SnagIt: The 3 best alternatives

SnagIt is a successful program on a large scale. Nevertheless, there are free alternatives, some of which offer even more functions. You can find out which programs these are in our article.

SnagIt Alternative 1: Gyazo

Gyazo is a screen capture software that focuses on good speed and the ability to upload. Since Gyazo is open source and many developers are involved, the software is of high quality.

• Gyazo is open source software and therefore free of charge. However, there are regular updates.
• With Gyazo you can take a screenshot of the desired area with just one click. If you save screenshots frequently, it is very helpful.
• On request, the screenshots can even be uploaded directly. You can then send them to other people using a link created by you.
• Although Gyazo can offer a very fast workflow, you do not need additional functions such as editing screenshots.
• You can download Gyazo here.

SnagIt alternative 2: ezvid

Ezvid already offers more features. Here you can edit and edit your screenshots as you wish. A video capture function is also included. Another big advantage is that ezvid is completely free.

• Ezvid offers all the features that you can get from SnagIt. Added to this are advanced video functions.
• The video recording lets you create and edit extensive videos. We'll show you how this works in detail here.
• As a disadvantage, ezvid only uploads videos to a linked YouTube account. Furthermore, your videos will be provided with a small animation from the company ezvid. However, this has no influence on the screenshot tool.
• In our gallery you can find out how videos are created with ezvid.

SnagIt alternative 3: Jing

Jing is characterized by its ease of use and support for Mac OS. You get intuitive features and a video recording function. Jing is also completely free of charge.

• You can choose whether you want to save your screenshots and films locally or use the free web space. You have to register for this during the installation.
• The video recording works very well, but is limited to five minutes. This may seem brief at first, but should be enough for most purposes.
• Jing's features are very simple and don't offer much editing. Here SnagIt clearly has the edge. But Jing is completely free for that.
• You can also find Jing in our download area.
