Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
If you do any kind of digital art or design, we can't think of a reason you wouldn't want to have PicPick as your sidekick. This handy set of tools can handle many small yet important design-related tasks without the hassle of opening a full-blown design program.
PicPick has an attractive, no-nonsense interface that lists all of its features up front. And what a list it is; PicPick's capabilities include a variety of screen capture options, a color picker, a color palette, a magnifier, a pixel ruler, a crosshair, a protractor, and a whiteboard. The program also comes with a basic image editor that can handle tasks such as cropping, resizing, and rotating, as well as a applying a handful of special effects. PicPick's features aren't especially unique, but the fact that they're all bundled together in such a sleek, easy-to-access package makes this program a must-have. We were especially fond of the whiteboard feature, which lets users draw, marker-style, on their existing desktop or on a blank canvas. The options for screen captures are also impressive; users can select full-screen captures, particular windows or regions, fixed regions, freehand areas, and even scrolling windows. The program comes with an online Help file, but most users probably won't need to consult it, as the program's tools are all quite straightforward. Overall, we were impressed PicPick's usefulness and attractiveness, and we recommend it highly.
PicPick installs and uninstalls without issues.

"One of the most useful tools in my tray! And it's FREE!"
Version: PicPick 3.2.4
Pros
Click on the tray icon and use the popup menu, or define your own shortcut keys to quickly capture any portion of your screen, then if you want edit the image directly in PicPick, before saving it in whatever format you choose. You can insert the saved image directly or as an attachment in an email or any document of your choice. Great for use with Evernote and has all the basic picture editing tools you usually need, but if you ever need more sophisticated tools just save the image first and use your favorite photo editor.
Cons
None that I have experienced.
-
"Easy to use screen or area grabber"
Version: PicPick 3.2.4
Pros
Fast and has a built in editor
Cons
Editor limitations. There is unnecessary software if you don't pay attention to the installation process.
Summary
This free application is far superior to the Snipping tool provided by Win7.

"It does it all!"
Version: PicPick 3.2.4
Pros
Free! Love how you can do a screen capture then immediately edit it with ease. Also really like the Whiteboard feature - do that in a web meeting when people are looking at your screen and they'll be amazed!
Cons
Be careful when installing - it tries to trick you to installing other crap software. Read carefully and unselect the checkboxes.

"Complete, clean, flexible screen capture...fantastic!"
Version: PicPick 3.2.3
Pros
Easy to use, keeps separate files for each capture, allows editing, allows saving in various formats, convenient access, easy use with multiple screens, capture scrolling window, measure angel tool, ...it is complete!
Cons
Still trying to find one.

"I give this 5 Stars excellent program"
Version: PicPick 3.2.3
Pros
How could you not like this program. You get it for free and it does a good job capturing screen shots.
Cons
For the price I can't see any cons
-
"Have been using versions of this for several years."
Version: PicPick 3.2.3
Pros
Great program to capture screen shots and have lot of photos on my computer that were make from PicPick.
Cons
No real cons for the program. It does what it says it will do easily.
Summary
EVeryone should have this on their computer so they can make screen captures. I usually capture an area and turn it into a .jpg and put it into my Pictures folders. Occasionally I capture a screen area and paste it into an e-mail. Can't imagine not having a program like this on my computer.

"Used often every day. You'll be happy."
Version: PicPick 3.2.3
Pros
Fast. Nice collection of tools, however I use screen capture 95% of the time.
Good developer response. I made a request and it appeared in the next version in a couple of days.Cons
Drawing the "next shape" sometimes selects the shape I just drew causing me to fumble around a bit.
It has a cool feature "scrolling window capture", where it actually presses the scroll bar for you and pieces together a big image. This is so amazing, but it doesn't work all of the time (not sure if that's PicPick's fault or windows).Summary
It's hard for me to settle in on a particular program to do tasks. I used PicPick for about a year before breaking down and buying the professional version (actually fairly inexpensive).
I make several (tens) of screenshots a day, the management of them is a bit cumbersome...no worse than multiple documents in MS Word, for example. However, some better management might be nice (autosave, screen capture library?? not sure).
Would be nice to have a more full-featured editor, but not really sure about that...I wouldn't want the GUI to get too fat. Still... -
"PicPick beats the pants off SnagIt"
Version: PicPick 3.2.2
Pros
Light-weight, easy to use. Lots of options. This is so good I bought the commercial version which is cheap compared to bloated Snag-It as to support the developers.
Cons
Some might consider this a pro, but it is updated often. Only annoyance if you get the free version is you have to opt-out of unwanted add-ons, but heck its free and the devs deserve to make some money.
Summary
Get it and quit being a Snag-head.
-
"Just OK, even for free"
Version: PicPick 3.2.2
Pros
Free program and does some basic stuff
Cons
Not nearly as user friendly as SnagIt which I am going back to. Also had problems uninstalling. Performed the noromal uninstall routine and it popped back up again after a reboot. Now I can't find it in my programs listing to uninstall. Now I'm treating it more like malware than freeware.
Summary
Not worth the time to install and learn. Go with SnagIt for a few extra bucks.

"Cannot Uninstall"
Version: PicPick 3.2
Pros
seems to work great
Cons
I like my other program better
Summary
I tried to uninstall and it does not show up in control panel and there is no uninstall program. PicPick's website was not helpful in removing in my case. I dont know about other people machines but it should show up in control panel...
