Manage all of your screenshots

We review a lot of programs every day here at Softonic and we tend to take a lot of screenshots. The tools we use to do this need to be easy to launch and offer a good set of tools.

Copernicus is a solid screen capture tool which allows you to capture parts or your whole screen. You can also record small videos. Copernicus lets you set the frame rate and decide whether to rely on memory or hard drive.

I like how Copernicus includes a preview interface for batch handling your different screen grabs. When saving you'll notice you can adjust the quality of the image, however you won't be able to change the format from JPG.

I didn't really like how Copernicus worked with F keys, which I don't find the most comfortable to work with on a Mac. However other users might find them very handy for controlling the program.

  • Pros

    • Precise capture tool
    • Capture short movies
    • Batch preview
  • Cons

    • Can only save in one format
    • Use of F keys
    • Doesn't record audio

    Can not record movies. will NOT allow me to record movies in full screen, it only records in region, no way to set it to full screen movie recording.

    Works well on 10.6 (Snow Leopard), not on 10.7 (Lion). Copernicus works very well on my iMac mid 2007 with OS 10.6.8.There is a black screen when trying it on my MacBookAir 13" mid 2012 with OS 10.7.4 Pros: Easy to use, flexible fileformat and store folder Cons: Doesn't work with OS 10.7?

    Convenient, but.... Saving in only one format doesn't bother me (99% of the time, JPG is what I want). What annoys me is that it forces a space after JPG, which has to be corrected. Pros: Contrary to benjamin543's experience, I use it on Snow Leopard almost daily.

    Not compatible with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). It seems that this is a nifty peace of software that is unfortunately not compatible with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). Pros: Freeware, Features Cons: Doesn't work in 10.6
