Some user comments
'Wow, what a fine job you did in making MWSnap!! I have been completely amazed at how many features it has for such a small program! In fact, each time I checked to see if it had another feature that I was looking for.. there it was, exactly as I hoped it would be!!!!
I have not found any other screen capture utilities to match it. I love the way it automatically saves each captured picture to the folder of my choice, and in the format of my choice, so that I can keep capturing without having to bother with naming the files or telling it where to put them.
I could go on and on.. it has so many good features! Even the help menu is great! Thanks so much for taking the time to make MWSnap!'

'I thought Screen Seize of PC Magazine is the best and smallest program for screen capturing, but after running MWSnap I found it a much better application. I would rate it 10/10 for its usefulness and compactness.'

'I just want to thank you for your freeware program 'MW Snap v 1.10'. It is helping me tremendously to take snapshots from data - graphs (charts) on my screen. Thank you so much for your nice piece of software. I searched on the net for programs like the one you made, and I must admit: The most important thing is not that your program is for free .. But the great thing is that your little screenshot program is just THE BEST !!!!!! It has very nice features and produces no software bugs (at least not on my PC). This is important because I'm running software full of financial data on my computer and the last thing I need is software bugs or crashes. Thanks again for this tremendous piece of intelligent work.'

'Just want to say up front that this is by far one of the easiest to use and functionally perfect 'screen shot' programs I've encountered. Better than the ones that I paid top $ for!'

Here on BetaNews, some of our most constantly popular posts relate to Windows 10's 'secret' screen recorder that is part of the Game Bar tool. Seemingly aware that people are keen to be able to create video of on-screen activity, Microsoft is now working on a dedicated screening recording app.
Temp cleaner filehippo. Currently known as Video GIF Capture, the tool is being created by the PowerToys developers and it promises to give people the ability to record what is happening on their screen and save it as an animated GIF or video file.
See also:
Video GIF Capture is a 'tentative name for this PowerToy' which will not only give users the ability to record what is happening on their screens, but also basic editing tools. The team behind the tool envisions it being used to record instructional videos, as well as being a means of easily sharing potentially large content such as 3D models and renders.
The Video GIF Capture utility differs from the Game Bar screen recorder in a number of important ways. As well as enabling users to capture their entire screens, it can also be used to capture a selectable portion of the screen. Additionally, it will be possible to add text overlays to recordings, capture cursor movement, and record keystrokes. It will not, however, record microphone audio, webcam footage or offer frame-by-frame editing.
Screen Grab Utility
The tool is described by the PowerToys team as being an alternative to complicated third-party screen recorders:
Screen Grab Chrome
Users are evolving to need to share more than just static images of their desktop. Given this fact, there becomes a need for a light-weight tool beyond the standard screenshot technologies that allows quick and easy screen recordings. Such tooling can enable an increased range of creative license for users to develop the visual experiences that truly bring their visions to life. While there is 3rd party software that exists for this purpose, these tools tend to provide overly complex functionalities that are excessive for simple use cases. Therefore, this document proposes the development of a lightweight, native Windows alternative to allow for fast and straight-forward screen recording and editing. This would allow for increased productivity and offer a familiar and intuitive UI experience based on similar Windows Shell tooling for easy onboarding.
