Our Favorite Free Software, MWSnap… Outstanding Screen Capture Program!

MWSnap, Screen Capture 8PAK.COM Studios

In this, our fourth installment of our Editors’ favorite free or low cost software programs, we most heartily recommend the outstanding screen capture program MWSnap.

MWSnap is a small yet powerful Windows program for snapping (capturing) images from selected parts of the screen.

The Current version is capable of capturing the whole desktop, a highlighted window, an active menu, a control, or a fixed or free rectangular part of the screen. MWSnap handles 5 most popular graphics formats and contains several graphical tools: a zoom, a ruler, a color picker and a window spy. It can be also used as a fast picture viewer or converter.

MWSnap does not require installation and does not need any special dlls, drivers or system files which can mess up your system.

Features of MWSnap Include:

  • 5 snapping modes.
  • Support for BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG and GIF formats, with selected color depth and quality settings.
  • System-wide hotkeys.
  • Clipboard copy/paste.

  • A ruler tool for measuring screen objects lengths.
  • A color picker showing screen colors with separated RGB parts.
  • Fast picture viewer.
  • Adding frames and mouse pointer images.
