    I use an app called Webthumb which has a great API (http://bluga.net/webthumb). Works very nicely!

    Paparazzi! is such a nice and simple, clean little app.

    I use GRAB, which is built into Macbook, and which lets you capture

    a selection (drag the curser to cover what you want to GRAB)

    a window (and if you have multiple windows open you can specify which one with a click)

    a screen

    a timed screen


    and save them as TIFFS (so no lossy on saving)

    The firefox extension screengrab has to be the best tool availble.

    The ability to screengrab an entire page is invaluable.

    I wish I had this 10 years ago. The times I have spent taking several screenshots and then compositing them in photoshop.

    I would like to second FastStone Capture -- it truly is the coolest little app out there for screen grabs [Shift]+[PrtScn] to capture active window;
    [Ctrl]+[PrtScn] capture rectangular region with corner zoom in viewer;
    [Alt]+[PrtScn] to capture a particular Window or Object;
    + Capture freehand region, capture scrolling window, full screen, etc. etc. all with keyboard shortcuts.

    Lots of cool details like width/height previewing at different places, extra tools, etc. And it's small footprint, non-obtrusive with its own valuable lightning fast image viewer for your screen grabs. Free for home use. I gladly voluntarily paid the $19.95 for my commercial usage to support excellent software.

    You missed browsershots.org. Very good site if you don't mind the actual browser window in the image too. Choice of browsers is quite extensive also.

    Hi,
    I'd like to introduce the plugin that takes screenshot of loaded webpage and performs various bitmap operations with it. It could be useful both for users and developers to save webpage fragments and quickly create text and graphic annotations over captured image. Screenshots could be saved to disk in PNG, BMP and JPEG formats, copied to clipboard, e-mailed and exported to external editor.
    It's absolutely free, you can download it from: http://screenshot-program.com/fireshot/fireshot...

    To get it installed in firefox simply type this link in address bar.

    Screenshots are availabe at: https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/5648

    Any comments and reviews will be appreciated!

    Good list, but where is Skitch (plasq.com) for quickly snapping, writing or drawing on and posting screen shots, web cam shots, iPhoto images, etc.?? Relatively new kid on the block, but fun and fantastic.
    Also, from yellowmug.com, the more stoic EasyCrop makes scaling and saving screen shots into different formats and folders super easy.
    I alternate between the two and together, they've saved me tons of time.
    Thanks for the cool tips on other programs out there, too.

    Your post just saved my life :)
    thanks for the list
    I used Save As Image
    it was just what I was looking for
  • Michael · 2 years ago
    picoshot.com is another free web based service for thumbnails.
  • thedharmablues · 2 years ago
    I'd second Skitch as my choice utility for screencapturing amongst other things. If anybody needs an invite for it, let me know.

  • Ken · 1 year ago
    Thanks for your recommendation of "Save as image" plugin. I really like it. Well, how about "FireShot" and "Snapper" plugins? Both are excellent screen plugins too!
  • Matt · 1 year ago

    Avant browser comes with a screen grab option (window or entire page) out of the box. It's funny more people don't use it - it's packed with features.
  • iwe · 1 year ago
    best utility for webpage screenshot is here:

    most simple way to make screenshot:

    program named Magic Screenshot (http://www.roversoft.dp.ua/default.aspx?Product..., download from http://roversoft.dp.ua/products/MagicScreenshot...). This program allow you to make screenshot of full or part screen and even mark any areas on screen. Screenshot public to internet automatically and you can give this link to any your friends or partners any ways - email, ICQ, publish to forums. Very easy and very useful program (see on butterfly near clock after installation)

    I have been using the conventional method of "PrtScr" key most of the time in my programming experience. I hv not seen such a good list of plugins and other software for this purpose. Good work and a good collection. Hv to find one among them for myself! :)
  • Yoana · 1 year ago

  • ulgo · 1 year ago

  • engnr · 5 months ago
    I guess for a limited time http://who-is.net is allowing free un-watermarked full screenshots. I've been using it while I can!

    Screengrab is my pick.
