Pros and Cons

Jing is a free application that records either picture or video screenshots of a selected area of your computer screen. Jing provides two ways of viewing these screenshots and screen videos. The first is by simply saving the file to the hard drive of your computer and the second is by embedding the file into a secure website that can be viewed by all using the URL provided.

The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere.
