SnagIt Screen Capture - capture, edit, and share anything you see on your PC screen.

Capture Anything

Edit and Transform

Share Easily

With SnagIt, capturing anything on your screen is just a few clicks away. SnagIt is easy to use but powerful enough to handle all of your custom screen capture and editing tasks.

This brief review of just a few of SnagIt's most commonly used screen capture modes can help you choose the best one for the task at hand:

Select a specific rectangular region of the screen that you want to capture. Quickly capture an image, or part of a Web page, to edit and share.

Capture all of the contents of any window or Web page that has a scrollbar. SnagIt automatically scrolls the window during the screen capture, so you get all of the images and text in the window. This capture mode is perfect for saving those long articles you find online for easy reference later.

Capture a single menu or cascading (multiple-layer) menus from Windows applications. This mode is particularly valuable for those who work in technical support or documentation.

Capture a short video of your own desktop activity. With SnagIt in this mode, you can make quick tutorial videos to share with others.

Capture text from your screen — especially text that you can't easily copy and paste. Using this mode, you can also capture file lists from Windows Explorer, and the lists become editable. This is a convenient technique for creating lists of tracks from CDs that you have stored digitally, for example.

Enter a URL and automatically capture all of the images, video and audio files from a Web site. In this screen capture mode, you can also choose the file types (.doc, .ppt, .xls, etc.) you want to download from the site.

SnagIt offers other, more advanced, screen capture types as well.

Choosing the screen capture options for complex tasks can be time-consuming. But, if you use a certain combination of screen capture settings often, you can save them in a custom profile. There are a few default profiles installed with SnagIt to get you started, and it's easy to create new ones. You can even assign a keyboard (hotkey) combination to each of your screen capture profiles, keeping your most common captures right at your fingertips.

If you know before you take your screen captures that you want them to have a particular border or a certain resolution, you can select these options from SnagIt's Effects menu before you take the screen capture. Then, after capture, the effects will be automatically applied. This is a great way to quickly get a consistent look across repeated screen captures.

SnagIt offers a few additional screen capture options to make the capture process easier and to help you explain things more clearly. These options allow you to:

• Include the cursor in your screen capture to show a viewer where to click
• Set up a time-delayed screen capture
• Keep the links on a Web page screen capture intact
• Select multiple areas to capture
• Turn the Preview Window on or off

SnagIt's powerful Editor lets you crop, resize, adjust color, add text and apply custom effects to your screen capture without ever opening another editing application.

Use SnagIt Editor's Paint Tools to enhance your screen capture with

• Arrows
• Lines
• Shapes
• Callouts
• Cursors
• Stamps
• Text

SnagIt lets you customize your screen captures with professional effects, including

• Edge effects, like drop shadow, torn edge, wave edge, saw edge, sharktooth edge, and beveled edge
• Image processing effects, like sharpen, blur, and emboss
• Magnify, spotlight, and dim
• Perspective and shear
• Borders
• Watermarks

If the color or size of your original screen capture isn't quite right, you can make adjustments easily in SnagIt Editor. With features like crop, trim, resize, color substitution and correction, halftone and grayscale, changing the color and size properties of your screen capture is painless.

Adding interactivity to your screen captures makes them more engaging and informative. Add a clickable link on your screen capture that takes your viewer to a specific Web page. Or, create a Flash hotspot that displays text or a graphic when hovered over. This is the perfect way to include more information without cluttering up the capture.

With SnagIt's helpful batch conversion wizard, you can convert all of the images in a project to the same file type, give them same look, or make them all the same size, in an instant.

SnagIt makes it easy to share your screen capture in print, by e-mail or IM, or on the Web. This section describes just a few of the many ways you can share your screen captures using SnagIt.
