7. ScreenSend
ScreenSend is a screen shot program that allows you to quickly select a part of the screen, take a screenshot of it, and then upload the screen shot to an FTP server automatically. The url of the uploaded screen shot is then automatically placed on your clipboard for easy retrieval. ScreenSend can even be customized to work with your own FTP server or the default ScreenSend uploads server.
Screenshot Helper shows a full screen window with a solid color or a desktop picture so that you can take clean screenshots without having irrelevant windows and desktop icons in the background.
The easiest way to get a clean desktop for screenshots on Mac OS X is to create a brand-new user account and log in as a brand-new user. But if you need to use your own user account for whatever reason and you have a messy desktop like I do, you can use Screenshot Helper to hide the actual desktop in order to take clean screenshots.
9. Backdrop
Backdrop is a simple utility to fill your screen with a giant blank window. Fill the window with a solid color or a custom image, your choice
10. Skitch
Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing.

InstantShot! offers classical screenshot functionality for capturing the whole screen, a portion of it or a window and also the option to make timed screenshots or to make delayed captures over time. It offers a wide range of preferences and options to fit everyone’s needs.
12. SnapNDrag
SnapNDrag lets you take a screenshot by just clicking a button and dragging the resulting screenshot off. Supports PNG and TIFF for times when image quality cannot be compromised. Or use JPEG with adjustable quality for smaller file sizes.
13. SnapClip
SnapClip is a small faceless background application to take screenshot easily and quickly. The captured image can be copied to the Clipboard, or saved into various format file including picture clipping, JPEG, TIFF, PICT, etc. It is designed to be more like memo tool rather than screen capture tool. If you save the image to picture clipping file with thumbnail icon, you can easily see what kind of image without using any applications. That’s why I use the words ‘memo tool’.
14. SnapWeb
SnapWeb creates complete screenshots of web pages even if the users screen isn’t large enough to show the whole page content at once. The resulting images are saved as JPEG or PDF files.
15. Timed Screenshot
This free background utility takes screen shots at timed intervals and automatically saves them to a folder of your choice.
One Response
Thanks a lot for the list. I use Skitch and SnapNDrag as they are free and would do the basic screen capturing. When I require advanced works for my tutorial works, I use Voila software. But yes it is not free but worth the money.
