Free Screen Capture Tool

DuckCapture: simple and ease-to-use screen capture tool

DuckCapture comes with four capture modes that make screen capture easy! Capture a window on your screen, region of your screen, or the contents of a tall web page that scrolls. You can easily edit, and share a screenshot. Don’t waste time cropping your captures. DuckCapture is exactly what you need.

4 Capture Modes: Window, Region, Scrolling and Full Screen

Capture a Window

Get just the window, not the stuff behind or around it.

Capture a Region

Draw a box on the screen and capture whatever is inside.

Capture a Tall Web Page
(Windows Only, Mac OS Coming Soon)

Can’t fit it on the screen? DuckCapture auto-scrolls the web page or window and grabs it all!
