Taking a screenshot of important notes is the different way in Desktop or Laptop as you can do his with your smartphone is very simple way just pressing volume down button Power at the same time or using some smart gesture which is available in your smartphone but you can't take a screenshot of your desktop or laptop screen as you can on your smartphone but there is a lot of ways to take a screenshot of your desktop or laptop by using some shortcut key that is "PRT SC" or using some third party software or application.
If you are using Lightshot for taking a screenshot of your desktop or laptop then be careful with its some feature like cloud storage where you can upload your screenshot and you will get some link after that you can access your screenshot using that link or share that screenshot with your friends over the internet or you can share that screenshot on the social media account like Facebook, Twitter, VK, etc.
What is Lightshot?
Lightshot is a screen capturing tool that helps you to take a screenshot of your desktop or laptop screen and this tool gives you some feature that is very useful and you can use that feature to highlight any object in screenshot image like you can draw some lines or point out some specific area of the image, etc.
How to download Lightshot screenshot software?
Lightshot Screenshot tool is a lightweight and fastest screen capture tool for Windows, Mac operating system, and Lightshot extension also available for Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Opera. You can easily download Lightshot for Mac and Windows OS from the below link.
In the Lightshot software whenever you take any screenshot of your desktop or laptop screen then there is a lot of option to save your image like you can save your image on your local storage i.e. your desktop or laptop Hard drive or you can save in clipboard or you can print your screenshot or you can share your screenshot on social media directly or you can upload your screenshot on a light shot cloud server that you don't need to directly share your screenshot on social media or uploading on its cloud server whenever you do this then your screenshot becomes public and anyone can access your screenshot using the internet and some random URL.
Lightshot use very simple format type of URL for uploaded images
For example:
https://www.prnt.sc/_ _ _ _ _ _
Six digits random code combination will be filled on blank space like:
"sd3gg4" or "gt5kb9" or "st7gh3" etc.
Its a combination of alphanumeric characters of six-digit and when you will change any character or swipe any character within six digits then you will see a new screenshot that means if you want to see another screenshot you just need to change some character of URL in the last and you will see a different screenshot on your screen and that's why I suggest you that don't upload your screenshot on Lightshot's cloud storage otherwise your all screenshot will be public after that anyone can view your screenshot using the internet.
I have seen check lots of screenshots only just swipe the URL link of my screenshot that I have uploaded on its cloud storage and some screenshot have very sensitive information like Mobile number, email id, address, etc. its a screenshot of a "FORM".
So be careful with Share screenshots via Internet feature of Lightshot software or application.
