"Best Screenshot App - Period"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

It is an extremely lightweight app. It only takes up around 4.70MB on your hard drive. It is unobtrusive, meaning, it runs in the background when you need it, and does not reveal itself otherwise. Some other apps constantly popup reminders to use their software. The obfuscate option is probably it's most powerful tool. Rather than having to get out GIMP or Adobe Photoshop, I can use this app to obfuscate sensitive information that I am going to be sharing with others.

Best of all, it stands the test of time. Customizable keyboard commands to pull up the screenshot mode is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

I think the interface could be modernized a bit, but then again, this is a freeware app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I LOVE this application"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

This has made my life so much easier ever since I transitioned to a corporate workplace. It makes it a breeze to document, write work instructions or show how-to's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

To be honest, I can't think of anything. It would be nice if they had some decorative border snipping like some of the other similar apps have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Screenshot Software Available"

What do you like best about Greenshot?

I love the fact that you can not only snip a image, but can also add annotations. This is great for creating documentation or "how to's." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

I wish I could make a GIF out of the snips I've taken, but otherwise the product is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I install Greenshot on everything!"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

Greenshot makes taking and sharing screenshots a breeze! I love how you can quickly send your screenshot to imgur and share it anywhere. You don't even have to have an account. Greenshot keeps record of all the shots you've sent to imgur and you can delete them if you wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

It would be nice if it had an account option. If you uninstall it, you will lose access to all your imgur uploads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Annotate, highlight, point and share Screenshots easily"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

Greenshot not only manages screenshots, it also allows you to edit and annotate them. The great advantage of the software is that it was designed for the use of those who need to annotate, highlight, point and explain photos and screenshots and does it very well.

Each tool is already readily configured for what is needed when annotating an image, the highlighting tool already has the necessary transparency, the arrows are easily accessible and the text boxes already slightly blur the background to become legible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

The icons are small and have a blurred effect that makes them almost unreadable if they are increased in size in the settings. Although the interface is simple, it works well in all other aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great program for screenshots"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenshot?

It does screenshots and saves them in a folder with the format I want and that format can be easily changeable with any pattern needed using regular expressions. So when I'm saving screenshots that detail the network configuration of a site it can be named as {date}_{client}_{device}_{number} and saved in the format I need, usually jpg to save space. On top of that I can use this on every Windows machine without needing a License or login in into an account and easily configure a custom key to take screenshots, sometimes I use this inside a VM or into a remote server to keep the screenshot files where they are supposed to be inside the machine for future reference and using greenshot directly on the target machine is an step that saves me a lot of headache. Since no file transfer is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?

I run Greenshot without admin rights to avoid any possible security issue and if the target window has admin rights it will not take the screenshot unless I click somewhere else first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
