## Lightshot Reviews
  ### 1. Lightshot makes it easy to capture screenshots

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

Lightshot is very easy to install and to understand. It is very user friendly.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

I don't see any downsides to using Lightshot, it always works, and does what it advertises.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

It's very easy to install and use in your browser. Highly recommended as a free solution.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lightshot allows me to quickly and easily grab a screenshot of any webpage I am looking at, but also anything which I have on my screen from any app that I happen to be using, even when I am watching videos. Once installed, I just have to click on Print Screen and it takes over my screen. I can then select what I want to highlight and save the screenshot.

  ### 2. Quick and easy screenshots

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael P. | Special Projects, Telecommunications, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2021

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

I don't like that it only works in my browser.

  ### 3. Free software, lightweight, compatible with most mobile devices and very easy to use.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Barbara B. | Biologist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

The main quality of Lightshot that I love is that it does not interfere at all with the operation of my PC, I have tried similar tools and it directly affects the operation of my computer, however with Lightshot this does not happen to me, it is a super light tool, it only weighs 2.6MB and the best thing is that it works as an extension in the search engine.

If we talk about browsers because it is compatible with Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, which are the main browsers, it is really useful, especially when you work with Windows that has not yet included a screen capture program within the system. 

Another thing that fascinates me and that I cannot fail to mention about Lightshot is that as a tool it is very complete because I don't see the need to install an additional program for image editing. Lightshot has its own image editor and the best thing is that it has direct storage in the cloud, both for the captures that you make daily and for the images that you decide to edit.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

It is the best tool in its style that I have used, honestly there is nothing I don't like, in my opinion it is perfect, I wouldn't modify it at all and I am not unhappy with any of its aspects.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

I would recommend Lightshot for absolutely everything it stands for, it's an excellent tool that if you work with Windows you can't imagine how invaluable it becomes. Lightshot is safe, fast, reliable, and very lightweight.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lightshot is essential in my work and this specific tool has helped me a lot. It has helped me in my research and informative work. Thanks to Lightshot it is very easy to take screenshots and edit them online based on the infographics I want to create.  It is also very easy to gather information by means of screen captures. I can say that this tool has helped me to simplify my time, which is my most important asset.

  ### 8. Lightshot Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mathew T. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2020

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

Lightshot is a very good screenshot software that is available for free. It's lightweight and quite easy to use. Upon clicking the icon for it on the system tray or by pressing the hotkeys, you can take a screenshot of any area of your screen quickly. After capturing, Lightshot presents you with tools to make small edits such as inserting shapes, drawing lines or markers, adding text, etc. Then, you can upload the screenshot directly on Lightshot's own image hosting platform from where you can edit your screenshot if needed with an image editor that functions similar to MS Paint. After the uploading is done, you can send the URL which is shortened for ease of sharing and send it to anyone you want. If you don't want to upload the image, you're also given the choice to save the screenshot in your desktop.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

Lightshot doesn't have a graphical interface that you can see. When you open the software, it starts minimized in the tray and clicking on it will promt you to take a screenshot. There's no way to look at all the screenshots you've taken and saved or uploaded. This makes it difficult to find older screenshots that you may have lost the URL to if you didn't save it on your computer. 

Since Lightshot is a free and completed project, it has no support from the developers team and if you run into any issues, there's no way to resolve them.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

I recommend Lightshot if you're looking for a free and simple screenshot software. It has some flaws in not being able to keep a history of your screenshots, but if you're able to do that manually, you'll be quite satisfied with Lightshot's performance.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Lightshot quite often to take screenshots for work. While working from home, sometimes having to start a video call just to share screens for a quick moment can be a bit of a hassle. In such cases, I'm able to take a screenshot with Lightshot and share it with my coworkers after which we discuss and see where the error is originating from and how to debug it. Having a helpful tool like Lightshot to take a quick screenshot instead of going through the process of screen sharing saves us plenty of time.

**Reviewed by:** Miguel R. |  Author, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This app is simple and to the point. I use this app every single day to collaborate with other artists and clearly communicate what changes I need with overlays and written instructions without havving to use more than one app.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

It's a little too easy to accidentially share your screenshot on social media while you're learning the ropes.

I use to have to take a screen shot and then mark it up on the Apple preview app before submitting it, which is both time consuming and frustrating.

Once you open LightShot, you can take a screenshot. You just draw a frame over the area you need. You can automatically read the dimensions in the top left corner.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nikhil J. | Senior Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

Lightshot is easy to use and can take screenshots very quickly. You can take a snap of any portion of or the entire screen of your computer. Once you capture, you can either save the image locally or upload it online for sharing. You also have the liberty to edit the screenshot through the image editor available after uploading.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

Lightshot gets no support or updates. It only has screenshot as the available capture and likely won't support other forms of capture anytime soon.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

Lightshot at its core is an excellent screenshot tool, but despite free it is quite limited as you can only take screenshots and nothing beyond that. If that serves your purpose, go for it as it is still worth a try.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Lightshot regularly to take and upload screenshots due to how lightweight the software is. It functions much faster than any other screenshot software I've ever used. Lightshot allows me to easily share images with colleagues to provide more insight on the situation when I've run into a problem at work when dealing with large lines of code.

