What is Faststone Capture?
FastStone Capture is a freemium program used for creating screenshots, capturing video played on a screen, editing and viewing captured images, converting file formats, applying effects, and adding watermarks, including in automatic mode.
Faststone Capture can be downloaded for free on Windows operating systems in 32-bit or 64-bit versions, and the application works correctly with all the latest versions of the operating system.

- The built-in editor allows for post-processing of images, adding captions, including with the help of callouts of various shapes and sizes.
- The ability to adjust effects for snapshots: shadow, torn or fading edges, frames, blur.
- Obtained screenshots can be sent to the clipboard, directly to third-party applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, attached to emails, or printed directly.
