Free, no subscription

A free alternative to
Snagit

Snagit costs from $39 a year and asks for a license key before the first capture. Here the same everyday work is free: area, window and scrolling-page capture, an editor with arrows, step numbers and blur, and a share link that counts views. No account.

What working on a screenshot looks like

What you get without paying

01

No subscription, no key

Snagit is a yearly subscription with a 15-day trial. Here there is nothing to renew: install and capture. No plans, no cap on the number of screenshots.

02

The captures you actually use

Area, window and the whole scrolling page, then arrows, boxes, text, step numbers and blur for an email or a card number. The everyday Snagit workflow, free.

03

A link in one click

Upload puts a short link in the clipboard and the page shows how many times it was opened. No sign-in to share, no cloud plan to pick.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free app like Snagit?
Yes, this one: a Chrome extension plus Windows and macOS apps. Area, window and scrolling full-page capture, arrows, blur, step numbering and a share link with a view counter, free and with no account.
Is it a free program like Snagit?
Yes. Capture, editor, clipboard, file and share link are free. There is no trial that expires and no paid tier.
Does it run on Windows and Mac like Snagit?
Yes: apps for Windows and macOS, plus an extension for Chrome, all with the same editor and hotkeys.
What does Snagit have that this does not?
Video recording, GIF export, a capture library and templates. If you need those, Snagit is the tool; for screenshots, annotations and links you do not need to pay.
Can it capture a scrolling page?
Yes. The page scrolls itself and is stitched into one tall image, like Snagit's panoramic capture.
Do I need an account?
No. Capture, edit, save and upload without an account. Snagit needs a license key and a TechSmith sign-in to share.
Can I keep Snagit installed?
Yes. They are separate apps with different hotkeys and do not interfere with each other.
