Gadwin PrintScreen: Lightweight Windows Screenshot Tool

A compact and feature-rich screenshot utility for capturing full screens, active windows, regions, and scrolling content with basic image editing capabilities.

What is Gadwin PrintScreen?

Gadwin PrintScreen is a feature-rich screenshot capture utility for Windows that makes it easy to take screenshots. It provides more options than the native Print Screen key, allowing you to capture specific regions of the screen, active windows, scrolling capture, and fullscreen grabs.

With Gadwin PrintScreen, you can capture rectangular regions by dragging the mouse, freehand regions by drawing, full screens, active windows, and even scrolling captures of webpages or documents. After taking a screenshot, you can annotate it with shapes, text, arrows, and more.

The application has basic image editing functionality built-in so you can crop, resize, flip, rotate, and tweak the brightness/contrast of screenshots before saving them. It supports exporting screenshots in JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF, and GIF formats.

Some key features include:

  • Rectangular region capture
  • Freehand region capture
  • Active window captures
  • Fullscreen captures
  • Scrolling window captures
  • Basic image editing tools
  • Support for multiple output formats
  • Automated naming and saving options

Gadwin PrintScreen has a straightforward interface and handy shortcuts to streamline the screenshot process. Lightweight yet full-featured, it's a good alternative to the Snipping Tool for taking screenshots on Windows.
