Step 1
Go to tinygrab.com and register to download the software to your computer. You'll also find a control panel at the TinyGrab site.

Step 2
How TinyGrab WorksWhen the software is installed, it is accessed through a set of control keys, or you can click the icon to use it. In Windows you'll find the TinyGrab icon in your system tray. You can use its functions with a right-click. On Mac the icon is located in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Step 3
When you are ready to grab a screenshot, use the preferences to indicate whether you want a full screen, a specific area of the screen or the active window.

Step 4
The screen capture is saved to your clipboard. You can immediately upload the image to an IM, on Twitter or to the control panel you access at tinygrab.com.

Step 5
TinyGrab offers a free account, which allows you to create 10 screenshots a day. For a $10 premium account you have unlimited access, plus the ability to organize and search among your screenshots in the online control panel. This gives you the ability to find your screen captures if you need to use them again.
