About Snagit
Snagit is TechSmith's screenshot and screen recording tool focused on quick visual communication for teams. Unlike CleanShot (Mac only), Snagit works on both Mac and Windows. The scrolling capture feature grabs entire web pages or documents. Templates create consistent visual documentation. The video recording feature makes short GIF-style demos. Snagit is particularly popular in corporate environments for documenting processes and creating quick how-to visuals. Pricing is $62.99/year.
