Screen Grab Software

At one time or another everyone needs to be able to grab the whole screen as an image. Of course that’s what the PrtScn key is for on the keyboard but what if you don’t want the whole screen?

Perhaps you only need a very small image from the screen or maybe you need the whole screen less the assorted tool bars, what do you use for that?

Well here is a little tool that I have found that’s invaluable for grabbing the full desktop, a fixed portion of the desktop or even a variable area of the desktop.

It’s called MWSnap and you can find it by following the link.

It’s a free download, although the author does ask for a donation, and it installs very easily and is quite simple to use.

Here is a snap I took of the whole screen Less the toolbars) on one of my computers:

and here is another using the variable size tool.

Once you have the snapshot you want you can then save it to anywhere on your computer at any quality level you need.

Because of the nature of the work I do in reviewing websites I find that I’m using this tool almost every day.
