A quick screen image is useful for an error message or a short explanation. Before sharing, check what else is in view, such as account names, notifications or other windows. Choose a storage location where you will find the recording later.

An image shows one moment and does not automatically contain the steps that preceded it. In a support question, therefore, add a short description of the action. Save the original image if you need another cut later.

Our verdict

TPUCapture fits if you're looking for a simple fixed shortcut and area selection. First compare the Windows snip program, which is enough for many recordings. Use local storage if you don't need hosting. Check the recording for notifications and account details before using an upload function.
