In addition to the screen capture feature, you can also record videos, compress photos and especially Save Online to TinyTake’s Cloud. Let’s take a look at some of the great features of TinyTake.

A nice feature is that allows you to choose the image compression when taking screenshots with TinyTake. To be good for SEO, I usually try to compress images at the lowest size to speed up Web loading. So for screenshots I usually leave 80% shooting quality.

How to use TinyTake to take screenshots and record videos

To take a screenshot, you use the corresponding shortcut (HotKey). Mostly I use Capture Region. When the shortcut is finished, you will see on the screen a picture orange + sign. Conduct click and middle mouse to select the area to capture on the screen.

When the capture is complete, you will see the Editor window appear. Here you can add captions, draw arrows, add text, cover photos….

After editing you can click:

Ctrl + S: Save Online to Cloud by TinyTake

Ctrl + Shift + S: to Save to the computer

There is a pretty cool feature that other screen capture programs don’t have is Drag Me: When you’re done taking a photo, you can drag the photo straight into the browser to Upload the photo or send it. If you are writing an article in WordPress, you can drag it directly to the article, the image will automatically upload to Libary. This feature can drag photos into comments or chat on Facebook.

Tips to increase storage space and video recording time

By default, TinyTake only gives you 2GB of Online storage and 5 minutes of screen recording. To increase the video recording time on TinyTake, you can invite more friends to register for TinyTake via the ref link. I use virtual mail to create my own mail clone to self-ref, so I can shoot up to 15 minutes.

Into the Settings select Go Premium -> Select Share TinyTake -> Invite

You enter 5 Clone emails or friends invite them to register and use TinyTake. When they confirm Email and successfully log in to TinyTake, you will get 1 Ref.
