PicPick combines screen shots with an image editor and tools such as a color picker. You can capture a window, area or other supported recording form and then add an explanation. That's useful for instructions and reporting a problem.

The free version is for personal use and has different conditions than the business offer. Also check which automatic update and support features belong to your edition. A screenshot may contain unintentional account names or notifications.

For screenshots, shortcuts, markings and the destination of the image are important differences. See if you only want to capture a region or also need scrolling pages and automatic actions. An automatic upload can share sensitive screen content; therefore, check your set storage target.

Our verdict

PicPick is especially useful if you almost always provide a screenshot with explanations. You do not have to open a separate editor after each recording. Arrows, text and cutouts give you enough tools to show a problem or action clearly to someone.

Just look at the license and your fixed recording forms. For example, test a scrolling window before counting on it for a long manual. For incidental capture of one image, the Windows tool may be sufficient. If you often create instructional images, the combination of recording and editing can make your method more transparent.
