Welcome to the MagiCapture home page! Here, you will find the latest information, downloads, and documentation for the MagiCapture screen capture and preview utility!
MagiCapture is a screen capture and preview utility for the X Window System. A user may capture a single window, a single window with decorations, a rectangular region of the display, or the entire display itself. The user may save the captured image into a graphics file supported by the ImageMagick toolkit, which supports most (if not all) popular graphics formats. MagiCapture uses the GLIB and GTK+ libraries for the user interface and the ImageMagick and GdkMagick libraries for all graphics processing.
