SnagIt Screen Capture vs. Print Screen Key

The Print Screen key has been around as long as the PC. Over time, PCs have continued to evolve, and so have your capture needs, but the Print Screen key hasn't improved. In contrast, SnagIt has kept pace with you, offering unmatched convenience and ease of use, and lifting away the barriers of the Print Screen key.

SnagIt is more flexible than the Print Screen key

With the Print Screen key, you have two choices: capture the entire desktop or a single window. With SnagIt you can capture any portion of the screen, so you can be as precise or as broad as you want to be with your captures.

SnagIt is more powerful than the Print Screen key

The Print Screen key only captures images. But, SnagIt lets you also capture text in an editable format from any window, record movies of your computer activity, or capture all of the graphics from a Web site in just one step.

Editing is built into SnagIt

You have to use a separate editing tool when you capture with the Print Screen key. But the captures you take with SnagIt can also be edited right inside of SnagIt. Using SnagIt’s powerful, built-in editor, you can draw, paint, shade, annotate, and add stamps, callouts and other clip art. You can apply artistic edge effects, borders and even change the perspective angle to create professional-quality images.

See the difference for yourself.
