Snagit Reviews

Summary: My overall experience has been a very good one. There is a reason I have used this program for all these many years, maintained my license, gotten the upgrades. Snagit is a great program, I'm so glad I have it to use!

Positive: I have been using Snagit for a good 20 years, now...I think it's been that long. Time flies when you're busy living it. I am not a graphics person. All the cool stuff graphic artists do....I'm not one of them. I have been a Snagit fan all these years because it's simple to use. This program allows me to accomplish what I need to accomplish with ease, a minimum of hassle.

Negative: I have only one whine....no drag and drop on Editor! If I could just grab the graphic and drag it into Editor, especially multiple graphics at one time, I would be SUCH a happy Snagit user!

Summary: This is my go to screen and video capture both at work and home

Positive: The ability to capture a web page beyond the size of the screen by scrolling is non-negotiable and hence why I have been a Snag it user for over ten years.

Negative: Nothing than I can think of. Maybe easier to have licence renewal for three years rather than every year.

Summary: So glad I found Snagit and all the screen shots and video help to make future projects for home and work. Well worth the money, and renew each year.

Positive: Enjoy the chance to take a screen shot, video presentation with ease.
Constructs a library to review past work and projects.
Updates to add new features.

Negative: Takes a little practice but tech and email support are great in support.

Summary: Very positively use it often and I like the way it works seamlessly and it is an all-in-one solution.

Positive: It does all the things I need to do all in one application. The maintenance program makes sure I am always up to date.

Negative: None I can think of 🤔 I use it often even though Windows has it built in.

Summary: Snagit is an excellent screenshot tool that offers many features and flexibility for users who need to collect and share information visually. Snagit is suitable for anyone who works with images or video on a regular basis, such as educators, trainers, designers, marketers, or support staff. Snagit can help users create compelling and informative content for various purposes and audiences. Snagit is easy to use and reliable. It has a simple and intuitive interface that guides users through the capture process. It also has a complete editor that allows users to modify and improve their captures with various tools and effects. Snagit also has a convenient library that stores and manages all your captures in one place.

Snagit is versatile and powerful. You can capture anything on the screen in different modes and formats. You can also record video with audio and webcam overlay. You can also capture moving web pages or documents that don't fit on the screen. Snagit also has a sharing feature that allows users to send their catches to different destinations with ease. Snagit is worth the price for users who need more than just basic screenshot features. Snagit offers a lot of value and functionality for users who want to create professional-quality images and videos. Snagit also has regular updates and support from TechSmith that ensure its quality and compatibility. Snagit is one of the best screenshot tools available on the market. It is a must for anyone who wants to communicate visually and effectively with their audience.

Positive: It can be easily used due to its user-friendly interface that makes it easy to access and customize the capture options. Users can choose from different capture modes such as full screen, window, region, scroll, panorama, or video. Users can also use hotkeys or the Snagit toolbar to quickly initiate a capture.

The editor that allows users to enhance and annotate their shots with various tools and effects. Users can add text, shapes, arrows, stamps, callouts, blur, zoom, crop and more. Users can also use templates to create professional-looking images or GIFs with predefined layouts and styles.

The library that it has organizes and stores all the captures in one place. Users can search, tag, rename, delete or export their library captures. Users can also access a history of their captures and edit them again if necessary.

Snagit has a sharing feature that allows users to send their screenshots to different destinations such as email, clipboard, printer, file, social media, cloud services, or other applications. Users can also customize output settings such as file format, quality, size, and resolution.

I like that video capture allows users to record their screen activity with audio. Users can choose to record the entire screen or a specific area. Users can also use the webcam overlay, system audio, microphone input, or narration to enhance their videos.

The scroll capture feature allows users to capture long or wide web pages or documents that do not fit on the screen. Users can select the direction and speed of scrolling, and Snagit will automatically stitch the captures into a single image.

Negative: Its price is relatively high compared to other screenshot tools. Users may find it expensive if they only need basic screenshot features.

It has limited video editing features compared to other video capture tools. Users may need to use other software if they want to add more advanced effects or transitions to their videos.

It can sometimes crash or lag on some computers, especially if they have multiple monitors or high-resolution displays. Users may need to adjust their performance settings or update their drivers to fix this issue.

Summary: When I am correcting a report within my company, I usually make notes to help others improve certain aspects to better convey a message without confusion, so with this software I can take screenshots or make a short video adding notes. or recording an audio saying what to improve without the need to edit the document or meet in person.
I give my clients an orientation with screenshots with the documents in digital versions about the information of the properties that they are going to buy in order to facilitate the identification of certain parameters that they should consider before buying a property. In addition, when a client wants to sell a property then I record a screenshot of how and where to upload all the characteristics of your property in case you already have all that information, this in order to make your sale more practical by being able to have it on the real estate market almost immediately.

