Users can define the capture hotkey, capture area (Current window, Full screen or Rectangular area), picture format ( .jpg, .gif, and .bmp etc) and destination.

Outline font technologies such as TrueType primarily provide us with typographical flexibility and accuracy, but they can also serve as graphical playthings. Programmers can get access to the actual outlines that define each text character and treat them as vector graphics objects. The outlines can be stroked, filled, used for clipping, or subjected to transforms. A popular feature in Microsoft Word known as WordArt is based on this concept.

It's important to recognize the nature and limitations of these character outlines: they are strictly geometrical and are missing the "hints" that the operating system normally uses to render fonts on the screen. These hints allow the characters to be rasterized intelligently based on the available pixel grid. Consequently, the unhinted character outlines look best in big font sizes or on high-resolution devices. They are usually not adequate for rendering text at normal font sizes on the screen. (However, as printer resolution gets higher and as antialiasing is used more for screen graphics, the value of hinting has decreased)..
