7capture

There are times when you need to capture your desktop and save it as an image file, maybe for showing an error message to the producer of an application or for recalling certain information which cannot be saved from a certain program. Unfortunately, the capturing utility which is included in Windows is not good enough for most users and it's really difficult to use. A much better way of capturing your desktop is by using the 7capture application.

After installing and launching this Windows application, the user will be able to capture the desktop in two ways, either by taking a screenshot of the entire screen or just by capturing an active window. 7capture is able to detect all running applications and allows the user to select the one that should be captured. After the desktop is captured, the user will be able to view the screenshot directly in the program's interface.

At this point, one will be able to either save the screenshot as a graphical format, by choosing one of the many image formats supported by 7capture or copy it to the clipboard, for importing it into any application. Unfortunately, there is no option for capturing certain areas of the desktop manually.
