Snagit for Mac

  -  236 MB  -  Trial
Visuals help clarify your message and get you hours back in your work day. Snagit for Mac is the premium tool for screen capture and screen recording on Windows and Mac. Combining traditional screenshots, videos, and image editing to help you share important information with the people who need it most.

Snagit’s image and video capture is powerful, but not complex. You’re in control of everything you capture, right down to the pixel. All-in-One Capture® grabs your entire desktop, a region, a window, or a scrolling window from any webpage or application—all with a single hotkey or click.

Showing team members is a lot easier than telling them. The apphas a dynamic editor that lets you turn plain screenshots or screengrabs into clear, concise communication. Comment over screenshots using text boxes. Point out your ideas with arrows and shapes. Or simply highlight key areas. And Snagit's toolbar is completely customizable so all of your favorite tools stay front and center.

Context is everything. Recording a video lets the person on the other end actually hear your voice. So the next time a webpage, PDF, or video edit is sent to you for feedback, consider dropping the red pen and record a video instead. With Snagit for macOS 2024, there’s no waiting. You can record your video, and share it within seconds.

Features and Highlights

Tame your inbox
Leave coworkers and clients wondering how you responded so quickly. Reply with marked up images and quick videos rather than text to drastically reduce your email back-and-forth.

Save time
Visuals are vital to online communication. Images and videos let you clearly get your point across so you can spend less time communicating and more time getting work done.

Capture key information
Save pieces from online articles, web pages, or documents. Highlight and take notes on top of your capture, organize your research by keyword, and share out crucial information.

Scrolling capture
Quickly capture a full-page screenshot even if it's not showing on the screen. Grab the horizontal, vertical, or entire scrolling area with just a click.

Panoramic capture
Capture wide, horizontal scrolls, infinitely scrolling webpages, and everything in between. Capture once, instead of taking individual captures and manually editing them together.

Animated GIF
Turn any short recording into an animated GIF. Perfect for showing off quick tasks and workflows.

Note: 30 days trial version. Requires 64-bit processor.
