Quick screen capture for Windows

PrtScr by Firestarter is a Windows screen capture utility that gives the standard Print Screen action a more interactive capture process. It is aimed at users who want a quicker way to capture and handle screen content while keeping access familiar through keyboard controls and a compact desktop utility.

Capture options, hotkeys, and annotations

PrtScr can capture the entire screen, the active window, a rectangular selection, or an irregular area drawn freehand with the mouse. It supports multiple monitors and can include the mouse cursor when needed. Captures can be started through the Print Screen key, Ctrl+Prt Scr, or a custom hotkey, and users can draw annotations over the selected area before completing the screenshot.

Saving, sharing, and exporting captured images

After a screenshot is taken, PrtScr can save it directly to the desktop or another file location, send it by email, print it, copy it to the clipboard, or pass it to an image-editing application.

It supports JPG, BMP, and PNG output, including transparent or opaque PNG files, and can rescale an image before export. The app can also prefill capture titles and comments using the active window title and browser URL, while more extensive image editing is handled through a separate editor.

A capable screen capture tool for everyday use

PrtScr is a capable choice for routine screenshot use on Windows, particularly for people who take screen captures regularly and prefer a dedicated utility for the task. Its scope stays centered on everyday screenshot work, making it suitable for users who value direct access and a consistent capture experience.
