Schedule screenshot. AutoScreen.NET is a program for automatic creation of screenshots. Automatic naming of screenshot files

Sometimes it's better to see once than hear a hundred times. It is on this principle that the program is based. time snapper- it can continuously create screenshots, and thereby maintain a kind of visual activity log.

time snapper once launched and configured, it creates screenshots of the computer screen non-stop until you stop it. All screenshots are automatically saved to the folder you specified with names corresponding to the time they were taken. Thus, a whole video library is obtained. Why is she needed? For example, to create a presentation or instructions for use, or to demonstrate errors that occur - there are many ways to use it.

Screenshots are taken at regular intervals. You can limit the total size of screenshots so that they do not take up all the free disk space. Also in time snapper you can automatically delete screenshots older than a certain elapsed time period.

Screenshots can be saved in all popular formats. But the most interesting thing in time snapper- this is the ability to sequentially view screenshots. You can view the activity on the computer sequentially - an interesting movie is obtained.

The program is excellent in all aspects, except for one - it is paid. It works for free only for 30 days, after that you will need to fork out for $24.95 - of course, not much, but such a program is not needed every day.

Which would make automatic screenshots hidden from the user?

Yes, there is a good one free program which takes a screenshot automatically in stealth mode. It's called Hidden Capture. In this article I will talk about the features of the application and how to properly configure and use it.

Screenshot automatically with Hidden Capture

- small free automatically in hidden mode. The program can take screenshots at a predetermined interval and save them to HDD.

You can download the Hidden Capture program for free using this direct link or from here from the file hosting. There is actually a newer version, but I recommend using this one. This version is more stable and has never crashed for all the time of use.

The application works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 8, 8.1, Windows 10.

Installing and configuring Hidden Capture

Once downloaded, let's proceed with the installation. Installation is standard and in my opinion is not difficult.

At the end of the installation, run the program, a small window with buttons will appear.

Hidden Capture: Main Window

Hide and wait - hide and wait
Start capture - activate screenshots
Settings - program settings
Exit - exit from the program
Slide Show - View screenshots in slideshow mode

First of all, let's go to the settings menu " Settings". Here you will see several tabs. Let's analyze each tab separately.

On the tab " General» The user can set the program launch method. If you want the program to automatically start when the operating system boots up, check the "Autorun at startup" option. On the right side are the "Shortcuts" settings, with which you can change the keyboard shortcuts for various tasks.

Settings. General tab

On the tab " capture» You can set the screenshot source to “From”. This could be the entire desktop, the active window, and so on. And also specify the folder in which the program will save screenshots "Save to" "Path".

In addition, you can set the interval "Interval" at which the program will save screenshots, as well as their quality "Quality". And at the bottom of the tab, you can set a pause when you turn on the “Pause on Screensave” screensaver and, to save space, check the option to save screenshots in black and white “Gray Scale image”, if this is not important for you.

In general, the program did not work badly for me and fully coped with its purpose to take a screenshot automatically in stealth mode. The screenshots were perfectly preserved, I did not notice any glitches. But while testing the software, I was haunted by the feeling that something was missing in me and it was definitely not beer with chips.

Probably I was disappointed by the fact that the program hangs in the list installed programs. Those. the program works hidden, but it does not really try to hide its presence in the system.

Hello.

Who among us did not want to capture some episode on the 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” in another way) and in " manual mode” (as described in this article:), or you can set up one of the programs listed below once and get screenshots by pressing just one key on your 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 bring some of the most convenient and multifunctional programs of its kind ...

FastStone Capture

FastStone Capture window

One of the best screenshot software! She has helped me out more than once and will still help me out :). 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):

the ability to take a screenshot of the screen by setting up hotkeys: i.e. press the button - select the area to be screened, and voila - the screen is ready! Moreover, hot keys can be configured to save the entire screen, a separate window, or select an arbitrary area to the screen (i.e. very convenient);
after you have made a screen, it will open in a convenient editor where it can be processed. For example, change the size, add some arrows, icons and other elements (which will explain to others where to look :));
support for all popular image formats: bmp, jpg, png, gif;
the ability to auto-load at Windows startup - 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 screen capture program. It has a huge number of settings and all kinds of options, for example:

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

Screenshot options in Snagit

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

Green Shot

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

In the arsenal of the program:

a simple and convenient editor, in which screenshots fall by default (you can save automatically immediately to a folder, bypassing the editor). In the editor, you can resize the picture, crop it beautifully, change the size and resolution, apply arrows and icons to the screen. In general, very convenient;
the program supports almost all popular image formats;
practically does not load your computer;
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 is the tautology :)).

f raps

(Note: a special program for creating screenshots in GAMES)

This program is designed specifically for creating screenshots in games. And not every program can make a screen in the game, especially since if the program is not designed for this, the game may freeze, or brakes and friezes will appear.

Using Fraps is very easy: after installation, launch the utility, then open the ScreenShot section and select hot key (using which screenshots will be taken and sent to the selected folder. For example, the photo below shows that the F10 hot button and screenshots will be saved to the “C:\Fraps\ScreenShots” folder).

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

Fraps: ScreenShot Customization Window

An example of how the program works is shown below.

Screenshot from the computer game Far Cry (small copy).

