Snagit 2020 Review:
This is new in Snagit 2020:
Combine images
In Snagit, you select multiple images and merge them into one easy-to-use document.
Favourites
The Favorites feature allows you to collect your favourite tools in one place.
Simplifying the tool
Now you can quickly and easily convert your screenshots into simplified images.
Snagit Features:
All-in-One Capture®
Set the area you want to capture by clicking and dragging the reticle and you will get the perfect screenshot. With All-in-One Capture® you can capture the entire screen, an area or a scrolling window - as an image or as a video.
Scrolling screen
Capture a scrolling page completely as one image. Capture vertical and horizontal scrolling areas, endlessly scrolling web pages, long chats and more.
enter the text
Snagit captures much more than just images. The Capture Text feature magically extracts text from your screenshots or image files. The recognized text can be inserted into other documents for further editing. This makes your work faster and saves you the time of endless typing.
Screen video recorder
Go through the steps on the screen and record yourself. Use individual frames from your video recording as screenshots. Record video, audio and music from the Internet and save all videos in MPEG-4 file format or as an animated GIF file.
Record Webcam
Switch between webcam and screen recording during video recording. Use the VCR to personalize communication with teammates or clients in remote locations.
Recording Audio
Enrich your videos with the sound of a microphone or the audio output of your computer.
Create animated GIF files
Convert short recordings (in MP4 file format) to animated GIF files and quickly embed them on websites, documents or chats. Snagit offers standard and custom options to create exactly the GIF file you need have - every time.
Trim video clips Remove unwanted passages from your screen recordings. You can cut out parts at the beginning, middle and end of your video.
