The Hot Key Screenshot program was developed for quickly and easily creating screenshots in an online game -. Often during the game you have to take a lot of screenshots within a short period of time. For example, you need to take a series of pictures of an interesting game moment, or quickly film the actions of the offender without being distracted by extraneous actions.
Such standard Windows tools are simply not suitable for these purposes. While we take the first screenshot and save it to disk, time and moment will be irretrievably lost!

Hot Key Screenshot is free from all these shortcomings. Specifications and opportunities.

Not demanding on system resources. Does not load the processor and RAM.
- Create and save screenshots by pressing a hotkey (configurable)
- Save image to JPEG format, which allows you to save good quality images with a small resulting file size.
- Ability to adjust the degree of image compression (picture quality).

Working window of the program

Working with the program
The program does not require installation and works immediately after its launch. Screenshots are saved to the "pic" folder, which is located in the same folder as the Hot Key Screenshot.exe program file.

Default settings
After its first launch on the computer, the program has the following settings:
- Hotkey for taking a screenshot is F8.
- Quality of stored JPEG file 80%.
- Sound indication of user actions (selecting a hotkey / taking screenshots) is enabled.

To change program settings, select the desired parameters and click the "Apply" button, after which the new settings will take effect.

* To close the program, use the "Exit" button, or use the "Exit" menu (right mouse button on the tray icon).

History of versions and changes

Version 1.1
Fixed an error that occurred when changing the monitor screen resolution and leading to cropping of part of the image in the screenshot, or overlapping of 2 different images.

1. Lyudmila 02.06.2011
Thank you for a wonderful and very easy to use program. Quite often you have to take screenshots at work, it’s terribly inconvenient to press the print screen and then paste the image into the editor. It works very quickly and conveniently!

2. Olga 07.06.2011
Thank you very much for the little program, it’s very convenient, you don’t need to make unnecessary movements, you press one button and the photo is ready.

3. Evgeniy 20.06.2011

6. Gusik 21.07.2011
Where is it? Where are the screenshots sent?

Answer:
The program does not require installation; it is located where you unpacked the archive with the program.
Screenshots are saved to a folder pic, which is located in the same folder in the program. The path to this folder is shown in the program window

7. Victor 28.07.2011
Is it possible to change the saving address of a photo?

Answer:
You can if you place the program in the folder where you want to save screenshots.

8. Igrok 20.08.2011
The program works like a miracle on the fly. I play online games and often take screenshots of game moments. Previously, when using analogues, at the time of creating a screen the computer was very slow and the FPS was below the baseboard. With this program, especially if you turn off all sound effects, screenshots are created instantly.

9. Taraska 10.10.2011
Very convenient program for screenshots. Of the minuses, it does not take a screenshot from a playing video file. Otherwise everything is great.

10. Nubochek) 01.11.2011
Hello) I have a question. I'm making a screenshot. I look in the pic folder. there's nothing there. What to do?

Answer:
When you take a screenshot you hear sound effect programs (click of the camera)?

11. Evgeniy 26.11.2011
Hello! I have the same question. I'm making a screenshot. I look in the pic folder - there is nothing there, the sound effect of the program is also not audible. What to do?

Answer:
The absence of a sound indication means that the program does not record the pressing of a hot key, and therefore will not be able to process this event.

Possible following reasons program malfunction.

Sound indication is audible:

The program is in ZIP archive. Before using it, the archive must be unpacked. Otherwise, the program will not be able to save the data, since it is located inside the archive.

The program may be running with permissions that do not allow you to create files. In Vista - Windows 7, run the program as administrator (right-click on the program file - run as administrator).

Sound indication is not heard:

A reserved hotkey may be used by another application and this may cause a conflict. Try changing hotkey to another.

The program works on the principle used in some keyloggers- tracking of keys pressed. Therefore, theoretically, its function of tracking keystrokes can be blocked by some antiviruses. In this case, you should add the program executable file to the antivirus software exceptions.

P/S
In case of problems with the program, please provide more detailed information: OS, Anti-Virus, so that it would be possible to check the functionality of the program in real conditions.

I take a screenshot in the game. sound of the picture I go out, open the folder, there is a picture of a black screen. what to do? costs Win 7 basic

Answer:
The program cannot take a screenshot of an image created using DirectX. In this case, you will see a black window.

