Snagit also automatically puts captures into the editor, eliminating the extra step of finding and loading the new file you created. And more than that, you don’t have to bounce between multiple programs. Why would you pay $49.95 for something that you could ostensibly do with the Print Screen button?īecause Snagit just kind of does it better. Not to mention any kind of arrows, notes, resizing, and effects could be done in any of those as well. We can resize images easily in Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, whatever. After all, MacOS has Grab, and Windows has the Snipping Tool. And because of being branded that way, a lot of folks (myself included) didn’t see what the big deal was. If you’re a blogger and haven’t checked out Snagit yet, I am going to tell you why you should at least give it a look. But when you use it for a bit, you will see it’s a bit more than that. At its base, Snagit is screen capture software. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Snagit has made my daily routine more efficient three times over, if not more.
