LP-Screenshot

LP-Screenshot is a lightweight graphic capture utility able to take screenshots and automatically save the captured images to a file on your computer.

Minimalist GUI

You are welcomed by a small panel that includes all dedicated parameters in the main window. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can easily get an idea about how the program works because the setup options look easy to decode.

Configuration settings

LP-Screenshot gives you the possibility to make use of preset hotkeys in order to trigger the screen capture mode. You are allowed to press the ‘PrtScn’ button in order to capture a screenshot of the entire screen, and employ the ‘PrtScn’ and ‘Alt’ key combination for taking a screenshot of the active window.
What’s more, you can launch the application at Windows startup, select the folder where the screenshots are stored, open the saving directory directly from the main window, set the output file format (JPEG or BMP), and automatically open the screenshots after saving them to the disk.
Tests have pointed out that LP-Screenshot carries out a task quickly and without errors. It delivers very good output results. It is friendly with system resources so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it burdens the overall performance of the computer.

Bottom line

To sum things up, LP-Screenshot has to offer nothing more than a simplistic software solution for helping you take screenshots, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. Professionals may be disappointed by the program’s lack of advanced functions.
You cannot capture a user-defined region of the screen and object, edit photos using a pen, marker, lines, and arrows, embed text/image watermarks, apply special effects, reassign hotkeys, include/exclude mouse cursor in/from snapshots, insert custom text notes, add shadow effects, and crop photos, just to name a few options.
