CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 17, 2008
Capturing screenshots may not be glamorous, but at least SnagIt makes it simple. SnagIt lets you capture any part of your screen, from a partial image to the entire contents of a scrolling window. You can grab images of Web sites and software applications or pictures from scanners and digital cameras. You even can capture video and record screen action in AVI format.
Editing tools let you manipulate and enhance captures using effects (such as Brightness, Hue, and Saturation), filters, and borders. You can add arrows, substitute colors in the captured image, or create dark or light backgrounds with a single click. Version 8 adds several interactive features, such as saving Web pages with HTML links, adding hot spots and rollover states to objects and areas, and exporting files in SWF and PDF formats.
This program outdoes itself in features, so figuring out the menu structure may take a while, but the GUI additions in version 8 are a welcome addition. Unfortunately, the latest update is just as slow to start as the last version. Even with its package of powerful options, we found SnagIt flexible and easy to use. Balloon tips, wizards, and an online video tutorial make it simple for beginners, and its sophisticated capabilities will satisfy advanced users.

Version: SnagIt 8.0.1
"I bought SnagIt years ago, and never regretted it"
Pros: I can't believe only one other person has submitted a user review (as of today) for this excellent piece of software!! I've used SnagIt for years, and have zero problems. I use SnagIt regularly to keep screen captures of my online purchases (I save kinda like a digital receipt, since https:// doesn't save correctly).
Cons: I bought SnagIt awhile ago, and still use the older version because the newer versions are bigger and have way too many features that I don't need. the only con would be that the video capture feature doesn't work well. any recommendations for better applications to capture video?

Version: SnagIt 8.0.1
Pros: Snag IT has become an essential part of my software toolbox. I use this tool on a daily basis to create detailed documentation containing screenshots and to instruct others on how to operate software tools through documentation & email.
Snag IT provides the flexibility to take precise screenshots in any situation. I highly recommend this tool to business users. The ability to quickly adjust input and output sources and to add notes, arrows, etc. to screen captures is great. Learning how to use the tool effectively takes no time at all.
Business users, once you install Snag It, you will not be able to do without!
Cons: None.