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

Where to upload screenshots - ScreenCapture

In addition, if you save pictures to your desktop, you can choose the format in which they will be saved: "jpg", "bmp", "png". Too bad the "gif" is missing...

How to save screenshots: format selection

In general, an excellent program, suitable even for completely novice users. All the main settings are placed in a prominent place and can be easily changed. In addition, it is completely in Russian!

Among the shortcomings: I will single out a rather large installer - 28 mb * (* for this kind of programs - this is a lot). As well as the lack of support for the gif format.

Light Shot

(Russian language support + mini-editor)

A 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“, and the program will prompt you to select an area on the screen, as well as where you save this picture: on the Internet, on your hard drive, in a social networks.

Light Shot - selection of the area for the screen.

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

J Shot

Developer site: http://jshot.info/

A simple and functional program for creating a screenshot of the screen. What is especially pleasing, in the arsenal of this program is the ability to edit the image. Those. after you have taken a screenshot of the screen area, you are offered a choice of several actions: you can immediately save the picture - “Save”, or you can transfer it to the editor - “Edit”.

This is what the editor looks like - see the photo below

Screenshot Creator

Very "light" (weighs only: 0.5 MB) program for creating screenshots. Using it is very simple: select a "hot" key in the settings, then click on it and the program prompts you to save or discard the screenshot.

Screenshot Creator - screenshot taken

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 fast (even if the entire desktop is captured), besides, it is possible to capture part of the screen.

P icPick (in Russian)

A very handy 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 pleases especially - 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, then open some editor (Photoshop for example), and then save. And imagine that all these actions can be done with a single button: the picture from the desktop will automatically be loaded into a good editor that can handle most of the most popular tasks!

S hotnes

(With an opportunity automatic placement screenshots online)

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

save the image to your computer's hard drive;
save the picture on the Internet (by the way, it will automatically place the link to this picture in the clipboard).

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

Shotnes Tools - Shotnes Tools

For those who develop websites - a pleasant surprise: the program has the ability to automatically translate any color on the screen into a code. Just click the left mouse button on the square area, and without releasing the mouse, move to the right place on the screen, then release the mouse button - and the color is defined in the line "web".

Define color

S-creen Presso

(scrollable page screenshots, to create high-altitude screenshots)

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

I will add that the screenshot can be made very large, the program allows you to scroll the page several times and capture everything completely!

Screenpresso Workspace

The rest is a standard program of this kind. Works in 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 selected area.

S upper Screen

(Note: minimalism + Russian language)

A very small screen capture program. Requires an installed package to work net framework 3.5. Allows you to perform only 3 actions: save the entire screen as a picture, or a pre-selected area, or the active window. The program does not fully justify its name ...

SuperScreen - program window.

E asy Capture

But this program fully justifies its name: in it, screenshots are taken easily and quickly, just by pressing one button.

By the way, what pleases, in her arsenal immediately there is a mini-editor, reminiscent of the usual paint - i.e. you can easily edit your screenshot before posting it to the public ...

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

EasyCapture: main window.

C lip2Net

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

Quite a popular program for creating screenshots! Probably, I will say a banality, but "it is better to try once than to see or hear 100 times." Therefore, I recommend that you run it at least once and try to work with it.

After launching 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 - screenshot of a part of the desktop.

The results of the publication of the screen on the Internet.

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

This review of the best programs (in my opinion) for capturing the screen and creating screenshots has come to an end. I hope that at least one program for working with graphics will come in handy for you. For additions on the topic - I would be grateful.

There are two ways to take a screenshot: using Windows tools, or using a special program. How to take a screenshot using Windows, I have already described in detail in the article. Today we will talk about Screenshot Maker, a special program for taking screenshots from the screen.

A rather interesting question immediately arises, why install a program if you can do without it?

That's right, you can do without the program, but the program is much more convenient and faster to work with.

The interface of this program is not very pleasing to the eye, but its functionality is pleasantly surprising.

Benefits of Screenshot Maker

1) Absolutely free. To tell the truth, there are some features that are only available in the paid version of “Professional”, but I would not say that these are some necessary features. For example, in free version you can’t save screenshots in PNG format, change the font in comments, etc. (do you need it?). All in all free version absolutely free, and the functions from the Professional version are unlikely to be useful to you.

2) The program is completely in Russian (there is also English).

3) Undemanding to the system resources of the computer.

4) Works without installation.

5) It can start with Windows OS, and immediately hide in the tray.

6) Customizable hotkeys.

7) You can put some comments on the screenshots.

8) There is an “Auto Screenshot” function, automatic shooting, with a specified time interval.

9) There are several modes:

Screenshot of the entire visible area.
Screenshot of the active window.
Screenshot of the selected area.

10) Automatically save screenshots to a specified folder with a specified name.
There are also other modes:

Take a screenshot and ask for a file name.
Take a screenshot and copy to clipboard.

11) Can save screenshots in the following formats: jpg, bmp, gif (png in the paid version).

12) You can set the quality for screenshots in jpg format.
Accordingly, the worse the quality, the smaller the file size will be (in my opinion, the value of 90 is the most optimal).

Before use, this program should be configured:

Specify the location to save the files.
Set the format (best to put jpg).
Check the "Automatically name files" checkbox and set the file names.
Set up hotkeys.
And so on ..., especially in the settings you can not go deep.
