SnagIt is a fabulous software. Before knowing it even existed I struggled with various screen capture tools but not having had much luck, I often got frustrated with the lack of functionality they give.
While the Firefox extension Fireshot proved pretty satisfactory, it never did everything I wanted it to do. While you can do a lot with Fireshot, the best thing is that it is free to download. It sits in your browser and with the click of your mouse you can capture a window, or parts of it.
Another tool I’ve used was Window’s very own Snipping Tool that comes free with Windows Vista at least. But again, while the Snipping Tool was ok, it wasn’t great. But then a client of mine suggested I use the SnagIt tool and since it came with a free 30 day trial, I had plenty of time to compare it to the tools I had used before.
I have to say, that after using SnagIt for 30 days on all the blogs I write and edit, I am very pleased to say that this week I purchased my license.
This is one of the best software I have come across since being online, because I use it pretty much every single day. Therefore it’s value has paid off in itself before I even paid for it.
Here is what SnagIt can do:
You can also:
- record movies
- use time delay to capture those hidden windows
- capture any part of any site
- capture scrolling windows in websites and on PDF’s
- and lots more
If you are a die hard Internet marketer, user, blogger or creative enough to show a lot of images and screen shots on your blog, then SnagIt is for you.
It normally costs $39.95 for a full license, once the 30 day trial is up.This includes all future updates too. But you can also do a search on Google for vouchers like this

and you will come across a big range of free downloads and discounted ones too. While I don’t mind saving some money, I would be very careful with freeware downloads as they often contain viruses.
