Screenpresso is the only tool on the market that captures the mouse cursor well in all situations!

When an image with a resolution is different than 96 DPI, Screenpresso automatically changes the zoom level of the editor. For the added items, it increases the font size and the thickness found in the templates.

On the workspace's context menu, when right-clicking on an image, the DPI information is displayed when the selected image has a resolution different than 96 DPI.

• Added a "Lifetime of files" setting

This requests Screenpresso to automatically delete files that are older than a defined period. The default value is 'Unlimited'.

• Added F11 shortcut key to the built-in image editor to show or hide all toolbars.

It allows displaying the edited image as widely as possible.

• The OCR is now based on the Windows' built-in engine

You can still choose to use Tesseract OCR engine (the previously used tool) and compare the results to find the best one.