13. Vladimir 13.02.2012
I use a program to take screenshots of the screen while reading e-books in PDF format on a laptop. One problem has been identified. When resuming from sleep mode, the program takes a screenshot of only the left side of the screen. On the right side of the image, the program inserts a screenshot of the right side of the last image taken before entering sleep mode. After rebooting the program everything works fine. The same jamb appears when the screen saver is turned on.

Answer:
Thanks for the information, I'll test it.

14. Vova 21.02.2012
Please tell me how to make this program take photos of the entire screen in the game, and not a square

15. Perdozavr 11.04.2012
Thank you. Here is the most adequate program, the rest of the multi-bread slicers-coffee makers-sock dryers in the blast furnace. Pressed and happiness. Thank you! Good luck with business!

16. Nikita 11.04.2012
The same problem as Vladimir, only when entering the game. After logging in, the program takes a screenshot of only the left side of the screen. The program inserts a screenshot of the right side of the last image into the right side of the image. After restarting the program everything works fine. Can you please fix this problem, it really bothers me VERY STRONGLY.

Answer:
Vladimir had a problem when exiting sleep mode and after turning on screen saver. Testing in these modes in WIN XP (SP3) did not reveal such a pattern. There may be a conflict with some program or service on the user’s PC.

P/S
The problem can only be fixed if it is recreated on the programmer's PC. It is impossible to correct what is not visible. And for this...

If you write about a problem, do not be lazy, at least tell us about the type of OS you have, what game it is about we're talking about and take a series of screenshots showing the problem. In general, what you need is not general information, but specific information that will help you recreate this problem on any PC.

17. Nikita 12.04.2012
O.S. - Windows 7 x64. I go to online game Crossfire. And here is [link] to the resulting screenshot (The previous screenshot, as you guessed, was Total Commander) And in all subsequent screenshots, TotalCommander was also on the right.

Answer:
I managed to create similar conditions on my PC, find the source of the problem and fix the problem. The program has been updated, please download the archive and replace the executable file. Let me know if your problem has been resolved.

18. Kirill 20.05.2012
Where can I see the screenshot taken?

Answer:
Screenshots are saved to the "pic" folder, which is located in the same folder as the Hot Key Screenshot.exe program file.

19. Sergey 17.08.2012
Constant interruptions with the “hot key”, does not remember either ctrl or F8... every time I configure a new one... It’s XP, the firewall was comodo now pc tools... it doesn’t matter.

Answer:
Let's go in order.

All program settings, including hotkeys, are stored in the set.ini file, which in turn is located in the same folder with the program.

This file is not present by default and is created only after changing the default settings. For the settings to take effect, you need to click the "Apply" button.

If the file is missing or has been deleted (not found), then the default settings apply. To take a screenshot, use the F8 key.

Those. If for some reason your hotkey is not configured, then F8 should work. If this does not happen, something may be blocking the program from checking the status of keystrokes on the keyboard.

20. Daniel 04.11.2012
Thanks to the developers for such a program. It really helps to capture interesting moments from the game! And free.

21. Mikhail 08.11.2012
Does it work in 7 WIND?

Answer:
It works, I corrected it in the description.

22. Sergey 10.11.2012
Hello, I have the same problem, I downloaded your program and put it in " new folder"on the desktop, the program works correctly, but now I go into the game "NFS Underground 2" and this program, although it takes a screenshot, is not from my game, but what was before opening it on the desktop, in general in the game "NFS Underground 2" For some reason this program doesn’t take a screenshot, explain why or maybe I should open the program first and then just the game? Explain, I’m waiting for an answer!

Answer:
Hello.
Program version 1.1? If yes, then it is difficult to say what the problem is. I downloaded a demo of the game, screenshots are taken using the default settings, although they are not always fully drawn.

P/S
This game is built on DirectX and even if everything works for you, you will not be able to take high-quality screenshots.

23. RValentin 28.02.2013
I use the program for its original purpose for online tanks.

There are often situations when servers crash, which means loss of funds if there is no evidence (screenshots/videos). Sometimes you just forget to screen it or are too lazy to screen it periodically.

