After the shot is taken, a small notification box appears on the bottom of the screen, which provides a few separate options for users.Īlthough the screenshots taken with LightShot do automatically go into a database, the user has the luxury of defining the area.

By choosing either the full screen (whatever is on the desktop) or a user-defined area, a one-click feature allows users to quickly snap a capture and save it to a defined database of captures. The application itself is relatively light, only taking 2.5 MB of space, and it has quite a few extra features compared to the old-fashioned Windows capturing method.Įven though it brings more features to the party, the tool itself is still rather simplistic. Small, compact and neat, LightShot is a screen-capturing program designed to offer higher-quality screen shots compared to what Windows offers with stock functions.ĭeveloped by Skillbrains to act as a replacement for the screenshot feature with Windows PCs (CTRL + PrntScrn), LightShot snaps high-quality captures in a simple format.
