We have covered quite a few Screen Capture utilities on this blog and each one had its own unique features. Cropper is another free and useful screen capture utility for Windows. It makes it fast and easy to grab any part of your screen. You can use it to easily crop out sections of vector graphic files such as Fireworks without having to flatten the files or open in a new editor.It can also be used to easily capture parts of a web site, including text and images. It’s also great for writing documentation that needs images of your application or web site.
The output is available in JPEG, BMP and PNG formats. There is an extensibility model allowing developers to create custom output plug-ins.
