Have you read Free Shooter and thought it is a first-person shooter game in which we move through a free world? Nothing like that, but we are in the presence of one of the many tools that have been specially developed to improve the original experience that we can have in Windows environments, in this case, regarding the creation of screenshots.

In effect, beyond the confusion that its denomination can generate in the first instance, the truth is that Free Shooter is a tool that will allow us to take screenshots fast and straightforwardly without having to do too much for it. And like any good service in this field, it is possible to take screenshots of the entire screen, but you can also focus only on the part of it.

How it works

To put it another way, Free Shooter will allow you to take a screenshot of everything you see on your computer monitor at that moment but also delimit the capture if you do not want the entire screen to be photographed. This is highly convenient because, in this way, there is no need, as with other applications, to trim the screenshots.

In addition, we know that users who want to take a screenshot are often left with the doubt that the screenshot has been taken, and then they have to waste time opening other programs to paste them. Thanks to Free Shooter, which ends forever, considering that we can set a minimum sound that will be played at the time of capture to be sure that it has been saved.

Even you have to consider that these aspects that make the general configuration of Free Shooter are elementary to modify, so you only have to open the program icon that is added to the Taskbar of Windows. When you have done it, you will find this tool's scarce interface, allowing you to modify some aspects and customize others, such as the ones we described.

Another aspect of Free Shooter that we liked, especially considering that some software developed for creating screenshots can be a bit invasive, has to do with its somewhat transparent interface. In this way, when we take screenshots, we always see the contents in question, so it is easy to know where to delimit it.

We mentioned earlier in passing what concerns the design of Free Shooter, and the first thing that comes to mind when we think of it is that it goes almost unnoticed, considering that nearly all the time, it works in the background. And when we open its configuration sections, we quickly realize why it is a perfect utility for beginners, and that is because it only has a couple of sections to customize, nothing more than that.

Free Shooter has up to five image formats to store on our computer, more than other free programs in the segment. What formats do we have available, then? The following: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.

Keep in mind

The people in charge of Free Shooter also explain that it is a system that has support for all Windows computers and monitors that we can use at home, so you have nothing to worry about. As it does not have more options than the essential ones and hardly consumes system resources, we will hardly notice that it is active in the background.

The best

What we liked most about Free Shooter is, by far, how easy it is to take screenshots with this tool, and it is enough that you select the key on the keyboard with which they will be produced and start generating screenshots whenever you want. Of course, it is also interesting that it offers up to five formats to store them, while others do not go beyond the classic JPG and PNG.

The worst

In the first approach to Free Shooter, we are sure that some users will consider it a utility with few options for customizing the captures, although it is clear that this was not the goal of its creators. In any case, we can say that we would have liked to find some small editing tool for the screenshots already taken, something that is sadly conspicuous by its absence.

Rating

If we had to recommend a simple screen capture service for an older person or a younger child who doesn't want to complicate their life, we couldn't think of many better alternatives than Free Shooter. And it has what we can expect from a software of this type but with a simplicity that we would like to see in other places.
