What do you like best about Greenshot?

The best thing I like about Greenshot is, it's editing features which are similar to Microsoft Paint, but when compared to Microsoft Paint, Greenshot is light weight, it consumes very less space in your system. In Greenshot image editor we can directly export the images to Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, OneNote, Outlook etc. Also we can upload the images directly to Confluence or Jira directly from the image editor screen itself. It's capabilities like Obfuscate, Highlight, Resize, Crop, drawing rectangle, ellipse what not it has everything that is required for editing the screenshots as well as any other images for business needs. The installation is also very easy. We use Greenshot in our VDI base image, as it takes very less space, which is ideal for VDIs and any virtual desktop environments. In envitonments where Light weight applications are preferred, Greenshot plays a crucial role. Also Greenshot is a perfect replacement for Windows Photos viewer application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

One thing that I dislike is it doesn't have any UI when opened directly, it will just run in background, we need to righ click on any image and select open with Greenshot Image Editor to get the GUI and all options, that is also fine considering the size of the application. Apart from that there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Greenshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Greenshot is drastically reducing the manual work for us. Before Greenshot, we used to edit the images in paint, snipping tool, Photoshop and then manually export those images to the required applications such as Word, Excel, Jira etc. but with Greenshot you can do everything from one console and no need to use multiple applications or manual exports. As we use VDI environment , we need a light weighted application which consumes as little space as possible and give all the best features of an Image Editor, Greenshot is exactly doing that for us. We installed Greenshot in our golden image and use it as template for our VDIs which more than 5000 users use on daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshot?

It is an easy-to-use snipping tool that provides better features than the Windows built-in snipping tool at no cost. There is no reason not to use the program and there is no use paying for anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

I wish there was more to the image editor but it does enough most of the time. I also wish after taking a snip that the options bar would show up bigger and not just small and in the corner of my monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Greenshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

In IT we are constantly sending screen shot to each other, and a tool that makes this process easier just helps to streamline the day. Their image edit ability also helps with adding or removing context to screen shots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshot?

For me, the best feature of Greenshot is making a screen of the whole web page, which could be very long in some cases. Standard options built-in Windows don't give as much flexibility as this free tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

I understand it is free, but after the installation, it always opens a web browser with a Greenshot donation page. This feature cannot be disabled, and it is problematic for mass deployments where we don't want to disturb the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Greenshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps to document work for different reasons like proof of testing, documentation, sending feedback, etc. It helps to organize and edit your screenshots for further use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
