Windows only: Zscreen is one of a long line of screenshot tools we’ve checked out at Lifehacker HQ, but it’s got a few unique features that set it apart. First off, it’s an open-source project, helmed up mainly by one programmer. More important to most, however, is its flexibility in working with other screenshot and image tools, both through its configurable hot keys (working Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys to good effect) and being able to send screenshots to an FTP server, the clipboard, a custom-named file, or any other image program you’ve got. If you’re pushing your screens to a file, you can set its JPEG capabilities to scale—after a pic is 100K, for example, you tell ZScreen to scale its quality down to 80 percent. ZScreen lacks the features that blog publishers might want baked-in, like annotation and highlighting, but for straight-up grab-and-edit, it’s hard to beat. ZScreen is a free download for Windows systems only
