Many a times we look for only a particular portion of the image or webpage. Then downloading the whole image or webpage will not work. So how do we accomplish this? Screen capture software can help in this regard. The biggest advantage of screen capture is saving time and effort.

We can do the same work with Windows’s inbuilt OS feature called “Paint”. You need to open the picture in paint, select the portion you need, copy/cut that portion, paste that section in a new window and finally save it. You are done but is it not long? Yes, I Know. It is here screen capture software does the trick. And what if I show you some free screen capture software!
