Desktop recorders or screenshot capturing tools can be highly useful, especially when employed for technical support or educational reasons. ThunderSoft Free Screen Recorder is a lightweight and practical program designed just for such tasks, which also allows its users to employ any installed cameras – if available.

However, the utility does not require a camera to create any clips, as built-in capturing algorithms can handle most basic recording tasks. Sounds can also be processed and the use of a microphone can significantly improve the quality of the output files.

As for the target items, one can record the entire screen, as well as user-defined windows. Once the process has been launched, the application will start capturing and intuitive and customizable hotkeys can be employed to pause or stop the program.

Users can customize their clips by modifying various settings parameters, such as quality, resolution and FPS of the multimedia films, as well as the ability to remove the cursor from captures. Screenshots can also be taken and all the hotkeys used by default by the tool can be changed.

Furthermore, one can add user-defined text or picture watermarks, both with adjustable transparency settings. The program supports several common formats as containers for output data, including AVIs, WMVs, and MP4s for videos and PNGs or JPGs for screenshots.

Summing up, ThunderSoft Free Screen Recorder is a good tool for anyone regularly faced with desktop capturing tasks. The application allows one to add custom watermarks to target files and output documents feature common extensions, such as AVIs or WMVs.
