The free build leaves out a lot of functionality, though, and there are more powerful freeware capture tools around. ScreenHunter gives you the screen capture and desktop-recording basics, and is well implemented (a magnifier helps you precisely position your capture rectangle, for instance).

These options aren't available in the Free build, but they are at least greyed out, so you're not constantly clicking something and being told 'no, you can't do that'. The full commercial version also has an editor for immediate image tweaking, and can send captures to the printer or via email. You can optionally turn off image saving for screenshots and simply copy the capture to the clipboard. The capture is automatically saved as an MP4 or your choice of image format (JPG, PNG, BMP or a single GIF- not animated). If that seems a little basic, it's because the best features have been reserved for the commercial builds: capturing fixed areas, freehand shapes, auto-scrolling, applying custom captions or watermarks, running scheduled captures, or automatically capturing images at regular intervals (ie 'every 20 seconds for 15 minutes'). Compared to alternatives, the design of the interface feels outdated and too simplistic. Record apps and webinars, Zoom meetings and Whatsapp calls, video tutorials, live streams and more. The freeware is easy to use and has some basic features, but there is a limit on the number of minutes the recording can be made.

The program supports capturing rectangular areas or the full screen. Screen Hunter is a free software for screen capture in video or image format, and it serves its purpose really well. ScreenHunter Free is a simple screen capture and desktop recording application.
