Good experience overall. ----- ### "Essential utility software for Windows PC" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 April 2022* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have to have it installed on every PC with Windows. I think it's the only application I rated the highest, it's so helpful. Usually I use it to quickly capture part of the screen and it saves it for me on the desktop. Sometimes I send the captured images directly to printer or Dropbox. If I want to explain something to someone I send it to Paint and mark the points. The best thing is that all of those functions can be used with 1-2 clicks. Fast and easy, zero frustrations. > > **Cons**: I can't point at anything I wouldn't like in Greenshot. The options programmed into it seem to be carefully planned and are very useful. > > As in the title I think it's essential tool in business and in private life. There are a lot of use cases where you need to capture part of the screen to show something and share it, or just for yourself. I use it everyday. It makes it fast and not as frustrating as using the default print screen key. ----- ### "Simple to use, feature rich option" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *21 January 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software has a feature rich, easy-to-use interface with a very small learning curve for new users > > **Cons**: Some of the scaling controls are buggy at times and could require frequent saving to prevent loss of work. > > Great overall experience, highly recommend the product for new Product Managers or others looking to manipulate images or mockups with ease ----- ### "Best Desktop Screenshot Software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 August 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is light app, easy to use, fast, do job that need to do. All that Greenshot contain is enough to make it perfect experience, very worth\! > > **Cons**: There is no cons, maybe just if on web it could automatically detect pictures, yet it detect but not every time. > > I started using it long time ago, when I needed screenshot app for my pc. And after all that years I'm still using it. Software is so productive, all you need to do is open it and click on icon down. Then you just pick what you want it to do for you, click and bam. It asks you where to save/upload, it is finished. ----- ### "Greenshot - Lightweight and unintrusive" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 August 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Greenshot is super easy to use. The keyboard shortcuts are easy to remember. It consumes little RAM and CPU. > > **Cons**: When capturing content, it isn’t stored in the “clipboard” as in i cannot screenshot something and immediately paste it into an email. > > Greenshot has been and will be my go to software for screen capture. Hopefully it will only improve with time. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/226612/greenshot?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/226612/greenshot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
