An example screen capture using Techsmith's SnagIt software

The SnagIt software from Techsmith is something I use on a regular weekly – often in fact, daily – basis, and I’m a big fan, so it seemed only appropriate to do a review (and not I should note for any commercial gain … there is no affiliate program – I just like it!).

You’ll be able to see below how I use it myself, and consider if it’s something you could use yourself.

First off, it’s probably best to see how I used to manage without this software. For any screen capture I wanted to do, it was a case of hitting Alt & Prt Sc on my PC, and then pasting into something like PaintShop Pro and manipulating the image as necessary to suit my purposes. It all took extra effort, but most importantly, you just can’t do a lot of stuff that you can do using SnagIt.

For example, say I was setting up some instructions on how to use something, let’s say how to use the Twitter feature on Google’s toolbar (via their new Share feature), it took all of 10 seconds to take the screen capture image on the right.
