Cut Out Tool
Delete a vertical or horizontal section from an image.
Note: If edits have been made to the image, Snagit asks you to flatten the image to use the Cut Out tool. When you flatten an image, you make previous changes uneditable.
Cut Out Horizontal or Vertical Space
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.
- To turn off the Cut Out tool, click to select a different tool in the toolbar. We recommend the Move tool or Favorites.
Note: For Cut Out quick styles with straight edges, Snagit seamlessly stitches the sections together. For other edge styles, Snagit leaves a gap.
- To reduce the gap in an area that you already cut out, select and use the Horizontal or Vertical style within the cut out area.
- On Mac, to increase the gap in an area that you already cut out, select and use the Add Horizontal Space or Add Vertical Space style within the cut out area.
Add Horizontal or Vertical Space (Mac Only)
On Snagit for Mac, add horizontal or vertical space to images with Cut Out tool Quick Styles.
- Click the Cut Out tool in the Snagit Editor toolbar.
- In the Quick Styles panel, select the Add Horizontal Space or Add Vertical Space option.
- A line appears on the canvas. Click and drag on the image to select the amount of space in pixels to add.
