TechSmith Launches Snagit 13

New version of image capture tool helps businesses save time by replacing meetings and emails with new features, including GIFs and on-demand video

OKEMOS, Mich. – June 7, 2016 – Today, TechSmith Corporation announces the launch of Snagit 13 for PC and Snagit 4 for Mac, providing users with a fast and easy way to capture and share information in a visual way. With new features that include panoramic scrolling, GIF creation and webcam capture, Snagit is the perfect tool for making communications more engaging, no matter who is using it, whether that is teachers, marketing and sales executives or IT professionals.

According to a study by Radicati Group, the average employee sends and receives 122 emails a day, which can often result in overflowing inboxes and the majority of the working day being spent behind a desk trying to manage this. Snagit 13 for Windows and Snagit 4 for Mac help alleviate the pressure by enabling users to communicate quickly through images and videos instead; this provides an alternative, more engaging way to communicate, and enables employees to step away from their desk and take part in other activities. By providing images with annotations, users can quickly and easily explain issues, provide a report to a client or communicate technical information without the need for text-heavy explanation.

The new Snagit 13 features include:

• New design for the capture tool, including an innovative panoramic scrolling capture that lets users capture images tall or wide
• Updated editor that increases user efficiency in the tool, as well as a new crop and text tool
• New animated GIF functionality, allowing users to create a GIF from a video recording
• Improved image stability, which improves performance when dealing with images with 10 or more items on the canvas
• New callout shapes, magnifying tool and updated stamps, providing more personalization to anything a user snags
• New webcam feature, with the ability to toggle between webcam and screen video when recording
• Redesigned video capabilities, allowing users to capture and create videos without being a video pro

As well as benefitting from many of the new headline features for Snagit 13, Snagit 4 for Mac also provides optimised features that bring it closer in parity with the existing Windows version. These include capture presents and a library with basic metadata and tagging.

“The latest release of Snagit allows for what we’re calling ‘Personalized Productivity’ for every profession,” said Daniel Foster, Snagit strategy lead at TechSmith. “People produce and consume information differently today. They expect communication to be rapid, personalized, and visually appealing. Snagit 13 and 4 allow users to easily grab, create and share the information that matters most in a fun, familiar manner—reducing time-wasting emails and meetings so professionals can focus on moving the business forward.”

Available today, the latest version of Snagit costs $49.95 and can be downloaded by visiting www.techsmith.com/snagit.html. Existing Snagit customers can upgrade to the latest version for $24.95 and by visiting http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-upgrade.html.
