Quickly Capture Your Screen

Snagit helps you quickly capture anything on your screen. Learn how to customize an image capture and share it directly to favorite programs and applications.

The capture window

Initiate a capture from the capture window, which contains three tabs: Image, Video, and All-in-One. The tabs allow you to pick particular capture settings and make things happen even faster. All-in-One is a flexible option, but if you know the type of capture you want, you can always choose the Image or Video tab.

To start your capture, click the red Capture button.
