Last verified: 2026-08-01
Overview
Snagit is the reference commercial screenshot program for Windows. Its capture window handles region, window, full screen, panoramic and scrolling capture, plus video and animated GIF recording.
The editor is where the licence pays for itself: callouts, step numbering, blur, smart move on captured UI elements, text grab from images, and templates that turn a folder of screenshots into a documentation page.
It suits teams producing training material, product documentation and support articles on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
