This is phenomenally useful if you’re trying to get a region of a specific size, as it means you don’t need multiple re-tries if you release the mouse a bit too early or twitch slightly as you draw the selection rectangle. This latter concept actually runs through all of Snagit 12’s selection tools-the user can specify a region and then edit or resize it before the actual capture takes place.

You can also decide after you’ve made a selection if you want to capture video or a still image. You can perform simple editing, such as clipping sections of video, after the capture. This feature was added in Snagit 11, and Snagit 12 enhances it in several ways. Get Started with the basics or expand your skills with our full list of tutorials. Snagit 12 comes with the ability to save or share to many targets, and you can download more from their site.īeyond the standard “screenshot” type images, though, Snagit also supports video capture. (And for developers, it can connect to the Visual Studio Team System-helpful when you need to document a bug ‘in action’ or show off UI prototypes.) Furthermore, output can be shared or sent to many destinations, from a Word document to cloud storage such as Dropbox to your WordPress blog or to several social media sites. Output of the capture is similarly broad: All of the major image formats (PNG, GIF, JPG, TIFF, etc.) are supported. The Snagit editor’s Library function makes organizing and finding your captures easy.