In general, a question and wish:
I would really like to be able to make screenshots automatically at the desired frequency with a parallel press of “Tab”, so that not only your results are visible, but also the results of everyone playing, so that you can then present them to tank help for fund distribution. Select the interval between screenshots in the form “make screenshots every hh:min:sec”. That is, the ability to press start of the program once and not think about it again until the next time you press and turn it off.

24. Evgenia 17.10.2013
I want to remove the hotkey, do it as it was before, i.e. without her. It doesn’t work, tell me how? Thank you

Answer:
The program always has a "hot key". To reset all program settings, just delete the set.ini file; it is located in the same folder with the program (Hot Key Screenshot.exe file).

25. Vladimir 19.11.2013
Hello! I wrote to you about a glitch in the program (entry 13) and your answer is entry 16. Now I’ve tested it new version programs - 1.1 After starting the screen saver, the problem no longer exists!!! So the problem was still in the program, and not in the computer. I didn’t check after switching to sleep mode, I assume that everything is fine too! WinXP SP2 build CHIP XP. Thank you for the program - everything you need and nothing extra. By the way, the IL-2 works great in the game!

Answer:
Yes, the problem was in the program.

26. Vladimir 19.11.2013
Suggestion for improving the program. The program would be much more convenient if the user could assign names to a group of screenshots, and the program would assign them serial number. For example, “War and Peace_1”, “War and Peace_2”, etc. Something similar to how a program for taking images from digital cameras assigns file names. Sincerely, Vladimir.

27. Guest 28.08.2016
Thank you great program I give everything +10

28. Guest 02.10.2016
Why are my screenshots not saved to the piC folder?

Answer:
Your OS? Is the screenshot of the desktop saved, or are screenshots not taken in some game?

29. Marina 07.07.2017
Thanks a lot! The program is wonderful, ready-made screenshots in one click!

30. Serge 26.07.2017

37. Aslan 19.02.2019
I just downloaded this program, I haven’t tried it yet, but I look at the reviews and think everything is great! Thank you very much, I wish you all the best and prosperity in your family!

38. Eugene 22.03.2019
An excellent program, but I haven’t used 2 monitors before =) And now I understand that only the 1st monitor will take a screenshot, while while the “screenshot” is in the cache, the image from 2 monitors is “loaded” into the same paint.

Hello.

Who among us has not wanted to capture some episode on a computer screen? Yes, almost every novice user! You can, of course, take a picture of the screen (but this is too much!), or you can take a picture programmatically - that is, as it is correctly called, a screenshot (the word came to us from English - ScreenShot) ...

You can, of course, take screenshots (by the way, they are also called “screens”) and in " manual mode"(as described in this article:), or you can configure one of the programs presented in the list below once and receive screenshots by pressing just one key on the keyboard!

It is about such programs (more precisely, about the best of them) that I wanted to talk about in this article. I will try to present some of the most convenient and multifunctional programs of their kind...

F astStone Capture

FastStone Capture window

One of best programs to take screenshots! She has helped me out more than once and will help me out again :). Works in all versions of Windows: XP, 7, 8, 10 (32/64 bits). Allows you to take screenshots from any windows in Windows: be it a video player, a website or some program.

I will list the main advantages (in my opinion):

1. the ability to take a screenshot by setting up hot keys: i.e. press the button - select the area you want to screenshot, and voila - the screenshot is ready! Moreover, hotkeys can be configured to save the entire screen, a separate window, or select an arbitrary area into a screenshot (i.e., very convenient);
2. after you have taken a screenshot, it will open in a convenient editor where you can process it. For example, change the size, add some arrows, icons and other elements (which will explain to others where to look :));
3. support for all popular image formats: bmp, jpg, png, gif;
4. the ability to auto-load when Windows starts - thanks to which you can immediately (after turning on the PC) take screenshots without being distracted by launching and configuring the application.

