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:
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.
I’ve been using Canva for the web for years now and have often lamented about the lack of an Android app so I could design quick graphics for posts, headers, or just for fun. Well, imagine my surprise when I went to create a Twitter header for @fasthostnigtips and stumbled onto the download for the Canva Android app!
Apparently it’s been out since late November 2017, so I definitely missed the boat on that one. Oh well. I tell you about it now just in case you didn’t already know about it.
If you have not used Canva before, it is a great little site/app that contains tons of graphics, photos, text elements, backgrounds, and layouts with recommended media sizes for your content. Whether you need an image for a Twitter post, YouTube channel, Facebook post, book covers, custom image sizes and more, Canva has something you can use.
Although the post title is Canva for Android, I’ve included a link for iOS downloads as well. And don’t forget the original web app!
