Neoshooter

Neoshooter is a software tool which allows you to easily take snapshots of your screen, with just a click of the button.

Seamless setup and clean GUI

The installation process you are required to go through does not take longer than a few minutes, and after completing it, the utility will automatically place itself in the system tray, so as not to become obtrusive or annoying.
The interface is quite intuitive and simple-to-handle, for all types of users, including those less experienced with the IT world.

Set up a timer, choose output format and location

From the settings panel it is possible to set up Neoshooter to always preview the last image, include the mouse cursor and the Start menu, display balloons, hide the tray icon, as well as use the timer for a specific number of seconds.
Additionally, you can set the tray icon double-click action (e.g. take a screenshot of the active window using the timer, preview the last screenshot), as well as the output destination and extension (PNG, JPG or BMP).

Automatically change image size and adjust picture quality

You can define the filename format, add a date and time stamp, and send it to a specific application. Plus, you can set Neoshooter to automatically resize images, by specifying the width and height.
Furthermore, you can enable the option to create thumbnails (by inputting the width, height and file type) and configure settings for the PNG compression and JPEG quality (by adjusting a slider).

Performance and conclusion

The program uses a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, yet does not include any kind of user documentation, and sometimes pops an error (when using the “Take Active Window Screenshot (With Timer)” option).
All in all, Neoshooter does not necessarily bring anything new to the table. It simply speeds up the “PrintScreen” method which is already offered by Windows (instead of initializing an app to paste the screenshot, the utility automatically displays the output in a given location and format).
