![]() We recommend using the free image editing app IrfanView as an alternative to capture Windows 10 screenshots with a visible mouse cursor.įirst, you’ll have to download IrfanView and install it on your computer. You’ll notice that its screenshots aren’t as crisp or high-resolution as ones you take with other tools. While Steps Recorder works well, it tends to degrade the quality of screenshots. RELATED: Using Windows 10's New Screenshot Tool: Clips and Annotations Take Visible Mouse Cursor Screenshots with IrfanView If that doesn’t suit your needs, you can try using our alternative method below. The screenshots might appear compressed, however. We used the keyboard shortcut Windows+Shift+S to get the job done.Īfter capturing a screenshot, you can save it wherever you like and then repeat the process to grab other screenshots. ![]() To do so, you can use various ways to capture screenshots in Windows 10. With the Steps Recorder window maximized, you’ll need to take a standard Windows screenshot of the step to convert it to a file. This button is located right next to the close button, denoted by an “X.” Record as long as you like, just keep in mind that the file size for your recording isn’t getting any smaller.Once you’ve enlarged a screenshot, click the maximize button (the square icon) in the top-right corner of the Steps Recorder app. At this point, hit the Record button and Screenflick will do the rest. One odd thing I found was that there was no setting for capturing an individual window though you can drag and drop an area corresponding to that window…just don’t move it after its set. Full screen is an option as is a variety of presets and aspect ratios. This is where you decide just how much or little of the screen you want to record. This will bring up the controls for selecting the screen size and a few other options for recording. To select the screen size of monitor to record, hit the big red “Start Recording” button in the Record/Export window. There’s also the “Export” tab which we’ll go into further detail later in the review. If you think you might want to, go ahead and check it as you can change your mind about it later. If you plan to record your own webcam, you can select that under camera options. Under Audio options you can record System Audio by clicking the “Record System Audio” checkbox (no kidding) as well as select which audio source you want to use for yourself. You can choose how many frames a second you want to record along with the size of the window or screen you are going to record which will have a big impact of the size of the file generated. There are three options for following the cursor including one that will jump to another monitor if it strays close to your monitor’s border. ![]() ![]() From here you have a few decisions to make such as whether you want a fixed window for recording or having the cursor followed. Once you’ve made your preferences selections, this is the first window that you’ll see. While most of the choices are purely aesthetic, some can be very important. Once you have the program running, you should open its “Preferences” window to make some basic choices on how you want to work with the program. On the opposite side (namely…free), there’s QuickTime which can provide bare bones screen recording, but not much else. It’s not a video editor beyond some basic cropping features and if that’s what you want or need, be prepared to easily spend well over $100 a year for some of their competitors. Screenflick takes a different approach by being a simple to use screen capture application, but with a few very interesting tricks up its sleeve.īefore we begin, let’s jump to what Screenflick isn’t. Most of the other (granted) more fully featured screen capture applications are practically full fledged video editors and that’s a plus in their favor, but that also adds a lot of complications to what should be a simple task.
