You can take an exact image of your monitor with the possibilities provided by your operating system. It starts to become a bit more difficult when you want to save certain sections as image files using another program. With free and fee-based screenshot tools, and plugins from third-party providers, you have more freedom to create screenshots.
These programs often offer numerous features that are very convenient, but aren’t available in in-house applications. Depending on the tool you use, for example, you can edit images extensively, take screenshots of movies or games, take pictures of computer systems equipped with multiple monitors, or directly display areas of a website that you would normally have to scroll down to make visible. Some applications also have direct upload options for file hosts such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
