Top capture features

All-in-one

Snag anything, on the fly. Grab your entire desktop, a region, a window, or a scrolling window—all with a single hotkey or click.

Combine images

Create custom graphics easily by taking multiple captures and putting them together.

Spotlight and magnify

Draw attention to a specific part of your image. Just select the portion you want and Snagit will blur and darken everything else.

Markup tools

Add effects to your image, even if you don’t have a design degree. Draw attention with arrows, add a text callout or torn edge effect…just to name a few.

Top sharing features

Once you have your capture ready, you can do just about anything
with it:
* Save it in your preferred format.
* Share a URL or embed it in your blog via Screencast.com.
* Add it to your Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, MindManager or OneNote page.
* Publish to your website via FTP.
* Send it through email, AIM, Flickr or Skype.

Top organize features

Auto-storing

All of your captures are automatically saved to your Library with the most recent viewable all the time. Save time by quickly finding all your past captures.
Library keeps all your captures organized and findable

Tagging

Along with saving your capture, Snagit also stores information so you can find it again later. Search for your captures by date, website, or a custom flag that you create and assign.

MY VIEW

I use Snagit for my day to day Blogging work and its a learning experience for me often. I will often find something new which is possible with Snagit and I never thought about it. Its a complete screen capturing software with good enough built in Editing tools to give you great flexibility to manage your captured images.

You can do almost everything with Snagit starting from capturing Image whether its a web-page, big or small, or you need to scroll or a part of screen, or full screen or a part of menu or  apart of menu coming after a click, watermarking it, resizing it, scaling it, blurring it and much much more. I have not used any other tool after I started using Snagit and I use it almost everyday. (Thanks to complimentary license provided by Techsmith).

You can also use Snagit to  create time lapse video of your Desktop activity over a period of time (Frankly speaking I knew this just now while testing it).

Give Snagit it a try.

  2. I used a bit SnagIt in the office long ago. From what I remember, SnagIt has several interesting features for me:
    – ability to capture DirectX display (rare feature)
    – ability to edit the capture (annotate, fix, …) before saving it (not so rare but still good)
    – easy web capture as PDF
    Some capture options make it very handy when writing software documentation (including menu capture, which can be a real pain with some other tools)

  3. I’d like to win a license, because that is the most comprehensive to make screenshots with various options and also because-I know uses it.

  4. SnagIt is very cool: I’m using ver 7 right now and I would a license for the new version. Thanks for the giveaway and HappY BirthdaY!!