  ### 29. Lightshot

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Noelle W. | Customer Service Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

I've been using Lightshot for over a year now, and the great advantage of this program is that it's entirely free for Windows/Mac OS owners. The LightShot interface is very simple and intuitive. The program does not overload the computer in any way and is invisible to the user during background operation. Lightshot allows you to modify the screenshot you create or to select the area you want to capture in the area you save. Lightshot is also available as a plugin for the most popular browsers.


**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

I haven't noticed any flaws or shortcomings in the LigtShot program. Some users may not like the appearance of the UI program.


**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

I recommend the Ligtshot program to all users looking for an alternative to the system's snapshot saving function.

  ### 30. Complete tool for quick screenshots

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Antonio R. | Senior Auditorin, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

This tool allows us to take screenshots of our computer screen with just a touch of the tool's icon. We can perform various functions such as saving, sending, uploading to prntscr.com, printing, copying, and selecting the full screen. These images can be edited after capture with the options provided by the application designed for this purpose. They can be shared on social networks and similar images to the captured one can be searched on Google. It allows us, through its dropdown menu when capturing the image, to save it on our hard drive in JPG, PNG, or BMP formats, copy it to the clipboard, or automatically select the full screen.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

We have to be clear that despite everything it offers, this comes to be a capturer that does not have too many configuration options. And secondly, if we want to use the editor, it is necessary that we are connected to the Internet, because otherwise it will be inaccessible. We have to keep in mind that we will give access to it by pressing the Print Screen key. By pressing this key, we will initiate its functionality, leaving the main capture option under this key deactivated.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

Allows you to take a customizable screenshot in an easy and quick way. This tool can be used on operating systems like Windows and Mac.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us, through its dropdown menu, to save the captured image to our hard drive in JPG, PNG, or BMP formats, copy it to the clipboard, or automatically select full screen. Lightshot, therefore, becomes another option for Windows users when taking screenshots, but it also offers a series of services that can be very useful for many users. This tool helps me a lot when I work on financial statements and need to capture their structure so that others can see how things are going.

  ### 34. Fantastic Screenshot Software!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Venk K. | Software Developer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

Lightshot was the first ever screenshot software I'd ever used, and I absolutely like how easy it is to run and snap screenshots with. I like how it has a built-in uploading feature that uploads any screenshot you take to make it more convenient for you to share with anyone. Once uploaded, you also have the option to edit the image in any manner you wish.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

I don't really dislike anything about Lightshot for the most part, but there are times when uploading screenshots will fail or take a really long time to the point where you'll want to consider manually uploading it yourself on image hosting websites.

Lightshot itself has no GUI for one to work with. When you open it, it'll just appear in the tray. I think having a simple interface would be nice for people who aren't tech savvy.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

If you're looking for a simple screenshot program with no other additional features such as recording video, then Lightshot is the best one for you. I've been using it for over seven years and I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the software. It's also free, so I'd highly recommend it.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having Lightshot has definitely made the process of taking screenshots and sharing them with people easier as opposed to the manual way of uploading them on your own. I use Lightshot on a daily basis to take screenshots of certain windows, texts, memes, images, comments, or other important things that I will want to look into in the future.

  ### 45. Great tool to capture and annotate screenshots

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ajit J. | Dietitian, Nutritionists , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Lightshot?**

Lightshot takes the process of capturing screenshot to a whole new level. with Lightshot i can take screenshots, annotate and upload it to the cloud within a matter of just a few seconds, With out this tool i would take me three separate tools to do the same. Several times when having a text conversation with a client or remote employee/freelancer, sometimes you have to show them screenshots of an app, website, etc.. for them to better understand things. 

With Lightshot you can do this so easily, you can not only take screenshots but quickly add text, annotations, highlight parts of your screenshot and upload the screenshot to the web or save it to a file in one single click. If you do the same process without lightshot it will probably take you several mins and you'll have to use multiple tools to do the same but with lightshot its all available in once single utility.

**What do you dislike about Lightshot?**

There are a few small features they are missing, like you cannot draw a filled rectangle in light shot only a bordered rectangle, also you can't change font size or anything else in regards to font. You only have 1 basic font with no scope for customization.

**Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:**

Definitely the best solution to take and annotate screenshots on Windows OS, try it out.

**What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Since the first time i used light till today i've been a big fan of it. Its a hundred times better than the default windows screenshot function that only allows you to capture a full screen screenshot with no scope for customization. with light i can capture, edit, upload screenshot to the web and i can do all this with just a minute. Lightshot is just perfect.