S nagit

A very popular program for taking screenshots. It has a huge number of settings and various options, for example:

• the ability to take screenshots of a specific area, the entire screen, a separate screen, scrolling screenshots (i.e. very large tall screenshots 1-2-3 pages high);
• converting one image format to another;
• There is a convenient editor that will allow you to carefully trim the screen (for example, make it with uneven edges), add arrows, watermarks, change the size of the screen, etc.;
• Russian language support, all versions of Windows: XP, 7, 8, 10;
• there is an option that will allow you to take screenshots, for example, every second (well, or at the time interval that you set);
• the ability to save screenshots to a folder (each screen will have its own unique name. The template for specifying the name can be customized);
• the ability to customize hot keys: for example, you configured buttons, clicked on one of them - and the screen is already in the folder, or opened in the editor in front of you. Convenient and fast!

Options for creating screenshots in Snagit

The program also deserves the highest rating, I recommend it to absolutely everyone! Perhaps the only negative is that functional program worth some money...

G reenShot

Another cool program that allows you to quickly get a screenshot of any area (in almost 1 second! :)). Perhaps, it is inferior to the previous one only in that it does not have such a large number of options and settings (although, perhaps, for some this will be a plus). However, even those that are available will allow you to quickly and easily make high-quality screenshots.

In the program's arsenal:

1. a simple and convenient editor in which screenshots are saved by default (you can save them automatically directly to a folder, bypassing the editor). In the editor you can change the size of the picture, crop it beautifully, change the size and resolution, and add arrows and icons to the screen. In general, very convenient;
2. The program supports almost all popular image formats;
3. practically does not load your computer;
4. made in the style of minimalism - i.e. there is nothing superfluous.

By the way, the view of the editor is shown in the screenshot below (such a tautology :)).

Fraps

(Note: special program to take screenshots in GAMES)

This program is designed specifically for creating screenshots in games. But not every program can take a screenshot in a game, especially since if the program is not designed for this, your game may freeze, or you may experience lags and freezes.

Using Fraps is very easy: after installation, run the utility, then open the ScreenShot section and select a hotkey (which will take screenshots and send them to the selected folder. For example, the photo below shows that hot button F10 and screenshots will be saved to the folder “C:\Fraps\ScreenShots”).

The screen format is also set in the same window: the most popular are bmp and jpg (the latter allows you to get screenshots very small size, however, they are a little inferior in quality bmp).

Fraps: ScreenShot settings window

An example of how the program works is presented below.

Screen from computer game Far Cry(reduced copy).

By the way, in order for screenshots to be saved on your desktop and not uploaded to the Internet, you only need to adjust one switch in the program settings. Click on the program icon in the lower right corner of the screen and select the “save location” option.

Where to upload screenshots - ScreenCapture

In addition, if you save pictures to your desktop, you can select the format in which they will be saved: “jpg”, “bmp”, “png”. It's a shame the "gif" is missing...

How to save screenshots: choosing a format

Overall, an excellent program, suitable even for completely novice users. All main settings are displayed in a prominent place and can be easily changed. Moreover, it is completely in Russian!

Among the shortcomings: I will highlight the installer, which is quite large in size - 28 MB * (* for this kind of program this is a lot). And also the lack of support for the gif format.

Light Shot

(Russian language support + mini-editor)

Small and simple utility for creating and easily editing screenshots. After installing and launching the utility, to create a screenshot, just click on the “Preent Screen” button, and the program will prompt you to select an area on the screen, as well as where you will save this picture: on the Internet, on your hard drive, on social media networks.

Light Shot - selecting an area for the screen.

In general, the program is so simple that there is nothing more to add :). By the way, I noticed that using it it is not always possible to screen some windows: for example, with a video file (sometimes, instead of a screen, there is just a black screen).

J Shot

Developer website: http://jshot.info/

A simple and functional program for creating a screenshot of the screen. What’s especially pleasing is that this program has the ability to edit a photo. Those. After you have taken a screenshot of an area of ​​the screen, you are offered several actions to choose from: you can immediately save the picture - “Save”, or you can transfer it to the editor - “Edit”.

This is what the editor looks like - see photo below

Screamshot Creator

A very “light” (weighs only: 0.5 MB) program for creating screenshots. Using it is very simple: select a hotkey in the settings, then click on it and the program will prompt you to save or discard the screenshot.

Screenshot Creator - taken screenshot

If you click save: a window will open in which you will need to specify the folder and file name. In general, everything is quite simple and convenient. The program works very quickly (even if the entire desktop is captured), and it is also possible to capture part of the screen.

