Beyond simple screen capture, evolving into a communication tool

In the past, to capture the screen, you had to press the 'Print Screen (PrtSc)' key on the keyboard, open Paint, paste (Ctrl+V), and then go through the cumbersome process of cutting out only the desired part and saving it. Although the process has become easier with the introduction of the 'Capture and Sketch' tool built into Windows 10, it still leaves a functional thirst for professionals such as bloggers, planners, and developers who need screen capture as their livelihood.

PicPick is a program that perfectly meets the needs of these professionals and is surprisingly lightweight and free. PickPick is not just a simple capture tool, but is closer to a ‘visual communication tool’ that immediately edits and processes captured images to maximize information delivery.

Overwhelming capture mode and convenience

The true value of PickPick is revealed the moment you open the menu. It supports capture in almost any way you can imagine.

• Automatic Scroll Capture: Captures entire content, such as web pages or long documents, that can only be viewed by scrolling off the monitor screen with a single click. There is no need to take multiple pictures and stitch them together.
• Active window capture: Ignores the desktop or other windows, and accurately cuts and captures only the specific program window (e.g. KakaoTalk chat window, Excel window) that you are currently working on. You can also set whether to include window border shadows.
• Fixed rectangular area capture: When you need to repeatedly capture the same size and location of the screen every time, it is very convenient to specify the horizontal and vertical pixel sizes of the area and capture it like a stamp.

All of these capture functions can be assigned to your own shortcut keys in the program settings, allowing you to instantly capture the screen while working without having to press the program icon.

Intuitive and powerful image editor similar to PowerPoint

After capturing the screen, PickPick's built-in image editor automatically opens. The design of this editor is very similar to the 'Ribbon Menu' of Microsoft Office, so even first-time users can use it right away without a manual.

• Professional-level annotation features: Typing a red square box, drawing an arrow, or entering text on a captured image is extremely smooth and seamless. In particular, the 'stamp (numbering)' function allows you to simply click in order and the numbers 1, 2, and 3 will be stamped neatly in a circle, greatly saving time when writing manuals or tutorial documents.
• Mosaic and Highlight: When capturing the screen, personal information, ID, and password are often exposed. With PickPick, you can blur or mosaic a specific area with just a few clicks, and on the other hand, you can apply a highlight effect to important text like using a highlighter.
• Automatically insert watermark: If you want to prevent images you captured and edited from being copied without permission, specify a watermark image or text in advance in the settings. You can have your blog address or logo automatically imprinted on every image whenever you capture it.

Hidden gems of additional features for designers

In addition to the capture function, PickPick provides small but powerful utilities that web designers and front-end developers will be excited about.

• Color Picker: You can use an eyedropper to pick the exact RGB code or web color code (#HEX) of a pretty color on the screen and copy it right away.
• Ruler and Crosshair: You can accurately measure the size of a specific image on the screen or how many pixels the margin is by floating a virtual ruler on the monitor.

In conclusion, it is safe to say that PickPick is one of the top utilities that must be installed on your computer. When reporting an error screen to your boss or guiding a customer on how to use a program, use PickPick to add neat arrows and explanatory text. Your work sense will stand out even more.
