In the past I've tried different methods from PrintScreen key to Lightshot extension in the browser. Tho, in first way I ended up using image editor to crop, in second - I was limited to browser only.
Since I'm on Win10, lately I use Win+Shift+S shortcut, select the area and image gets saved in Clipboard. If that's enough, I paste it and done. If not - I use PasteIntoFile to create a local image file without any image editor.
Any other methods you would recommend to try, considering quickness, ease of use and image accessibility after the capture?

When I had windows, I used GreenShot. I'm not sure if it's still around though. An important feature is (imo) to quickly upload to imgur or alike. Often I do screenshots to show something to another person.
Nowadays I often see gyazo links, but I don't know it first-hand.
GreenShot still is around and maintained.
Imgur is my go-to service for quick img share, as well :)
I second greenshot, the quick built in editor is a game changer especially if you need to blur out any sensitivity info on the fly. Lightweight and easy to use, itβs one of the first things I install on any new windows pc.
+1 for Greenshot
+1 , I use it also , what I like about it it's that he freeze the image so you can capture hover effect .
If u don't care for hover try the built-in snipping tools , just search for snipping tools in windows search.
I use greenshot as well. I set it up to save to a directory and copy to the clipboard automatically, and not open up the editor.
I use this app. It is ready to use if you are using Windows 10

On Windows, I use Sharex.
On ubuntu, I use Flameshot.
I can't live without ShareX - it's the most powerful, useful screenshot tool I've ever seen, and I've customized my config since about 2016 and I get the most pixel-perfect screenshots I could want!
I'm a penetration tester so I need to mark up my screenshots with arrows/text/etc. Snagit is the best for that.
If you just need to take a screenshot of your browser, there's one built into Firefox these days.
For Linux the best is Flameshot.
Flameshot is my favorite. I tried so many. I wish it was usable on other OS's
If it wasn't for the fact that Snagit licenses are not subscription-based, I would probably not use it at all for flameshot. Snagit is definitely a cleaner image markup tool but flameshot gets me 80% of what I need.
I use the simple snipping Tool from Windows and as a recording Tool to repdoruce steps I use the gifscreenrecorder tool
If you are on Windows just use the Snipping tool to screenshot a certain section of something, or Print Scrn for a fullscreen shot and then paste it into Paint.
Nimbus Screenshot is also worth trying. It covers all developer needs.
For Linux, I used to love the Deepin Screen Capture app, but recently moved to FlameShot (flameshot.js.org). Just great :D
On Mac, I use command + shift + 3 / command + shift + 4.
On Windows, I use Snipaste.
Just the regular Screenshot app on my GNOME workstation. It does the job. Peek for recording an action.
MacOS:
CMD + SHIFT + 4Windows 10 has "snip and sketch" built in. Previously known as "snipping tool". It allows you to capture the screen, a window, or an arbitrary rectangle.
Just hit the windows key and type "snip".
On windows, I use
WINSHIFTSwhich is really useful because you have a different tools for screenshots, for example:And I use
WINGto capture videos, if you have Xbox game bar is really useful.You can even bind PrintScreen key in Settings to automatically open the Win+Shift+S snipping tool π
If its in a browser tab, I use firefox's dev tools, it has built-in screenshot capture. For everything else, i use greenshot
