Cut Out Tool
Delete a vertical or horizontal section from an image.
Note: Snagit tools are only available for image captures. Share your video to TechSmith Camtasia to enhance it with annotations and effects.
The Cut Out tool removes a horizontal or vertical section in the image. To remove an area that does not span the entire width or height of the image, use the Selection tool.
- Click the Cut Out tool in the Snagit Editor toolbar.
Note: If the tool is not visible in the toolbar, click the More dropdown. To customize your toolbar, see Customize the Snagit Toolbar.
- Select a Quick Style to determine the direction and edge style of the cut.
- A line appears on the Canvas. Click and drag on the image to select the area to remove.
Note: For Cut Out quick styles with straight edges, Snagit seamlessly stitches the sections together. For other edge styles, Snagit leaves a gap. The size of the gap is not editable.
- When you are finished with the Cut Out tool, click the Move tool to select, move, edit, or delete objects you added to your image.
