Browse All TopicsI am looking for a way of saving screen shots to .jpg files by pressing a single key (or key combination) on my keyboard.
I often need to save screenshots, and using the method of pressing the Print Screen button on my keyboard and then pasting this screenshot into MSPaint and then saving the file is too tedious.
I need a simpler way of doing this, where I can simply press a key (or a key combination) and then the screenshots will be automatically saved to my hard drive.
This will greatly improve my productivity.
What sort of program will allow me to do this?
