What do you like best about FastStone Capture?

I love this application because nowadays it is very common to request a screenshot of anything, be it an error or a code or an image, and it can be done very fast with this tool, cutting and editing is very simple, the best is that we can capture beyond what we see on the screen, we can cut what we need from a whole capture and also edit it without using another application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FastStone Capture?

In my case, I do not know if it is because of the portable version (4.2) that I use, but I have to activate it or start it previously so that when I press the ImpPnt button, I make the corresponding capture. Another big disadvantage is that the tool is paid Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple design that pops up easily and gives you a ton of options to capture screen images or videos. The editing options are also extremely useful when adding notes or highlighting is required.

What do you like best about FastStone Capture?

Faststone is a simple but powerful software, I love that I can capture images quickly, and has several capture modes, which allows you to send the capture to the clipboard, save locally, or open an image editor in which you can customize even more the captured image, the application is great for those fast captures in which you need to increase productivity, it is completely free and occupies very little system resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FastStone Capture?

although faststone is great I must mention that not being able to capture videos with the application is disappointing, it would be good if I had an option for fast capture of videos, since today in my work I need to make small video captures, and I must use another application to perform that task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FastStone Capture:

that if you need to capture images quickly, and that you have several capture modes that use this application, since it is really effective and has a built-in editor for quick changes, you also have to place custom watermarks, and different capture modes which represent a different and novel way of capturing images, as a graphic designer I highly recommend this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FastStone Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

since I use the application the productivity has increased, previously I used other programs but they did not offer good options, with faststone I have the necessary options and the leftovers for the fast and powerful capture of images that I use daily in my work, particularly has become a fundamental tool since I make many captures for my design work, I usually use the option that allows me to place a watermark on the images, saving me a lot of time in comparison with other programs I used previously.

What do you like best about FastStone Capture?

What I like the most about FastStone is how easy and practical it is to make an image capture on my computer, to have different ways to capture, I can capture it in a personalized way, selecting all or part of the image I want to have, I like that I can after capturing the image edit it quickly with the editor that comes with the program, which has the basic functions of capture editing, since you can resize the capture, place text in different ways, place objects to the images, add watermarks to your captures and in this way customize without the need to use additional programs, it should be noted that the program is completely free for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FastStone Capture?

what I like the least is that the program does not have support for several languages, which can be inconvenient when taking advantage of all the functions of the program, since the language can sometimes be a limitation to take advantage of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FastStone Capture:

I highly recommend the program because with it you can make captures quickly and efficiently, captures can be edited and added more personalization details thanks to the built-in capture editor, on the other hand it is important to emphasize that the program does not consume almost the equipment's memory, its operation does not cause problems, it has no crashes of any kind, it is fast but above all it does not occupy almost space in the hard disk, since it is a very light program, it is necessary to emphasize that the program is free for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FastStone Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

the program has allowed me to speed up working time, since I usually do many captures, and thanks to the simple and immediate program to capture, I have time for other activities, this is thanks to the fact that I have an editor incorporated, in which once the capture is made I can make the changes and additions to the image that are necessary.

It is difficult to find something negative, however we can say that it would be convenient that the program has support for several languages, since it only has very few, limiting the scope of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FastStone Capture:

I tell everyone to use this application, it is a completely gratituita application for personal use and the commercial license is real economically, on the other hand you will see how your work will be done faster thanks to the capture editor that has the program, besides not It consumes system resources, which makes working with FastStone capture really a great experience. It is important to emphasize that the application has a very small interface, so that it does not hinder the work that is being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FastStone Capture?

Capturing images of the screen is really very easy, what I like the most is the variety of options to do it, you have the common options however you added more capture options that were needed and other applications did not have it, since from the same application I can send directly to the programs that I usually use, which makes the work on the computer more dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FastStone Capture?

I do not like that the trial version lasts only 30 days, since it might work with some basic functions once it expires in time, and the family plan is somewhat expensive, since it only covers 5 computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FastStone Capture:

I recommend that if you want a screen capture application, simple, that occupies very little space on the hard drive, easy to use, then that you use FasStone Capture, since you will notice the difference, your work will be faster, and you will even be able to capture video if it becomes necessary. the most outstanding is its own application of image editing, which brings the most important functions to modify the captured image, so you will not have to install another additional application, since FastStone has it all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FastStone Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

since I have the application work making the capture of images is much easier, since I send directly to word or power point the captured image, where later I end up modifying it, and helped me to gain a little more time and render at the time of the realization of some document.

What do you like best about FastStone Capture?

I love FastStone Capture because of its ease of use! I use this tool daily to send out screenshots as tutorials to help end users with their IT needs. The tool allows me to mark and draw on my screenshot, allowing me to add shapes and text to further demonstrate the details I am trying to convey. I love this tool and it is easily the best screenshot application i have used to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FastStone Capture?

I wish I could change the feature that follows the mouse pointer. Changing the color or shape of the highlight would be great.I love the feature to draw on the screenshot but it would be great to create a screencast with customized colors and shapes. I also would love to see a feature that allows me to edit videos I create by trimming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FastStone Capture:

This application is great! I believe it is only for Windows though so I would suggest to users to be sure they are using it for a Windows device only and not a Mac. This application definitely outperforms any stock screenshot applications that your computer may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FastStone Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to send out screenshot examples to illustrate my points. It makes understanding much smoother over online communications! I am able to mark up and write text explaining my point on the screenshots I take and the files are exported from FastStone Capture quickly and efficiently. I am able to say so much more with the screenshots I send out versus simply responding to end users in text-only responses. I leave FastStone Capture on throughout my day and constantly take screenshots. The application also allows me to create custom names for the files that are exported which is great for keeping my files organized and easy to find when I am trying to retrieve them quickly. I recommend FastStone Capture to all my coworkers and have told them that this is by far the best screenshot application out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
