Freeware Screen Capture: Window Clippings

Now that FastStone no longer offers its screen capture utility for free, the hunt is on for a feature-rich freeware alternative. Window Clippings free version does a good job of fitting the bill, and the 10 dollar version will leave your wallet intact, if just a bit lighter.

The freeware option includes these features:

• Include multiple windows in selection
• Launch Options window from command line
• Launch capture screen from command line
• Hide notification icon
• Convert to black and white

For just $10, you also get to:

• Include mouse pointer
• Allow object selection
• Freeze window during capture
• Delay before capture (to capture pop-ups)
• Copy file to clipboard
• Configurable image formats
• Post-save events
• Register and configure add-ins
• Crop or expand selection
• Quick select desktop, work area or monitor

Screen capture utilities have been a powerful tool for me in my blogging, but you'll find them helpful whenever you want to show a friend what you're seeing on your screen and for 1,000 other things besides.