In general, certain people in my work team have confusion about the use of other platforms where they do not know where to locate a function or do not know how to use a tool within a platform. So I don't doubt much and I give you a brief explanation taking a video capture trying to solve your little doubt.

Positive: + I like the ease with which I can quickly take a screenshot, crop a specific area of my screen, or just record something in a matter of a couple of clicks. In general, I don't like having this type of software running in the background because of the excessive consumption of resources it can have. However I have not had either problem with Snagit as it only uses resources excessively when I record in a high quality, so this is not always the case and I can also set it to the video quality that I consider good.

+ The prices are very well adapted to what I was looking for, generally there are many monthly or annual payment services which if I stop paying the established fee I lose the service. On the other hand, Snagit is practically a one-time payment, you only have to pay a small annual maintenance which implies being able to receive updates whenever you need it. So thanks to this small cost that this software costs me, I can increase productivity, as well as I have a good return by being able to have a software to capture everything at the moment I need it, in addition to having a good image quality and also being able to share with my work team captures them with the annotations with important information.

+ I can have a visualization of all the captures made previously without having to navigate between folders to look for old captures. I liked that its clipboard is very wide and comfortable because if I copied an image over another I just have to open Snagit's clipboard and find the desired image, video or audio without any problem. I can also bookmark the screenshots that I take and that I consider I have to always have, this helps me a lot so that I don't have to remember where the screenshots are, I only have to review the favorites section to find what I'm looking for.

+ The text replacement of an image was quite useful for me, I don't have to go into an image editing software since with Snagit I was able to recognize the text of an image and I only had to click and write the text that is going to be replaced within the image. It is not perfect because in certain texts with complicated backgrounds it is not perfect, but in backgrounds with plate colors everything is wonderful.

Negative: - It takes a while to start, so I have to let my computer run it at login and wait for it to run correctly so I can take screenshots or record screen without any problem. It should be noted that I use a computer with good resources, however it does not seem that this affects the execution of Snagit when I want to run it to use any of its functions, I prefer that it not always be open but it is the only way to have this software immediately available then I have no choice.

- They should add more flowchart templates, I don't find the templates professional even if I have the premium version with the possibility of more templates. In addition, the editor is very simple, I know that this software is not an image editor or a presentation creator, but if they are going to include a function to be able to make diagrams with the screenshots, they should also polish this function to make it more complete. So I avoid using other software to do this but could directly do it in Snagit.

- I don't usually have this problem very often, it's just that when there's a new update and it's not completely finished or contains bugs, I have to uninstall everything again and try to go back to a previous version. This means that I now have to back up previous installations in case new updates fail and avoid interrupting use of this software by waiting for the Snagit development team to fix the issues. It should have a function that directly makes me go back to a previous version when something fails without me having to do a lot of things to get everything back to the way it was.

- I want to have the ability to remove the mouse arrow from the video captures that I do, this interrupts a lot in the presentations that I occasionally do with this software, since when I'm explaining something it's very useful but when I don't want to just point anything the mouse arrow gets in the way and distracts the audience. I know this is not a complete video editor since it lacks functions but it is not bad to be able to remove the mouse without any problem with a couple of clicks.

Summary: Snagit has allowed me to be able to record the video conferences that I have within my company and thus have a record of everything that was discussed in case someone forgot a point discussed or that a staff could not be available, so this makes it easy in many aspects of the job. In addition, it has been useful to me when I want to have a screenshot of some annotations within the video conferences which will be useful for later. Speaking of annotations, this platform has also allowed me the ease of making annotations to my screenshots that I take to be able to make explanations within the communication that I have with colleagues in the company and thus share ideas more easily.

Positive: º The main thing I like about this software is that I can sync your generated files to the cloud without even downloading a cloud file manager. This platform allows the integration of applications that store files in the cloud so I can configure it so that each recording or screenshot goes directly to the cloud without doing it manually, allowing me to have my files on any device that can access the manager of files in the cloud that I have integrated.

º It does not consume so many resources so its performance is very optimal. I've tried recording screen while listening to music, playing a video or just presenting a PowerPoint slide and everything works fine. Also, I've kept it in the background and I don't realize it's there except when I want to take a screenshot or record something specific.

º The simplicity of its use was what prompted me to opt for this product since I did not need many steps to configure the video quality nor did I get lost when recording or taking a screenshot. In addition, I was able to install Snagit on Mac and Windows without any problem since it is cross-platform, which gives me the possibility of having the same software on both operating systems and thus not having confusion by using two different software for screenshots.

º It is very useful to be able to edit a screenshot without using external image editors just to add some elements to the image. I can put almost anything on the image the instant I take the screenshot, I like it that way because it gives me more accessibility and ease in editing a screenshot when I want to put a description or something inside the image that helps guide to which you are going to visualize the image and do not get lost. Also, it saves me a lot of time just taking screenshots and editing in the same place without having to open an external program, locate the image and use complex tools just to put a few simple things.

