Greenshot has a number of options for taking screenshots, including: By moving a green rectangle to the correct position and size, “Capture region” enables you to choose a portion of the screen. To re-capture the exact same area that was previously captured, use the command “capture the last region.” Depending on the user’s preferences, the “Capture window” generates a screenshot of either the current or the selected window. The phrase “capture fullscreen” records the entire display (s). When a website is opened in Internet Explorer, “Capture Internet Explorer” enables producing a scrolling capture of webpages that are larger than the browser window.

Using GreenShot

Using Greenshot to record screen activity is fairly simple. Follow the procedures listed below to capture the events on the screen.

Step 1: Launch the website or other source of the desired capture. You can read the How to Turn On / Off Screenshot Tool in Firefox if you frequently use that browser.

Step 2: Adapt the steps below to your needs.

  • To capture the area, press the prtsc key.
  • To grab the most recent captured area, press Shift + prtsc.
  • Press the Alt and PrtSc buttons together to take a screenshot of an open window.
  • To take a screenshot of the entire screen, simultaneously press the Ctrl and PrtSc keys.

Step 3: As soon as the screen is captured, a number of alternatives appear next to the notification area. Select the “Open in image editor” option to perform more editing on the picture. Then, if needed, you can add boxes, arrows, and other signs.
