Snagit Reviews & Product Details

I use Snagit daily for documentation, creating quick how‑to guides, capturing screenshots for clients, and recording videos that demonstrate bugs or workflows to development teams. One of my favorite features is the capture window and how customizable it is depending on what I need to show. The Text Grab tool is especially valuable—it saves me significant time when I need to extract text from software screens or PDFs where copying and pasting isn’t possible.

Snagit is extremely easy to implement; it installs quickly, and the interface is intuitive even for new users. I’ve been using it for several years across different roles and companies, and it has consistently fit into my workflow without any issues. Any time I want to learn a new feature, the built-in tutorials and support documentation make the process very straightforward. Overall, Snagit is one of the few tools I recommend without hesitation—it’s genuinely a 10/10 for productivity, reliability, and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don’t have any major dislikes. The tool performs exactly as expected, and updates have consistently improved functionality without disrupting workflow. If anything, I sometimes wish there were even more editing features built directly into the app, but the existing feature set is more than sufficient for my needs.

Snagit is probably our go-to tool for capturing screens and creating quick, polished visuals for client documentation and training materials. I love how it does a lot more than basic screenshots and has noticeably sped up how I explain processes.

What I liked:

The capture options are excellent, especially scrolling capture and quick video recording with system audio for short walkthroughs.

The built-in editor is surprisingly powerful but still easy to use. I can add callouts, arrows, step numbers, and blur sensitive info without opening another design tool.

It's fast enough to keep up with real-time collaboration. When I'm on a call with clients or developers and need to show them exactly what I mean, Snagit doesn't slow me down.

Templates and presets make creating consistent, branded documentation effortless once you set them up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new subscription model is a drawback. It used to be a one-time purchase, and I'm not thrilled with the ongoing fee.

If you only take the occasional screenshot, the price feels high compared to free built-in tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a wide range of options that you can do with your screenshot. It also has the best option for you if you need a different set of types of screenshots often. For example, if you need scrolling, region, or a quick video recording, or something like that, or a screenshot that needs to be numbered, definitely the best option's all around. It is straightforward to install. Customer support is there, and they have numerous types of tutorials available on their website. I use this program almost daily, numerous times a day. The Windows version does seem to have a lot more options, or at least easier to find. I use this program with all my stuff, and it's pretty straight-forward to use. It does not integrate into other programs. It's kind of more of a stand-alone, but it does mesh well with its sister programs from the same company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little bit of a learning curve, and it's not always easy to copy-paste a screenshot that you've just taken. You need to go through a couple of steps in order to pull your screenshot to share right away. There are many options to share from one app to another, but if you need to take your screenshot and convert it to a JPG or a PNG, it does take 2-3 clicks. The other downside is that you can't use Snagit on mobile, or transfer files, or have your collection of files between devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work as a Dietician and Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and create health education content. In my daily work, I deal with diet charts, lab reports, and patient forms, and Snagit helps me explain these clearly using annotated screenshots. Instead of long explanations or repeated calls, I can simply mark important areas or instructions on an image, which saves time and avoids confusion.

Snagit is easy to use and quick to set up, so it fits smoothly into my daily workflow without any technical effort. I use it regularly during clinic work and while preparing educational content. The features are simple but sufficient for my needs, such as adding arrows, highlights, and notes. When I open a saved case image later, everything is already explained on the image, so I can understand the key points immediately. I also use Snagit occasionally for short screen recordings when teaching students online or explaining specific steps, which works well for quick explanations without creating full length videos.

There isn’t much to dislike about Snagit for my kind of work. Overall, it fits well into my daily routine. The only small issue I notice is that when I handle many screenshots, the library can feel a bit crowded and needs some time to organize. Also, for very quick captures, it can feel slightly slower than a basic screenshot shortcut. Apart from these minor points, it works smoothly and supports my work well.

Great features that work well

1-time fee that lasts forever if you want it to

Well known company with commitment to excellence

It beats the competition every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SnagIt is software that you install in your local environment, and as such, it used to cost a 1-time fee for purchasing the software + a guarantee of 1 major version update. Fast forward to today - I'm apparently now required to subscribe to SnagIt annually. Apparently, no one cares anymore about the diff between a local software installation that doesn't require a cloud connection (and so doesn't cost them a thing after I download and install) vs one that requires ongoing services. In any case, they've joined the sub trend and I've jumped ship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use to take pictures or videos of my screen whether it is part of my screen or the entire screen. I tend to use it every day. I never really had to call customer support as it is straightforward to use. There are probably more features that I have not used so I look forward to exploring them once I get the time.

I bought a lifetime subscription in 2022, and since then, Snagit has become my daily companion for taking screenshots and recording videos. I really enjoy using it, and it helps me work more efficiently. The software is very easy to use, and while the editing tools are somewhat limited, they are still effective and quick. The quality of the saved files is good. I also find the audio input and output settings particularly useful, as they can be adjusted even after a recording has already started.

After my first year of subscription, I was informed that future updates would no longer be saved on my device. Since receiving this notice, I have experienced some lags and glitches, particularly when recording. The app occasionally fails to record videos properly, and sometimes it only captures completely frozen frames. Usually, force quitting and restarting the app resolves the issue.

It is easy & quick to use, and good thing is the variety of tools for format the screenshot in all possible way, also third party tool are easy to integrate, region capture feature is one of the best in the segment, it's customer support documents are very helpful, and their how-to video guide is also good, I can easily implement few of my required to with it, so I am using it for last 1 year, and I am enjoying it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If possible then they can make less navigation step for some advance feature, otherwise overall it is god Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its scrolling capture is the feature that keeps me hooked, grabbing a full webpage or long chat conversation in one clean sweep is extremely helpful. The annotation tools are also essential, I can slap arrows, callouts and stamps on a screenshot in seconds and the results look polished without needing to open Photoshop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a bit high especially since they moved to a subscription model. I get it though, but dropping $60+ annually for a tool that feels like it should be a one-time purchase is a bit tough. The video editor is also pretty basic, fine for quick trims but you'll hit its limits fast if you need anything beyond simple cuts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Snagit is how intuitive and efficient it makes capturing and editing screenshots or videos. The ability to instantly annotate, highlight, and share visuals has saved me countless hours in training and documentation projects. It’s especially helpful for creating clean, branded visuals without needing advanced design tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s not much to dislike, but I do wish Snagit’s interface for video editing was a bit more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
