"Very basic, but so convenient and easy to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Lightshot?

It's a really handy, super convenient screenshotting app. One of the best parts is that it launches by pressing the "prt sc" button right on your keyboard - I switched to it from another app just due to this quick convenience. After you capture your screenshot, it then has easy buttons for saving, editing, printing, sharing to social media, and uploading to an image sharing site. It really doesn't get any quicker or easier, especially for someone who has to take and save or upload a lot of screenshots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

The user interface and design are a bit old-fashioned, they could be sleeker and more modern. Also, image upload can be a bit slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't be put off by the outdated-looking interface - it does actually have all the robust features you need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I need to take a lot of screenshots for my freelance projects as proof of project completion, and this app allows me to do that very smoothly and quickly, and makes saving and sharing them very easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
