While it is true that Windows operating systems have their tools when taking screenshots, we cannot lose sight of the fact that these types of solutions are limited and helpful in a few cases. Then we need other programs to edit them, record the movements on the screen, etc. For this reason, it is often advisable to resort to a third-party program.

On this particular occasion, we want to review one of the best in this field, IceCream Screen Recorder, which will allow you to carry out these tasks quickly and simply without depending on other complementary software.

Operation

As we explained, IceCream Screen Recorder is a multipurpose platform, thanks to which we can take traditional screenshots and many other tasks, such as screen recordings of everything that happens on them. This procedure can be extremely interesting for those users who want to record tutorials to show others what to do on their computers.

In addition, we have to add that all the screenshots that can be taken are entirely customizable since we will be able to select if we want to capture the whole screen, just a part of it, etc. To such an extent, it is possible to modify this that we even have the chance to draw on top of the screen, something that you will appreciate in case you want to capture a particular object in a photograph.

And once you have created the new image from the capture, you will be able to edit it within this software, forgetting about having to download others since it has many options to customize it in real-time. Some of them have to do with annotations and watermarks, which will ensure that if you upload the files to social networks or other sites on the Internet, no one will be able to steal them.

Let's move on to the video recording service of IceCream Screen Recorder. We can say that it is a system compatible with any program we are running, whether it is a video game, an office suite, a multimedia player, a browser, etc. Even if you want to record your videoconferences to review them later, you will be able to do so.

These recordings are stored in a kind of history, so you can access them whenever you want without wasting time looking for them in your PC folders. And needless to say, you can control almost every aspect of the recordings while they are being made thanks to keyboard shortcuts, so there are no interruptions in the middle of the videos.

As in the case of screenshots, the screen recordings do not necessarily have to take the entirety of what we see, but we can define a particular area that is of interest to us. Unfortunately, we do not have many format variants for storing the contents on our computers.

To take into account.

Although we have previously been talking about the free version of IceCream Screen Recorder, we can't lose sight of the fact that there is also a paid version that adds many more features, ideal for those looking for professional results. While we are sure that the primary alternative will be enough for most people, you can continually improve your user experience.

As far as the user interface of this program is concerned, we liked it a lot since moving between its menus is very simple, with each of the tools available through a well-designed organization. Moreover, during screenshots or screen recordings, its tools do not bother us, which is something we appreciate.

The best

One of the main positive aspects of this application is that it performs most of the tasks we can expect from a modern program in this segment. We are referring to the fact that it can customize screenshots and screen recordings. We can even share the generated content online without having to leave if we want to.

The Worst

Among the aspects that have not convinced us of this platform, it is possible to talk about some factors, such as the fact that you can not choose the quality and especially the format of the recorded files, as well as not having a slowdown, something that although it is a detail, we would have liked to see.

Rating

IceCream Screen Recorder is undoubtedly one of the best current tools for those thinking of a screen capture system and a screen recording system for tutorials. And if its free version is already recommendable, needless to say, the other one makes it a must for the most demanding users.
