MadCap Capture
Screen Captures Made Easy
MadCap Capture lets you easily capture anything that is displayed on your computer screen, from window panels to entire screen shots, as an editable image. Further enhance captured images by adding text call-outs, cursor arrows, special effects and more.
With MadCap Capture, you can:
- Enhance the usability and look of your online and print documentation
- Utilize single-source images for print and web
- Add text callouts and other objects separate from image
- Customizable user interface elements that can be docked to different areas of the workspace
- Enjoy tight integration with other MadCap products such as Flare, Blaze, Mimic, and MadCap Lingo
- Auto-scroll windows capture option
- Standardize image settings using profiles
- Add special effects to draw user attention
How It Works

- Edit — Modify the image as needed, including cropping and resizing, as well as adding callouts, text, and effects.
- Save — Save the image as the appropriate file type and easily incorporate it into a Flare or Blaze project.

“I just got Capture yesterday and installed it late in the afternoon. So today I opened
it to take a look, and I started with the Getting Started Guide. Well, I cannot tell you when I've had so much fun with software!
This application is great! Even though I am going through the Guide, I really wouldn't have to, to learn the software. It is super-intuitive, and a very powerful application. I have had such a good time playing with Capture--now I can't wait to use it on a real job!
I also have Flare, but I haven't really spent much time with it yet. I am looking forward to it, though. I've been a RoboHelp user for more than 10 years, but I can't say I'm sorry not to be using it anymore. It's just so buggy and fragile now that it's hard to use. So I'm a MadCap convert!
Just love that Capture! ”