º I can put keyboard shortcuts to indicate a recording or screenshot. I find it easier to be able to do it this way since I only have to press a few keys to be able to capture what I need at a certain moment, thus saving me time in clicking or searching for the software to start a screenshot. Also, I can have a floating widget that also allows me to start capturing whenever I want.

Negative: º I would like that in the toolbar I can customize the order of the tools that are established in this software. I would like to be able to change certain elements or simply remove them so that they are not in the way since I do not use everything 100% of this platform or sometimes I simply take screenshots without making any edits since usually I just need to send something with a simple screenshot of screen.

º I would like to have the ability to put an image on the screenshot that I am editing, when I want to attach several images into one I have to resort to external software or simply use MS Paint, this is cumbersome since I want everything to be inside from one platform without resorting to others to edit an image capture. I know this is not an image or video editor, but it would be helpful to be able to place one image on top of another.

º Sometimes selecting an area or a window becomes confusing when it comes to wanting to record the screen and not see other elements. In addition, I would like only the content of the window that I specified to be recorded even if I pass another window over it since it seems that when selecting a window it cuts out that area and starts recording so that anything that appears in that box will appear on the video capture.

º Sometimes when I finish recording the screen, when I want to stop the recording to save on video, Snagit stops out of nowhere making me lose the recording. Another similar thing that happened to me is that at the end of the recording everything seems normal, but when opening the video it simply goes black with the minutes that the recording lasted or an empty file remains in video format making me understand that it never recorded anything. This has happened to me a few more times, however it is annoying sometimes to have to re-record the same thing twice.

º There are not many bug fix updates and when an update occurs it is only to release new versions which can only be acquired by repurchase. This is extremely annoying because I paid for a final product and if it is not stable I would expect that to be corrected or improved, however what you get is a new version with the improvements and corrections that should have been made in a previous version through updates.

Summary: Snagit is a simple yet powerful screen capture solution from TechSmith. It is focused on capturing screenshots and lightweight video recording and is quite easy to use.

Positive: Screen Capture & Recording
Ready to use templates for creating new content
Panoramic view & Scrolling capture feature
GIF Creator

Summary: It has been our number one tool to take screenshots of everything we need, sometimes for internal work matters or to express something to the public and the Snagit platform has been the ideal place to highlight this. In general terms, it has good editing tools and makes sure that everything we need to do is just as we need it thanks to all its countless tools that allow us to be as precise as possible. Snagit is practicality in one place and having a platform that does the screenshots as we need it is a plus in every way, since we don't have to try to find which tool will best present the screenshot, or which allows us to obtain the desired format, this platform has everything within its spaces. First, we started with the free trial and then we became part of the team to be able to take screenshots and recordings whenever we need it. With Snagit we have promoted our communicative power within the company in the creation of guides or strategies within the work teams of each department, and with our client’s creating loyalty by editing images for campaigns.

Positive: Snagit is a handy tool that we thought we didn't need, but since we've used it, we've discovered how much the utility of the platform makes various functions easier. It allows us to record or capture screen images, the editing power is quite precise and allows us to customize the recording or image as we need it, the editing power is quite simple and intuitive and offers multiple options that are easy to understand, highlighting the crop, add text or shapes you require. The templates are very varied and always offer the right and necessary options to capture what we need to do; Likewise, it opens the possibilities for us to obtain any file we want. It works in the background without interrupting our workflow, which is perfect, because we will need it constantly and having it there whenever we need it has been essential. Among my favorite functions, the capture of the scrollable region stands out, regardless of whether it is not on the screen, in addition to the fact that Snagit really has everything we require, a fast, easy, and quality function.

Negative: Among the negative aspects, I can highlight that it is a somewhat dense and heavy platform to use on the computer and does not have a mobile platform, this would be crucial to be able to work from our phone and make mobile captures without this limitation that Snagit currently has. On the other hand, although its function is efficient and provides captures in real time, over time the platform becomes heavy and for some reason it does not work as smoothly as it did before, when we started using it. Having a blur function within the edit would be a plus for certain aspects that we need within our captures. Until now these are the negative things that we have seen, but we know that they can be improved and that they are not of great relevance for the use of the platform.

Summary: Hassle-free capturing videos. Versatile features. Makes workflow a breeze. Easily crop and edit any images. Animated GIF can be added within a document, chat or text. Custom options are available to create GIF. Simple to use. Works quickly and smartly.

Positive: Snagit is a powerful screen recording software. Quickly captures a process. Also enables screenshots. Easy to use features. Panoramic capture (horizontal and vertical). Infinite scrolling webpages. Easily cut or edit our video clips. Quickly shares video and images to PowerPoint, Gmail, Google, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft word, Outlook etc. Free trial is available. Most useful tool for recording videos.

Negative: Amazing customer support. Reliable software. No cons till now.
