best open source (freeware) screen capture utility?

If you have firefox:

or

URL2BMP

thank you.

For Windows,

Take a look at Cropper

And you can get the gif plugin for this tool at

How about CTRL+PrintScreen. You can paste the capture in Paint, Photoshop, or any photo editing software. Crop it the way you want and save it. If you want just a screenshot of an individual window use ALT+PrintScreen. Why install extra programs when you already have the tools on your computer?

The 2 tools I posted above will capture long screens – url2bmp will capture a screen 5000px (or more) long for instance – whereas PrtSc just grabs the visible window.

ok I gotcha now. Thanks Podz

This probably is very old thread. But I was searching for open source screen capture and google linked me to here.

so thought i’ll throw in my 2-cents of what I’ve found:
