What do you like best about Snagit?

I use Snagit daily, both in my work as a trainer and for personal needs. It is an extremely intuitive and powerful tool that allows me to capture, annotate, and share visual content in just a few clicks.

Among the features I particularly appreciate:

arrows and numbers to clarify a capture,

the ability to highlight or blur areas,

and of course, the quick video recording tool, ideal for creating demonstrations or tutorials.

Snagit offers great ease of use while being very comprehensive. It is an excellent program that I highly recommend to anyone needing to document or communicate visually in a clear and effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

These past few days, the quality of the screenshots has decreased, it bothers me and I don't know the reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows you to quickly take screenshots and videos and easily add explanations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

I have the Snagit icon in my taskbar so it's handy to use anytime I need to take a screenshot of something. This can happen at anytime. Sometimes, it's because of a problem with something. Sometimes I need to get a partial shot of one of my PLR documents. Other times, I create help pictures for someone struggling with a program, so they can use it properly. Snagit makes it easy to add text or arrows or callouts so the picture can be as helpful as possible. I probably use it most days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Quite honestly, I can't think of anything. Snagit is a very useful, budget-friendly product and does what I need. What more can you ask? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting a picture of something on my screen, so I can show it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

hot keys enable quick screenshots, then the editor is super easy to highlight areas of interest.

I produce mini user manuals for ERP software, but with Snagit I can create very specific templates with users configuration and not from a Microsoft manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

There is no downside to Snagit. What's the downside to software that makes professional looking documents quick and easy? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

The old Snipping Tool provided by Microsoft would pull screenshots. However, even for that purpose it was clunky. However Snagit enables full feature enhancements that are easy to use. If it were only for the quick hot key that pulls exactly what I want quickly, Snagit alone is far superior. At that point, the user is only beginning to use Snagit's full feature editor menu. I have used PDF editor tools and Snagit does a quicker, more professional edit than most of these tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

More features than a lot of other screen recording softwares.

Without having to use documentation I figured out how to use it both easily and quickly.

Customer service is quick to respond to any questions.

Gives you a lot of different options to edit and create the right kind of videos for the right kind of situations.

When people review your videos they can leave comments that you can reply to, you also get a notifcation in your email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

There is an ecosystem where if you do not have the other subscriptions it can leave you feeling like an incomplete system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I sometimes need to explain complex solutions about an inventory software to clients, and instead of writing it out I send them a video of me doing it and explaining it using snagit. No one has done it before at my company and I have gotten a lot of great feedback about it from both coworkers and clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

Snagit has LOTS of features, from markup and editing to timer delay, video, and audio recording and editing. My favorite new feature is the ability to capture a workflow, and Snagit creates the outline for you. This is incredibly helpful in creating technical documentation.

I have been using it for years, and they release new features regularly. The UI has been consistent, with only minimal changes from version to version, so learning the new features is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

I'm not sure there's anything I dislike. However, I have only been using Snagit for ten years, so maybe at some point there will be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves me a lot of time building technical documentation for end users and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

It is very simple and intuitive, you can take screen shot, video and add anything you need. You can add text, narrows, color, highlights in different colors and this is very helpful for the person who receive the message you are sending, it is easy to use, just copy paste and it is not too heavy.

I use them everyday!! and add screens into emails, files, whatsapp, chats etc. so I really love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Updates, everytime that theres is a new version it is complicated to remove prior version, you get a new one and remove it is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can share information and content very clear, I can highlight what is more important, add text or contexts and more. It is very helpful specially on email and chats. it is more visula for the person who receive the message, better an image than a lor of words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

It is completely hidden behind the scenes most of the time and just jumps out on one keypress when you need it.

It's perfectly integrated into windows. Just hit the "print" Button and you can start taking a capture.

I use it mostly for feedback loops on technical details for my clients. I screenrecord constructions and talk over the video content or I make screenshots with it and edit them in the snagit editor which automatically pops up when you made a screenshot or video.

When ready I can copy paste the content to an email or whatsapp.

Also for technical documentation it's great. I just can take screenshots of details. Mark important areas in with the snagit editor and copy paste this content to my document.

For my own education I frequently use it to make screenrecordings of classes. Sometimes the content is so much that it's good if you can replay some parts of it, for example to follow a tutorial of a teacher.

When you start a screen recording you can easily decide if you would like to record your mic, your cam or just system audio and the screen/window you selected.

For me it was absolutly no effort to impement the workflow of snagit into my daily work.

It is much better than for example snipping tool and has a lot more feature.

I only had a problem one time when my laptop battery ran out of power when I was in a screenrecording.

I was in a hotel room and did not think about the power going off when I take my keycard from the room.

So the recording did not show up in the editor.

The online customer support helped me within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Absolutely nothing. The software does exactly what you would expect it to do and does it with ease and perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes my life much easier for discussing technical details remotly.

I just make a screenshot and mark the detail I want to highlight in the snagit editor that pops up immediatly after taking the capture.

Or I make a videocapture and just talk to the technical details in my construction.

This helps a lot in feedback loops.

I use it also for creating video documentation of the software I'm coding. I host these videos for my clients in the cloud so they can just access them and teach themselfs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

I love the easy editing tools. Whether it's the colored boxes or blurred effects, it makes it easy in a technical setting to show highlight or hide information from your screen. It's also easy to just copy that image into a Teams message or email without saving to your computer's Pictures folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

If I had to pick a downside, is that sometimes it takes a bit of time to capture with SnagIt versus using the Win+Shift+S function that's defaulted in my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are two problems that SnagIt helps with. Number one, the ability to highlight or box important issues in an image for troubleshooting. There's no default app that has tools this readily available and transferrable to different programs on your computer. Number two, the ability to hide information. There are times I work with protected information that can't be omitted from the screenshot, so the blur feature is great for making the screen capture okay to share.

What do you like best about Snagit?

Quick screenshots with video and images, easy-to-access library of past captures, decent annotation features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

It takes quite a bit of processing power. The capture dialog box can lock up for a second or two as you're selecting, and don't even *think* about trying to annotate a large image that you can import from elsewhere - the editor will just fall over and die. There are some misc. quirks with annotations, such as if I'm using the line tool, I can't continue the line from a previous line, because it moves that vertex instead of continuing to draw. There have been some persistent bugs such as Snagit forgetting about my keybinds, or just stopping working until I reboot the computer, though these have been resolved pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snagit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me quickly share, crop, and annotate content, as well as dealing with videos. Videos and internal library are my two biggest selling points over, say, snipping tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Snagit?

I love the ability to capture scrolling screenshots, which is a lifesaver when dealing with long web pages or documents. The built-in editor is intuitive and packed with useful tools, including callouts, arrows, text, and effects that make it easy to highlight key details and communicate clearly.

The screen recording function is another game-changer. It allows you to record high-quality videos with ease, whether for training, documentation, or troubleshooting. I'm always using this in when testing new releases and it makes it easy to capture bugs.

Also I love that I can easily send screenshots or videos to Google drive or slack for easy sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Snagit for documentation and training documents. It makes it super simple to add any components like step bubbles to documents to guide a user journey Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
