Greenshot – A Free Open Source Screenshot Tool for Windows

Greenshot is yet another recently released free screenshot tool for windows.

Key features of the Greenshot software include:

• Capture the entire or part of the screen
• Create annotations and highlights
• Save as a file, send to clipboard, or e-mail the captured file

In other words, this software is not much different than other screencap programs that we’ve reviewed. However, Greenshot has one thing that other applications do not – its’ source is released under the open GPL license meaning that this software can be used in a commercial application. Not bad for those that want to include good screen capture/annotation functionality in their custom software.

Greenshot is available for free at www.getgreenshot.org.
