Mr. Captor

Mr. Captor is a powerful tool in the Screen Capture subcategory of Photo & Graphics programs, developed by Fox Magic Software. It is available as a shareware license, which means you can try it out before deciding to purchase it. The latest version, 4.6.1.3195, continues to build on the robust capabilities found in previous versions like 4.6, 3.6, and 3.5. Available file names include MrCaptor.exe, MrCaptor1.exe, and MrCaptorTryout.exe.

Supporting a wide range of operating systems such as Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, Mr. Captor is an essential utility for anyone looking to optimize their screen capture experience. By providing the ability to capture still images of desktop elements including entire desktops, specific windows, menus, cursors, and even long web pages and documents with an auto-scroll feature, it proves to be a versatile tool. Users can even capture timed images, and extract visuals from various file formats such as EXE, DLL, and SCR.

The interface of Mr. Captor is highly customizable and easy to navigate, featuring both small and large button modes to suit different user preferences. Its simple GUI is deceptive as it packs a multitude of advanced functionalities. Beyond capturing static images, it allows for video capture, albeit without sound currently, making it suitable for recording screen activities or streaming content. The frame rate auto-adjustment feature enhances its video capture capabilities, although the video quality is noted to be less than perfect.

One of the standout features is the ability to create Flash slideshows, paired with other tools such as color sampling and an image gallery, which enhance its utility for developers, designers, and general users alike. Despite not being free, the program's array of features provides ample justification for its cost.
