Interface

The only interface of the Jet Screenshot application is the one that enables you to change the settings. However, you can access its various screenshot options by clicking or right clicking on it. In order to use it, you will need to select an area from your desktop, or the full desktop, and take a screenshot with Printscreen in combination with Alt or Control buttons, depending on the region. After you take the screenshot, you will be prompted to upload it via a FTP server or directly to the web. In addition, you can also save to file or copy it to clipboard. Once the selected action is finished you will receive a notification.

In case you want to edit your screenshot before uploading it or saving it onto your computer, you will be glad to know that you have a small toolbar to help you make the necessary adjustments. In addition, once you are finished with the editing, you can share the new screenshot directly from the toolbar.

Pros

Due to its simple mechanism of taking screenshots, the application is ideal for offices. In fact, developers, accountants and other professionals can easily share screenshots with team members and colleagues without the need to walk across the room to see the screen. At the same time, transferring pictures from one office to another is significantly faster, as you no longer need to log into your email account to send the screenshot. At the same time, the application can be quite useful in conferences, as managers or people holding the presentation can draw the attention of the audience by uploading screenshots of the focal points of interest. Therefore, you can save time and money by investing in the Jet Screenshot, since its price is less than thirty dollars per year.

Therefore, you will no longer be forced to share personal and private data with other types of services. Basically, the application permits you to restrict the access of the data to the number of people you know and trust. 

Cons

The free version of the Jet Screenshot application only allows you to save the files in .Jpeg format. Therefore, if you want to save them as .PNG you will need to acquire the full version.
