Simple enough to remember and you can customise them if you prefer. Snagit will let you capture pictures and video and you use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl + shift + c for pictures, or ctrl + shift + v for video. Already, I’m hiding it and using the icon that appears in the menu bar, but it is good to have the choice! You can drag it up and down the edge of your screen, move it over to the left, undock it or hide it altogether. This is the Capture Window, and it hides itself neatly away when not in use.

The first time you launch Snagit after installing, you are greeted with a prompt that appears at the right-hand edge of your screen. It is available for both Mac and PC and you can download a trial version here on the TechSmith website. LittleSnapper – Really easy naming and tagging of images within the app.īut, Snagit seems to have a more complete feature set that has been designed to meet the needs of people wanting to make screen captures with simplicity in mind.Snapz Pro X – being able to resize the capture (with measurements) before taking it and the handy hex colour identifier.OS X Grab – I often use it for a quick measurement, using the crosshair realtime pixel count to check styling on a website for example.

All of these have their plus points or little features that I like:

There’s a similar story to my testing process here I’ve used the native OS X Grab app, Snapz Pro X and my long-term favourite, LittleSnapper. Since my recent testing and use of Camtasia:mac, I’ve been trying out another product for screen capture on a Mac – Snagit, by the same company who make Camtasia. I’ve just been demoing Snagit screen capture software by TechSmith, makers of Camtasia, and felt another software review was in order! Which do I prefer in the Snagit vs LittleSnapper capture war?
