Snapshooter : Automatically take screenshots at a custom time interval, save the images to a preferred location, output files to PNG, BMP, JPG, or GIF file format, and set up file naming rules
Snapshooter is a small software application whose purpose is to help you take screenshots at a user-defined time interval. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.
Clean and simple looks
You are welcomed by an intuitive configuration panel. All dedicated parameters are embedded into a single window so they are very easy to reach. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can manage to tweak the settings on your own because they look easy to decode.
Take screenshots
Snapshooter gives you the possibility to specify the directory where the snapshots are stored. The application is able to capture only the entire screen so it does not come with support for window, object, and user-defined region mode.What’s more, you can make the program automatically take screenshots at a user-defined time in hours. In addition, you can activate the automatic snapping mode when the utility is opened, pick the preferred output format (PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF), as well as set up file naming rules by specifying the prefix and postfix.Snapshooter can also be controlled via the system tray. You may set the snap time by choosing between several preset time values (every 30 minutes, every week, once a day, once an hour) and start or stop the capture process.Aside from automatic actions, you are allowed to manually take a screenshot of the full screen. Tests have shown that Snapshooter carries out a task quickly and provides very good output results. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. You can keep it running in the background.
Final remarks
All things considered, Snapshooter has to offer basic features for helping you set up automatic actions for capturing the entire screen to an image, and is suitable especially for rookies. Advanced options are not on the feature list. You cannot assign hotkeys, embed text/image watermarks, and edit the images using a pen, marker, arrow, and eraser, just to highlight some professional parameters.
