Screenshot Uploader 0.25

Screenshots are a quick and efficient way to exemplify something that’s going on your desktop, and is also one component of testing programs and video games, or to build tutorials. What’s more, some online services allow you to upload to a personal account and share with others, with applications like Screenshot Uploader letting you easily accomplish this task.

Can be used on the go

The application is portable, which means you can easily carry it around on a USB flash drive to use on other computers as well, without worrying that the target PC gets affected, since registries are not a dependency. You do need to create an account for the specific online service, with a link for quick registration, which takes a few seconds.When not used, the application quietly sits in the tray area, and interacting with the corresponding icon brings up the configuration panel to set up trigger and upload settings. For more security, you can add a custom proxy server by providing the address and corresponding login details.

Edit the screenshot, save locally, and online

Screenshots are triggered through hotkeys, with the possibility to modify the existing one. What’s more, you can have the picture saved to a custom location, and uploaded at the same time, with an additional option to copy the location URL to clipboard automatically. However, you need to write down the online service credentials and test connectivity for uploads to work.Pressing the trigger keys doesn’t automatically take a screenshot of the whole desktop, but lets you select a custom region for the snapshot. When this is done, a custom editor shows up, with a few drawing tools to emphasize elements or areas of interest. Needless to say that hitting the upload button sends the picture to specified locations.

To sum it up

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Screenshot Uploader is a neat solution to take screenshots, add necessary details or notes, and save them both online and offline. Although it could have used a better management system for the capture region, it’s easy to overlook this and use the built-in selection tool, deserving a try overall.
