Screen Thief Description

Screen Thief is a small-sized and portable software application designed to grab the full screen or just a partial area, and save it to BMP format. It does not comprise complicated options or configuration settings, so it can be handled by all types of users, including beginners. Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file in any place on the hard disk and just click it to run. There is also the possibility of saving Screen Thief to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort and no prior installers. What's worth keeping in mind is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the hard disk without your consent, leaving the HDD clean after removal. The interface is represented by a normal window with a plain and uncomplicated structure, where you can select an area to capture partial screen, or click a button to grab it entirely. Once the output file name and destination are set, you can save the picture to file. There are no other notable options worth mentioning here. Unfortunately, we have come across some issues during our evaluation. Resizing a partial area does not save the new picture, so it seems that using the default window dimension is the only option. Furthermore, the tool failed in its attempt to capture the full screen (it grabbed only the partial one, although we triggered the full screen option). Screen Thief has a good response time and uses low CPU and RAM, and it did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs in our tests. However, users should resort to more powerful apps for taking screenshots. Reviewed by Elena Opris, last updated on February 3rd, 2014
