You can save screen snags in four formats: It’s humble but don’t be fooled, this little program packs a lot of power beneath it’s austere appearance. Now look at the Snipping Tool: it’s not ostentatious. It’s limited options makes it easy to use.You don’t have to install another program.

Because although the Snipping Tool is pretty basic, I actually think it beats its competitors because: It’s not perfect but it’s pretty good for freeware.īut I don’t want to talk about SnagIt or PicPic here. You can even upload images to an FTP server after taking your snaps. There’s a magnifier, protractor and full featured effects for cropping, blurring, and adjusting color balance. Not only does it let you take full screen and regional screenshots but it also includes an image editor, color picker and pixel ruler for pixel perfect accuracy.

PicPic is a really good free alternative to Snagit. I don’t know about you, but my screenshots aren’t worth that much to me especially when all I want to do is take a screenshot.īut the best things in life don’t always have to cost so much. It even includes integrated video recording features but also costs a stratospheric $50 dollars. It let’s you paste in stamps, center the canvas, zoom around and create error free callouts with built in spell-checking. SnagIt is everything you could ask for in a screenshot program and more. It’s a great way to capture ( snip) anything on the screen so you can markup, save and share it.īefore the Snipping Tool stepped on the scene, Windows users had to purchase third-party screenshoot tools such as TechSmith’s SnagIt. The Windows Snipping Tool was introduced in Vista and lives strong through the Windows 7 and 8 product editions.
