FastStone Capture

FastStone Capture is a free computer screen capture software suitable for anyone who wants simple screenshot manipulation. So if you only have personal use and not too often, FastStone Capture is a perfect choice and suits your desires. There is also a premium version available for as little as $20 if you want to fully utilize all the features of the software.

FastStone Capture has all the tools that users need for a screen recording software, including screen recording, digital editing tools for photos and game recording, or recording the operation of other softwares. However, with the free version, you cannot have as many options as for a professional software. For example, it does not have social sharing features like Facebook, Instagram, nor automatic capture function or manual for newbies. However, the basic features required are enough for your simple work.

FastStone Capture also has fewer output file formats than other screen capture software. Popular image formats include JPG, PNG and GIF. Screen recording video output format only has the mp4 extension. But if you want to change the extension of the screenshot or the video, you can download and use other software to do this.