P icPick (in Russian)

A very convenient program for editing screenshots. After launch, it offers several actions at once: create an image, open it, determine the color under your mouse cursor, and capture the screen. Moreover, what is especially pleasing is that the program is in Russian!

PicPick Image Editor

How do you proceed when you need to take a screenshot and then edit it? First, screenshot it, then open some editor (Photoshop for example), and then save it. Imagine that all these actions can be done with one button: the picture from the desktop will be automatically loaded into a good editor that can handle most of the most popular tasks!

PicPick image editor with added screenshot.

Shotnes

(With the ability to automatically post screenshots on the Internet)

A very good screen capture utility. After you remove the desired area, the program will offer several actions to choose from:

• save the picture to HDD your computer;
• save the picture on the Internet (by the way, it will automatically place a link to this picture on the clipboard).

There are small editing options: for example, highlight some area in red, draw an arrow, etc.

Shotnes Tools - Shotnes tools

For those who are involved in website development - a pleasant surprise: the program has the ability automatic translation any color on the screen into the code. Simply left-click on the square area, and without releasing the mouse, move to the desired location on the screen, then release the mouse button - and the color is determined in the “web” line.

Define color

S creen Presso

(screenshots with the ability to scroll the page, to create high-height screenshots)

A unique program for creating high-height screenshots (for example, 2-3 pages high!). At least, this function, which is in this program, is rare, and not every program can boast of similar functionality!

I’ll add that the screenshot can be made very large, the program allows you to scroll the page several times and capture everything in full!

Screenpresso workspace

Otherwise standard program of this kind. Works on all major operating systems: Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10.

By the way, for those who like to record video from the monitor screen, there is such an opportunity. True, there are more convenient programs for this matter (I wrote about them in this note:).

Video recording / Snapshot of the selected area.

S upper Screen

(Note: minimalism + Russian language)

A very small screen capture program. Required for operation installed package Net Framework 3.5. Allows you to perform only 3 actions: save the entire screen into a picture, or a pre-selected area, or an active window. The program does not fully justify its name...

SuperScreen - program window.

E asy Capture

But this program fully lives up to its name: it takes screenshots easily and quickly, just by pressing one button.

By the way, the good news is that she immediately has a mini-editor in her arsenal, reminiscent of regular paint - i.e. you can easily edit your screenshot before posting it for public viewing...

Otherwise, the functions are standard for programs of this kind: capturing the entire screen, active window, selected area, etc.

EasyCapture: main window.

Lip2Net

(Note: easy and fast adding screenshots to the Internet + receiving a short link to the screen)

Quite a popular program for creating screenshots! I’ll probably say a banality, but “it’s better to try once than to see or hear 100 times.” Therefore, I recommend that you launch it at least once and try to work with it.

After starting the program, first select the function of capturing part of the screen, then select it, and the program will open this screenshot in the editor window. See below picture.

Clip2Net - a screenshot of part of the desktop was taken.

Results of publishing the screenshot on the Internet.

-----------------------

This concludes the review of the best programs (in my opinion) for capturing the screen and creating screenshots. I hope that you find at least one graphics program useful. I would be grateful for any additions on the topic.

Every user sooner or later is faced with the need to record what is happening on the screen of a monitor or laptop.
A snapshot or photograph of a computer screen is usually called a screenshot, which translated from English means Screen Shot.

The traditional method for capturing your computer's working screen is to use the Print Screen key, located in the top right row of your keyboard. When you click on it, the image available in this moment on the screen, copied to the clipboard.

In some laptops of the latest generation, the Prt Scr key is combined with other functions. In such cases, the key combination Fn+Prt Scr is used.

The procedure is similar to copying a document using the Ctrl+C command. The next step is to paste the copied screen image into the document. For this Any will do graphic editor available at hand: Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDraw and even Word.

The most affordable option is Paint program, installed by default on almost all machines. You can find it in the “Start” menu, in the “All applications” (“Standard”) subsection.

Open the program and create a new document. In the "Edit" menu, select the "Insert" command, or by clicking Ctrl keys+V. The picture is inserted into the document, but for further use it must be saved in image format. To do this, go to the “File” menu and select the “Save As” line. In the window that appears, in the “File type” line, you need to select the PNG or JPEG format. The screenshot is ready!

