Grabbing images directly from the desktop is a very frequent operation among people who are engaged in software development and reviewing.
The tool can grab three different types of areas, including free rectangular selections, Windows snips and full-screen captures. However, it does not support free-form screenshots. Once a shot has been taken, it can be saved as an image file (JPG, PNG and BMP), copied to the clipboard or opened in Paint for editing. Although this tool can respond to standard key combinations, such as Shift + PrtSc and Ctrl + PrtS, it does not allow you to customize keyboard shortcuts.
In general, SnapMyScreen is definitely not one of the most feature-rich applications of its kind. If there is one thing to say is that it is extremely easy to use. Besides, it has the advantage of being transparent, which means that the application’s window does not appear in the screenshots. To conclude, I have to admit that I really liked this program in spite of the fact that it does not really have much to offer.

Been using Snapmyscreen since 2018 and all of a sudden it was gone! This is one of my most used extensions. I haven't found another I like as well. Trying to re-download but it is very confusing. Please help! I miss it!
Very easy to use and saves me a lot of time.
Love SnapMyScreen, but Microsoft keeps removing it & won´t let me re-install :-(
