The 7 Best Android Screenshot Apps

Every modern Android phone has a built-in screenshot feature.However, it usually only provides basic functionality, which may not be enough if you often deal with screenshots and need to customize it according to specific requirements.

Luckily, Google Play has a ton of premium screenshot apps that offer additional functionality.These apps help you skip the extra processing you do with screenshots in other apps, like annotating, editing, changing the file format, and more.

Let's take a look at some of the best Android apps for taking better screenshots.

1. screenshot touch

screenshot touchIt is an advanced screenshot tool, which is a little complicated to use.Like most apps on this list, it must be activated beforehand, which you can do by clicking Start Capture Monitoring Service.

You can capture screenshots using the overlay icon or by shaking the phone.The overlay icons are the most useful, and while it looks a little intrusive, the app does let you change the size of the buttons.The shake option is somewhat hidden, you can enable it in the advanced settings.

The app also allows you to capture entire web pages simply by copying and pasting URLs into the app.Plus, it has a built-in photo viewer that makes all your screenshots easily accessible.Here, you also have the option to crop and annotate your screenshot.

In the settings, you can change the image format to JPEG, PNG, WEBP, or HEIF, and you can also increase the resolution and enhance the quality of screenshots.And you can also record your screen, making Screenshot touch one of the best screenshot apps for Android.

2. Screen Master

Once activated,Screen MasterLets you capture screenshots with its overlay icon or by shaking the phone, much like Screenshot touch.You'll see three tabs at the bottom of the app: Home, Screenshots, and Edit.

The Home tab has all the settings you can tweak, the Screenshots tab is a photo viewer, and the Editing tab has four options: Markup Photo for editing, Stitch Photo for merging multiple screenshots, Web Capture is used to capture entire web pages, and Record Video is used for screen recording. However, you need to install another app to record screen, which is not very convenient.

The app's performance and functionality are solid, but we encountered several unskippable video ads.For this, Screenshot touch has proven to be better because its ads are less intrusive.

3.Private Screenshots

Private Screenshots lets you take screenshots of chats on apps like Instagram and Snapchat without notifying other users.Additionally, it claims to be able to take screenshots of restricted apps like Netflix, Telegram secret chats, and banking apps.It's not guaranteed to work on all private apps, but it's worth a shot.

Screenshots you take with this app are private as they are not visible in your Android gallery or any other app.You can choose to move the screenshot to your gallery if you wish.

Private Screenshots just offers a screenshot feature and doesn't include options to record the screen, capture web pages, or even edit or annotate screenshots.It should only be used for privacy-related purposes, and we strongly recommend that you only use it if your local laws allow you to take screenshots of private chats and apps.

4. Easy Screenshot

Screenshot Easy works similarly to Screenshot touch, but with a cleaner, more organized interface.It has four tabs on the top bar: Screenshot, Screen Record, Website Screenshot and Scrolling Screenshot.

You can activate the features you want to use by clicking "Start Screenshot" in the relevant tab.Each tab has a different set of settings that you can toggle on or off.

In addition to similar functionality to Screenshot touch, this app can also grab scrolling screenshots to grab entire pages that aren't web pages, such as PDF files.This versatility makes Screenshot Easy one of the top screenshot apps for Android.

5. Screenshot

Screenshot is a straightforward app that has no web capture, screen recording, or editing features, the only thing you can really do with it is take screenshots.You can use the overlay icon to take a screenshot, or set a timer to capture whatever is on the screen after the timer runs out.

This app is a great replacement for the built-in screenshot feature on your phone in case it doesn't work by mistake, or the buttons on your phone don't work.For advanced features, you're going to have to use some of the other apps on this list.

6. Screenshot Assistant

When you turn on Screenshot Assistant, it first asks you to set the app as your device's default assistant app.You cannot use it without making this change in your system.Just follow the on-screen instructions and you're ready to go.

Once set up, Screenshot Assistant is the easiest app to use.There are no overlay icons or timers.Instead, to grab a screenshot, you just need to press and hold the phone's main navigation button (the circle) or swipe up from one corner of the screen.You can also crop and annotate your screenshots on the next screen.

7. Screenshot Capture

Screenshot Capture isn't a feature-packed app, but you do get decent editing options to personalize your screenshots.You can add effects, crop them, or paint on them.

The app focuses more on social media sharing than anything else.Once you've taken a screenshot and edited it the way you want, it gives you a bunch of sharing options.The app pretty much does what it promises.The only bad thing we encountered were video ads that we couldn't skip.
