Screen Capture Software

What're some good ones to use? Especially if it's outside of an APP like for the desktop and stuff.

Print Screen.

Since I'm pretty sure you just completely miss named your question, I use Irfanview to paste my screen shots. It is an extremely lightweight program and you don't need anything fancy just to paste screenshots and save them.

There is a crop feature in it that I love. You just remove part of the image depending of what you want to do.

chaos, are you aware of win+shift+s?

Windows has it's own tool.
It's called "Snipping Tool"

He asked for good ones though.

ShareX is good. It's free, open source and has nice features like automation. For example you can make it OCR the screenshot and save the result to clipboard as text.

I always used the Window's one for websites and programs. In games, I tend to use the Steam's system.

Are you talking about capturing videos or screenshots? For videos just use your gpu software, both AMD and NVIDIA have their own video recorder and yes it can be used outside of games.

Are we talking screen capture as in a one frame screen shot or video?

For screenshots, lightshot is awesome. Convinced people at my work to get it. Can easily crop, write text, draw basic shames on top of the frame you hit prntscr on.

As for videos, I do the barebones geforce overlay, win + g, record feature.

Even Game Bar has these options. Not really recommending it but it's already baked into Windows.
