Sue Chastain, About.com, August 2006

Greg Steen, Microsoft TechNet, August 2006

The Record

"TechSmith's recently released SnagIt Version 8, and it just glows"

Peter Grad, The Record, February 2006


Builder Online

"Until recently, whenever custom builder Alan Banks needed to point out a feature in building plans or share comments and notes with a client or architect he had to print out or copy the plans, enlarge the area under discussion, write his notes on the page, and fax it over to the recipient. But with TechSmith's SnagIt screen-capture software he can simply select anything on his computer desktop - an image, text, video, Web page, or drop-down menu - and turn it into a file that can be emailed."

Stephani L. Miller, Builder Online, January 2006


Education World

"The best software we introduced this year has been Techsmith's SnagIt," said Art Lader. "Our teachers have been using it to create high-quality screen captures (both static and animated) for their students. I have been using it to do the same for my colleagues. SnagIt is inexpensive, easy to use and instantly improves teacher productivity."

Linda Starr, Education World, January 2006

2005


San Francisco Chronicle

Several screen-capture programs have scrolling features that let you capture part or all of a long document or Web page...I've found that SnagIt gives you a little more control for precisely selecting the portion of a document or Web page you want to capture.

David Einstein, San Francisco Chronicle, December 2005


PC World - Newsletter

SnagIt, the Screen Capture Winner. I do so many screen captures, I need an industrial-strength product--which is why I use SnagIt. SnagIt provides unlimited ways to grab screens. Each method can be saved as a profile and assigned to a hot key.

Steve Bass, PC World - Newsletter, December 2005

SnagIt helps you take advantage of this age-old wisdom by changing the way you communicate with your co-workers, friends and family.

Linda Epstein, TabletPc2.com, December 2005


SmallBizPipeline

There are dozens of screen-capture programs. We like SnagIt from TechSmith (http://www.techsmith.com) because of its built-in annotation tools and the special effects you can add (drop shadows, for example) to the captured image.

Jim Powell, SmallBizPipeline, December 2005


Jake Ludington Media Blab logo (graphic)

TechSmith's SnagIt remains my favorite tool for taking screenshots and tweaking the images. If you want to effectively present static screenshots on your Web pages, this is a must have for more effective communication of ideas.

Jake Ludington, MediaBlab, September 3, 2005


LifeHacker logo (graphic)

...I decided to see what the latest version had to offer. The first thing that struck me was the new interface—beautifully designed…

Multimedia & Internet Tools logo (graphic)

Using this tool will save you time in creating step-by-step tutorials, adding screen shots to your presentation programs, and organizing your images for future reference. SnagIt is highly recommended.

Linda Joseph, Multimedia & Internet @ Schools Magazine, July 1, 2005


Meryl logo (graphic)

As a writer and tech writer, I find SnagIt is one of the more valuable resources...

...one of the best kept secrets used by software designers

David Radin, Pittsburg Post-Gazette, May 4, 2005


MustHaveSoftware.net logo (graphic)

SnagIt is a multi featured capture tool. It has an exceptionally well-designed interface and workflow. It is packaged with comprehensive options for capturing, standardizing, and adding effects to images. It has the bundled tools of a powerful vector-based image editor and file management utility.

MustHaveSoftware.net, April 26, 2005


Writers UA logo (graphic)

SnagIt is, in my view, probably the most full-featured of the capture tools...it's also very easy to use thanks to a well-designed interface and workflow.

Matthew Ellison, Writers' UA, April 21, 2005


Jake Ludington's Media Blab logo (graphic)

SnagIt is the only screen capture tool I'll ever use. The editing features rock!

Jake Ludington, Mediablab, April 4, 2005


ShareWare Junkies logo (graphic)

SnagIt is without a doubt the most useful graphics and multimedia tool that there is. Not only that it is easy to use and the price is right.

Joe Tex, SharewareJunkies, April 4, 2005


MegaByteMinute logo (graphic)

The tried and true PrintScreen and ALT+Printscreen seems good enough to get a screencapture - why complicate things with a special utility? Well, SnagIt supplies three good reasons - versatility, magnifier and post processing aids. Every operation is simple, fast, reliable. Street price for SnagIt 7, Windows only - $40. Case closed.

David Radin, MegaByteMinute,

...products I love: SnagIt, a screen capture and editing tool...

Steve Bass, PC World, March 23, 2005


Cadalyst Magazine

Most CAD managers function as a corporate CAD training department while at the same time keeping the CAD department running. Because I've advocated targeted training that solves your company's specific problems, you can't go to your local bookstore and buy a training workbook. That means that you must create your own training materials. Before you panic, here are some ways to easily create quality handout materials. Learn more about my favorite software tools, Camtasia and SnagIt ...

Robert Green, Cadalyst Magazine, March 2005

SnagIt is the silent power behind the screenshots you see in this column. I've also cut down on my tech support turnaround times by sending in SnagIt captures of error messages.

Laura Blackwell, PC World, Jan 3, 2005


 

2004


SnagIt enables Windows PC users to capture part or all of a screen display, edit, annotate, draw on it, and then print or e-mail it. I use SnagIt often on my PC. Without it, I would feel deprived of an important capability.

Linda Knapp, Seattle Times, December 25, 2004

SnagIt's abilities to capture text and video as well as images on screen make it more useful than the term screen capture suggests.

Laura Blackwell, PC World, July 6, 2004


Presenters University logo (graphic)

I think SnagIt is a fabulous product - and it does so much more than what one can even expect. It's priced right and TechSmith does have a nice upgrade policy.

Geetesh Bajaj, Presenters University, June 24, 2004


O'Reilly Windows Dev Center logo (graphic)

Need to capture a screen in Windows? Forget about the built-in Print Screen function... Get SnagIt, the best tool you'll find for capturing and printing screens.

Ron White, WindowsDevCenter.com, June 8, 2004


Graphics Unleashed logo (graphic)

For those that have to use screen captures often, this is one of those indispensable tools that should be every artist's, writer's and graphic designer's arsenal. The practicle uses are numerous. If you need to capture a screen image, and who does not, this is an excellent utility.

Kurt von Behrmann, Graphics Unleashed,
June 7, 2004


Epinions Logo (graphic)

SnagIt 7 is a great program for screen capturing. It has helped me to produce instructional videos for employees and computer-challenged parents. It has also helped me to speed up image capture from the web, and has some very nice alternatives for editing your images in the editor and the studio. All of this is on top of the ever-useful screen capture, adding up to a great value for $40.Epinions logo (graphic)
