Author November 29, 2025 7

FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, and comprehensive screen capture and video recording tool. It allows you to easily capture and annotate anything displayed on the screen, including windows, objects, menus, the full screen, rectangular/freehand/fixed areas, and scrolling windows/web pages.

It also allows you to record all on-screen activity, including screen edits, microphone input, mouse movements, and clicks, into highly compressed video files. You can choose to send captures to an editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, a Word/PowerPoint document, or upload them to your website.

Editing tools include annotation (text, arrows, highlights), resizing, cropping, sharpening, watermarking, applying outline effects, etc. Other features include image scanning, global keyboard shortcuts, automatic filename generation, support for external editors, a color picker, a screen magnifier, a screen crosshair, and a screen ruler.

FastStone Capture saves images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, and PDF formats. The built-in screen recorder records videos in WMV (Windows Media Video) format. You can also use WinSnap + Portable.
