Developer's Description

Take snapshots and record your screen, process your screen contents as images and videos.

Ashampoo Snap 15 captures anything you see on your screen as images or videos. Aside from regular screenshots, the program also supports timed captures, scrolling areas, custom window sizes and multi-display environments. Multiple postprocessing features help you augment your screen captures with graphics, texts and effects to convey a lot of information quickly and visually. From webinar recordings to individual tutorials to illustrated explanations: Ashampoo Snap 15 is your fast route to success. Comfort features, automated numbering or dedicated postprocessing tools, save you time and effort. Finished captures can be stored locally or uploaded to Ashampoo cloud space. Snap's built-in video editor is perfect to make custom cuts and freely merge, or store, clips as individual episodes.Users particularly love the "magic eye" that auto-detects and selects windows, menus and scrollable areas. Version 15 features speed improvements as well as elliptical screenshots. The magic eye is now freely positionable along the edges of the screen so it'll never interfere with capturing. Furthermore, the editor now supports Windows 11 inspired rounded corners for images. Adding texts and comments has also become easier and faster. Finally, version 15 reintroduces guidelines during the capture phase for perfect alignment of your shots.

Don't buy if you want to record screen videos
ferreiraoliveiraigorJanuary 16, 2017
Pros
The software has enough setting options to most's purposes of use.
Cons
The official software requirements are very below of true requirements to record an framed video at HQ (854x480) quality, and even with on-the-fly or cache options, it cuts or delays the job, destroying your work. Even using an dedicated video card, with a good amount of RAM, at 2.8 GHz processor clock (running original 64-bit's Windows 10 very fast and with 50% free RAM memory), you can not use this app with confidence. I bought the 6 and 8 versions, following the official requirements, and was a total spent of money, and a deception with support of Ashampoo.
Summary
The software is heavy, because using an freeware screen video recorder as HyperCam, it records an HD (1280x720) frame without bigger problems. So, do not buy it following the official and badly wrong requirements of Ashampoo.
Did not work on Win 8.1
AlbusDJuly 22, 2015
Pros
Ashampoo refunded my purchase.
Cons
Program installed, ran, but was unusable. It would not allow even a simple clip from (for example) a web page. Support made a very half-hearted effort to solve the issue, but nothing they suggested helped. I'll keep looking for a better program.
Summary
Caveat emptor. Reviews of SNAP 8 seem good, but my experience shows it to be very flawed and difficult/impossible to use.
quite an original concept, many tools

It start up together with windows. That can easily be changed by using msconfig
Summary

A frequently used and very useful utility.
This might be garbage
bjkwjk1323November 13, 2013
Pros
It captured video. Not expensive.
Cons
Will not let me edit the video as advertised. When I contacted Ashampoo support about this issue here was the reply : "Hello, you are not able to edit the videos captured with Snap. Thank you for your understanding. MfG/Regards Thomas Vesper Kundendienst | Support"
Summary
After careful evaluation of the screen capture software options out there, I chose to purchase Ashampoo Snap 6. This product is advertised on the Ashampoo website as being "the only software you will ever need"; Capture,Edit,Publish. I can capture and I can publish, but I can't edit. The menu bar which is supposed to be at the left side of my screen, won't appear. When I contacted Ashampoo about this issue their reply stated that "you are not able to edit video captures with snap" Huh? is this just an ill informed "support" person? Or did I get duped? I have sent additional inquiries to Ashampoo about this issue and will update accordingly if we can get the software to work properly.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 13, 2013<p/>Shortly after writing this review I received a 2nd email from Ashampoo "support". Here is the reply: Hello, we are sorry for the misunderstanding. The sentence "capture, edit and publish screenshots and videos" should have been removed due to its misleading. As you can see in the US-translation of our site it has been removed. Here you will find the sentence "The only software you will ever need". https://www.ashampoo.com/en/eur/pin/0824/Multimedia_Software/Ashampoo-Snap-6 We have sent your feedback to our developers to change this. We may offer you a refund for your purchase if you want to. Please tell us your reference number so we can adivse it. The link posted in the response takes me back to the place where I bought this software initially. It clearly states in multiple places that the software allows users to edit.Also, the help file clearly shows screen shots of and speaks to edit functionality. Needless to say, I am going to accept the refund that was offered.
much more versatile than 'printscreen'...
jran1011May 29, 2013
Pros
Variety of options to cover any possible screen capture - video, webpage, selected area...
Cons
For my basic uses, no cons...
Summary
Some keyboards don't even have a PrintScreen key anymore! This solves all those problems...
Grab That Video!

Pros
Performs as advertised for capturing Video with Sound.
Cons
Configuration is set for No Audio by default. Not a major deal to figure out the interface then check the Capture Sound box.
Summary
I needed to record a Webinar- Google suggested Camtasia and Replay products, but I really didn't want to spend $40.00 or more for the software. I own other Ashampoo software and have been happy with their stuff, and I vaguely remembered that they had a capture product from a promotional e-mail they sent me a while back. I went to their site and read about Snap 6 which sounded like it would do the job for me. Nice price too: $19.99 For kicks I Googled "Snap 6 coupon" and found a RegNow/DigitalRiver link and bought it for $10.39USD. Such a deal! SUMMARY: Snap 6 is a very useful & functional capture program. My need was to record a Webinar. I was able to define the portion of my screen I wanted to capture and the software worked perfectly. Kudos to Ashampoo for making some very cool software available at a very affordable price! Like anyone else I would have loved to get it for free, but on the other hand the price I paid was extremely reasonable and will hopefully encourage and enable them to develop new offerings. CONFIGURATION NOTE: I'm running Vista Home Premium on a webcam-equipped laptop. After I got Snap 6 to capture the audio as well as the video I discovered the microphone was also being recorded. Had to go to Control Panel to kill the volume on the mic and all is well.
Incredibly useful screen snapshot utility
February 4, 2013
Pros
Full-featured, works well and gets the job done
Cons
Confusing at first. It's not particularly intuitive
Summary
All in all it's a very useful utility but lack of intuitiveness makes it difficult for 1st time users.
