You don’t need to get disheartened anymore because with SnagIt App you can edit images, record screen recordings and take screenshots easily. To be precise, SnagIt is about creating easy to understand process videos and content that explains how-to do stuff in a more convenient manner. It not only organizes your work but also makes it seem more knowledgeable. Techsmith Corporation introduced the latest version of SnagIt with multiple popular features which enable faster knowledge sharing, clear documentation and explaining procedure and giving feedback by editing images and screen recordings. It is one of the finest screen-capture applications and its powerful and easy to use interface allows one to take full control of all the available features. Some of its very common features include:
More freedom with templates, color schemes and designs
SnagIt has introduced latest features allows combining of screenshots with ease through step by step guidance and users can get a more personalized outcome by customizing templates and catchy color schemes to enhance user experience. Multiple new font styles and designs have been created and added to make the user’s task more uniform and easy to perform.
Screenshots in simplified user interface design
Most apps use simplified graphical representations which are common in marketing and communication fields and thus, with applications like SnagIt creating graphics is easier. Converting screenshots to simplified graphical representations (SUI) style image has become easier with a click. More features, especially in SnagIt 2021 include Move Mode to remove formatting from images and implement better color schemes. With better and more incentives to create one can get a range of functions on hand with better graphics and more ease with SUI interfaces.
Faster performance and other customer requirements
For a faster performance system improvements are done for more efficient captures and better color pallets. The images are scaled better in order to edit images. A feature for smoothing is also provided to give more clarity and definition to images. The speed is considerably improved along with more customization in templates. With Covid-19 going on, it has made easier for people to work effectively in teams and communicate with better scaled and smoothened images and catchy graphics.
All-in-One Capture
In one window, one can get done with multiple tasks. The features included for all in one capture include:
Screen recorder: it helps the user record themselves while working through several steps and also allows one to take individual frames out of a pre-recorded video. One can further save videos as MP4 or an animated GIF.
Record Webcam: one can switch between webcam and screen recording and add a customized touch to your videos.
Record Audio: it allows user to add audio from microphone (i.e. speaking yourself) or through adding a voiceover pre-recorded in computer systems audio.
Animated GIFs: any recording can be changed to an apt GIF and could be easily shared to any platform on the web. Moreover, the customized feature allows creation of mood-fitting GIFs.
Video clips: Not only can we create amazing videos but those videos can also be edited accordingly and trimmed from parts not required. Furthermore, most apps do not allow cutting videos midway unlike SnagIt which allows cutting sections from beginning, middle and end.
Scrolling Screen Capture
Often, one needs to take a full page screenshot thus allowing more accessibility. With better screen capture tools it becomes easier to grab vertical and horizontal scrolls including taking complete webpages and long messages inside a single frame.
Grab Text
One of the best features offered in SnagIt is to copy paste the text without retyping it simply by using screen capture option. This saves time and allows users to prevent from redoing all the typing tasks.
With all the aforementioned features offered solely by SnagIt there seems no reason for users to try any other app for video capturing an image editing. It is a one stop package for creating GIFs, scrolling captures in panoramic view, creating templates and OCR functionality. However there are still a few questions that users ask commonly which are as follows:
How to use SnagIt?
One can use SnagIt by opening it from start menu and going to Techsmith programs where SnagIt’s latest version will be available. After the app opens go to SnagIt toolbar where several functions are available. In the drawing toolbar we have options including arrow, eraser, highlighter, text, magnify and callout. There are several other options and features afore mentioned that one can access quite easily through the guided step by step interface.
Is SnagIt Free?
No, SnagIt is not free but it is only available for US $ 49.99 per user which for the kind of features and functions it enables one to use is a comparatively cheaper price. Along with that for new users there is a 30 Day money back guarantee as well however after once using SnagIt one rarely ever stops using it. I believe snagit offers value for money and is essential to have for tasks. The fee is a onetime fee and comes with one license. Along with that SnagIt is compatible with windows 10 and mac and has a good reputation for working efficiently and reliably. Moreover, SnagIt is also available on Android.
SnagIt vs Camtasia Comparison
Both of these softwares are offered by Techsmith but which software is right for you depends on the kind of content one would like to create; either image creation or video creation. With SnagIt one can take screenshots and edit and scale images and also record videos and producing how to do videos however with camtasia one can create videos since it has a powerful and good screen recorder and video editor. It is used for other things including presentation recordings etc.
For users who are solely using SnagIt version 2023 are highly benefitted from the multiple improvements in features, enhancement and creating tutorials faster for users. This allows users to get a good grasp and use the software without any obstruction.
Alternatives of SnagIt
- Screenrec
One of the alternatives to SnagIt for Windows is Screenrec which captures screenshots and is also a screen recording tool. It also makes the sharing procedure comfortably easier for users along with its easy to use interface which lets you edit comments and draw objects. One can also include audio like in SnagIt. This application is considerably good but is not available for Mac users which outs it a disadvantage to SnagIt which is available for all devices and systems.
- Windows snipping tool
His is an application which is a PC screenshot tool and takes a photo of the screen regardless of the screen that is open. After getting the snip of the respective page you can edit it accordingly. Since it is there in Windows devices already thus one can get this software for free however unlike SnagIt this application can’t screen record videos. One also does not specifically need to download an image since it can be easily copied from clipboard but the editing isn’t as good as that of SnagIt. Moreover feature like text box can also not be added putting it at a disadvantage.
- Greenshot
This application is a free and open source for screen-capturing that is also free for Windows & and above. It is a very simple program that helps one to capture screenshots and is very easy to understand. Even though it has a very simple interface it cannot screen record which is not very effective. However it is a free application and considerably lightweight for all the tasks it performs thus can be a good alternative to SnagIt.
Lightshot is another software like snagit which is an extension app allowing user to takescreenshot of a specific page and converting image toa link so it can be shared without any disruption. One can also search for similar images however the app plugins lead the extension to work slowly. Even though this app is easy to use it lacks the adequate security.
After all the above alternatives for SnagIt, I can see that each app has one disadvantage or the other whereas with SnagIt there were no disadvantages and the users could edit according to their will with the wide range of functions available with reasonable price and one time payment for a lifelong license.
Final Word
It is my conclusion that SnagIt is one of the best applications to give user exposure to screenshotting, screen recording and audio manipulation without much of a hassle. It also allows creation of GIFs and video editing easily and thus should be the first choice if one is interested in creating that kind of content. Using applications like SnagIt not only reduces the timeframe of the task provided but actually make an effortless task be presented with much more definition and organization than was thought of.
