Greenshot

Greenshot is easily one of the best screen capture programs available and has been my favorite since finding it only a couple of years ago.
This nifty, robust, free little program resides in your system tray and, with the click of it’s icon, allows you to capture any of the following:

  • Specific regions of a screen
  • Entire program windows
  • Last captured region
  • Window from a list

The great thing is, once you have your area selected, you can open it in Greenshot’s own editor for additional enhancements.

Observe:


Greenshot Output Options
Once you are happy with your screen capture, in addition to normal file saving options, you can share your output via Outlook, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Paint (no, really), and Imgur.

I have personally used Greenshot in all of the training materials for my supported work applications.

Although it is technically free and open source, if you are feeling generous, you can support the developers.

Available for Windows and (now) Mac.
