About FastStone Capture

FastStone Capture helps to take screenshots and edit them later. Take screenshots at different angles as you want. It is worth noting the convenient function of quickly saving an image of the active Window. The user specifies the entire screen area or a selected area.

Game Recorder

In addition, to the above functionality, the FastStone Screen Capture can record what is happening in your gaming. So you can watch everything in one video file. If the user wishes, it will be possible to save this video. Finally, the images can be easily transferred to text editors or uploaded to the Internet.

Record Browsing

Even take screenshots of scrolling activity while browsing a web page or application. You will no longer need to take several screenshots to get a complete image of a web page. Taking a snapshot of the entire web page also makes things easier for web designers.

Image Viewer

The functionality of Faststone Screen Capture is very wide. You can not only edit the screenshot you took but also view files in the most common formats. For example, BMP, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, GIF, JPEG and also the very popular PDF format. Most common formats provide more possibilities for working with images. So carry out the most common image operations without any problems.

Hotkey Facility

Also, for more experienced users, there is the possibility of hotkeys. The hotkey increases the speed of working with screenshots. Thanks to key combinations. Convert an ordinary screenshot to a beautiful photo that you won’t be ashamed to share.

Easy Interface

FastStone Capture interface is very convenient and casual. The easy interface allows an inexperienced PC user to take screenshots and edit them. It’s nice and easy to process active photos. Much better than the standard Windows PrintScreen button.
