What do you like best about Lightshot?

For years I had been struggling with the native screenshot features within Windows. Other programs solved this, but in a very clunky way. Lightshot is 'get it done' service. Everything you would need to quickly take screenshots, it does without effort or hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

There is genuinely nothing in this neat little program that has ever caused frustration in my user experience or expectation. It is truly the best of the best, and simple to use on top of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Everything from quickly copying and pasting a section of a message into a messenger, to doing cut-out screenshots of specific sections within my workspace, to saving screenshots for later use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

Lightshot is the best app I have ever experienced. Here are some very good points I want to mention.

1) You can access the screenshot feature by just clicking the Prt Scr button and you can capture the full screen as well as by cropping the area you like.

2) Screenshot can be directly uploaded to the cloud and copy the link to share with others.

3) While capturing the screen, you can copy, save and share via Social Media.

4) You can mark some special areas on the screenshot and even write text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

Lightshot is a very good app for taking a screenshot but still have a con to mention here.

It would be great if the cloud uploaded screenshot maintains a history of the screenshots. You have to upload the captured screenshot over there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest problem I am solving by using the LightShot is now I can capture the screen as I want and as much I want. Windows default screenshot feature takes a full screenshot and you have to crop it according to your need. But with the Lightshot app, you can access a couple of extra features.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

Easy, lightweight software for screen capture. You can control if it automatically starts at the system startup or not. You can configure one key to capture, and the best part is as soon as you grab the screen area, it is automatically in the clipboard, and you can use ctrl +V to paste it in any place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

I don't particularly appreciate that they have given minimal customization options like clip art to make the screenshot snappy. They don't have the functionality to control font and size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:

Its a free, lightweight and easy to use software for every day copy paste needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was taking screenshots for my work documents. It's easy to control the size of the screenshots so that they're light when we paste those screenshots in the word document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
