What is FastStone Capture?
FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, yet full-featured screen capture tool and screen video recorder. It allows us to easily capture and annotate anything on the screen including windows, objects, menus, full screen, rectangular/freehand regions and even scrolling windows/web pages. It also allows us to record all screen activities including onscreen changes, speech from microphone, mouse movements and clicks into highly compressed video files. We can choose to send captures to editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, Word/PowerPoint document or upload them to our website. Editing tools include annotating (texts, arrowed lines, highlights), resizing, cropping, sharpening, watermarking, applying edge effects and many more. Other features include global hotkeys, automatic filename generation, support for external editors, a color picker, a screen magnifier and a screen ruler.

- Window / Object

Settings
- Run and minimize to System Tray when Windows starts -
- Load the program and minimize it to the System Tray area each time you start Windows. When minimized to the tray area, the program runs in standby mode and uses very little CPU and memory resources. To activate the program:
- Include Mouse Pointer in the capture - By default, the mouse pointer is not drawn in the captured image. Check this option if you want to display the mouse pointer in the captured image.
- Delay before capture - If you need time to prepare the windows or menus before the capture function activates, you can use this option to add a delay in seconds.
- Auto-Scroll interval - This value is used to control the speed of auto-scrolling in milliseconds. If the capture cannot keep up with the scrolling (e.g. there are some missing lines in the captured image), increase this value to solve the problem.
- When dropping a file on Capture Panel - Graphics files can be dragged and dropped onto the floating Capture Panel, which is an efficient way to edit / view files, especially when working with Windows Explorer. You can specify the desired action to handle dropped files: open in FastStone Editor or view in Full Screen.
- When capturing Full Screen of multiple monitors
- Capture active screen - select this option if you only want to capture the screen that contains the mouse cursor.
- Capture all screens - select this option if you want to capture all screens of your system.
- Capture active screen - select this option if you only want to capture the screen that contains the mouse cursor.
- Show more buttons on Capture Panel - If you use Open File in Editor, Screen Recorder, Screen Magnifier, Screen Color Picker or Screen Ruler frequently, check it to make it always accessible on the Capture Panel.
- Hotkeys - Hotkeys provide an efficient way (just a key press) to activate capture functions. Please note that the hotkeys are global, so you can use them anytime, anywhere as long as this program is running in the background. This is especially useful when you need to capture pop-up/drop-down menus.
Hotkeys can conflict with other programs. Here are some tips:
- Use rarely used key combinations. For example, by default, <Ctrl + PrtSc> key combination is assigned as the hotkey for capturing a rectangular region.
- Never use a common key. For example, you should avoid using single keys A-Z because once they become hotkeys, you might not be able to type properly. Other single keys such as F1-F12 are not good choices since they are frequently used in many other programs. However, key combinations like <Ctrl+Shift+F(x)> are usually good choices.
- If a hotkey conflicts with another program, you can solve the problem by assigning a different one in the Settings. Of course you always have the option of removing a hotkey.
- Use rarely used key combinations. For example, by default, <Ctrl + PrtSc> key combination is assigned as the hotkey for capturing a rectangular region.
- File name template - This option allows you to customize how file names are generated by the software.
