Screen2exe - Free screen capturing utility!

10 Oct 2007 by Shashank

The Software

Screen2exe is a screen capture utility which records onscreen activity as an EXE file.

Pros

1. Really Light - Just 424 KB !

2. Captures as EXE File - This is what makes it stand apart from others. While a video may not run on some systems in the absence of certain codecs or players, an EXE file is bound to run on any windows machine.

3. High Compression Ratio - While the compression might not be the highest as claimed by the makers, it does provide a decent figure indeed

4. Ease of Use - It starts like a step by step wizard asking you to fine tune the settings as per your requirements making it really user friendly

Cons

1. A non video output may be seen as a con by some.

Suggestion to makers

As an EXE file has its own benefits and a Video file its own, I would suggest an amalgamation of both these functions. That would make this software truly versatile and good for all needs.

Bottom Line

When it costs you neither disk space nor money, why not give it a nod?
