"Decent Program but Dead Development"
3/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

Easy to use and fairly powerful, much better than any built-in screenshot software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

As of this review, the software hasn't received a release update since Sept 2017. There are other, free, and actively maintained programs available with even more features. Green shot was great, but I don't think anyone should start fresh using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Greenshot is one of the best tools to work with screenshots and images."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

The best thing I like about Greenshot is, it's editing features which are similar to Microsoft Paint, but when compared to Microsoft Paint, Greenshot is light weight, it consumes very less space in your system. In Greenshot image editor we can directly export the images to Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, OneNote, Outlook etc. Also we can upload the images directly to Confluence or Jira directly from the image editor screen itself. It's capabilities like Obfuscate, Highlight, Resize, Crop, drawing rectangle, ellipse what not it has everything that is required for editing the screenshots as well as any other images for business needs. The installation is also very easy. We use Greenshot in our VDI base image, as it takes very less space, which is ideal for VDIs and any virtual desktop environments. In environments where Light weight applications are preferred, Greenshot plays a crucial role. Also Greenshot is a perfect replacement for Windows Photos viewer application.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

One thing that I dislike is it doesn't have any UI when opened directly, it will just run in background, we need to right click on any image and select open with Greenshot Image Editor to get the GUI and all options, that is also fine considering the size of the application. Apart from that there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