Save to Photoshop program is produced according to the same principle, but from Illustrator and Corel Draw the inserted picture will have to be exported to required format images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.).

It should be noted that the PNG format still allows you to save the screen image with the least loss of quality. This extension creates lightweight files with high-quality images.

If you need to insert a screenshot into Text Document, you can use text editor Word. To do this, just position the cursor in the desired place, then paste the image using the Ctrl+V command.

If several open windows are displayed on the desktop at the same time, but you need a snapshot of only one of them, you can use the key combination Alt + Prt Scr.

The described methods for creating a screenshot are universal for all versions of Windows, but in new versions there are special programs for creating and processing screen photos.

Programs for taking screenshots of your computer screen

There are many utilities designed for quickly copying the screen and further processing the image. All these programs are similar to each other. Almost all of them contain functions such as:

• creating a screenshot of a selected area, one window or the entire workspace;
• process editing using a pop-up menu;
• the ability to take a screenshot in seconds using two clicks or hotkeys;
• autosave;
• work in background;
• saving images in JPG, PNG and BMP formats;
• Automatic loading of the program when you turn on the computer.

The tools are also not much different:

• marker – a tool for selecting the desired fragment;
• pen – a tool for text accompaniment on the screen;
• eraser – deletes the actions of previous tools;
• copying – saving to the clipboard;
• creating a fragment – ​​a new snapshot;
• sending a fragment – ​​send by email.

Some utilities have special functions.

Clip2Net has the ability to upload files of any type (pictures, audio and video) to the server and publish them online.

Clip2Net is very popular precisely because of its huge database of public files on various topics.

The Clip2Net utility is equipped with a screen video recording function (screencast), which is very convenient for creating step-by-step video instructions.

The EasyCapture program has added a frame rotation function that opens additional features in editing.

Lightshot

Lightshot is a lightweight free program that does not have its own interface, but is very easy to use.

To install the utility, just go to the official website app.prntscr.com/ru and select the download option. After installation, the program is automatically assigned to Autorun and runs in the background.

To create a picture in Lightshot, just click on the program shortcut on the toolbar at the bottom of the desktop or press the PrtSc key, after which you use the mouse to create a selected area (visually it is more transparent).

Simultaneously with saving and uploading to a remote server, a link to the image is displayed in the window that appears.

To open a screenshot, just follow the link by pasting it into the search bar. Now you can save it as a regular picture in the desired format.

Uploaded screenshots are stored on the server and are available to the user.

The screenshot can be edited like a photo. To do this, just click the “Edit” button on the Lightshot panel and use any suitable tool.

The saved screenshot can be sent for printing or posted on social networks - Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte, Pinterest, or search on Google for similar images.

Lightshot is available for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10. Integrated into Chrome, Opera, Firefox, IE.

Joxi

Joxi is the latest, Russian-language, ultra-fast program for creating and editing screen photos. Its peculiarity is the presence of its own hosting. Remote server provides 1 GB for free, and screenshots are automatically saved to the specified folder.

To install the utility, you need to go to Joxi.ru and start downloading the file. The installation procedure is standard: select a language, accept the terms of the agreement. At the end of the installation, registration will be required ( email address and password to enter the program).

To create a screenshot, as in Lightshot, you need to click on the Joxi icon, then use the mouse to press and hold left button, create a selected area. A pop-up toolbar gives you the opportunity to edit the image before it is saved to the server. Besides standard set, in Joxi it is possible to select the color and thickness of drawing tools, as well as edit the size of the selected area using the same mouse.

The Joxi utility, unlike similar utilities, creates scrolling screenshots.

The program provides instant publication on social networks and the ability to edit and comment on a screenshot in them. To do this, just click the icon of the desired group.

Joxi is compatible with Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10.

Floomby

Floomby is a client program developed for Windows 7. The functionality and operating procedure are completely the same as the utilities described above. The program can create screenshots, publish them online, edit them in graphical and text mode, create snapshots of screen fragments, individual windows, or the entire workspace.

The utility supports autorun in the background, and if necessary. An archive of saved images is automatically created. Among other things, you can upload files of any type (music, video) to the server.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the program to malfunction, in particular, an error in reading files with the -exe extension.
You can download the program.

SSmaker
