What users say
Greenshot
"Free easy Windows stills tool; not a recording suite and years behind ShareX as a power tool."
Pros
Free and very easy to use screenshot app I switched to GreenShot, which is free and open source
OBS Studio
"Free cross-platform screencaster; crash and lag reports pull UX down."
Pros
ShareX and OBS are free and open-source Works really well
