The ultimate screen capture tool. With Snagit’s capture, edit, organize and share technology… it’s easy to create engaging visuals that grab attention and keep it. Let images do the talking for you.
Use Snagit to capture any image you want straight off your computer screen. Enhance with transparency, callouts, and other effects to turn a simple screen shot into an eye-grabbing visual. Easily organize your images and use them again and again for other projects. Then show off your Snagit creations to anyone. Just add them to your documents and presentations… or share using your favorite applications.
It doesn’t take much to explain a concept or an idea with Snagit. The images you create do the talking. And the more you use Snagit, the more ways you’ll find to use it!
Tried all of those including PickPick. Snagit has them all beat, in all areas, most importantly in terms of convenience & flexibility.

i still haven't found a successor to snagit over the years, and i've tried a lot of them. some have been really quite good, but none have made the process so easy and added (light-enough) features that are helpful for enhancing the captures easily.
the only thing that truly bothers me about snagit, is that i cannot take screenshots in some games while playing them. i simply have to turn off the program and use the generic windows built-in screen capture to get around this annoyance. this really isn't much of an inconvenience if you're using steam, though, which implements its own screenshot system nicely. that really is the only thing i don't like about it.
i should add though, as many software publishers do, techsmith has been adding bloatware and bloated useless features while at the same time removing some quite useful ones over the years and versions. i will NOT upgrade to a newer version because of this. i have stayed at version 10 and have trying going up and down in versions to find that this is the best version for me. so as long as i stick with this version - i get the features and responsiveness i need, and haven't found the need for moving to another product.
if anyone can recommend one that does all the things that snagit 10 can do essentially, i would be happy to hear about it. to techsmith: it really has been getting worse and worse. if i were to review the latest few versions of snagit, i would definitely give it a negative review, but when i look at version 10 in particular, it really is the best for my needs.

I have been using snag it for over 5 years now. So far it was always my favorite tool to take screenshots and edit/comment them.
Since the last update, snag it got really bad. The performance is very slow and the editor it self crashed very often. Also using snag it with 4k screens got nearly impossible.

This program is excellent. I've tried ShareX but this one is robust and intuitive. Does image and audio recordings, screen captures, annotations. I got a free copy from my university, but it's worth the money.

Still waiting for the Techsmith/Linux foray with Snagit. As of 11/2019, this should give us a clue as to how that is progressing. This search for the term "LINUX" on Techsmith.com this morning:

Guess the alternatives app can't handle a snagit share.. oh well. The response from Techsmith search engine when I entered LINUX was "Did you mean 'links'"

Snagit has a lot of power baked into a non-intrusive, easy to use interface.

Very long time user of SnagIt, and sorry to say that it's just gotten worse and worse over time. It went from a 5 star app to a 3 star app, at best. Seems like ever since they updated the GUI to the sort of "Material" look (which I normally like), it's just not as good. Too buggy and unreliable now, less easy access to the buttons you customize on the toolbar, etc.
The bug fixes and new releases are very few and far between, the dev team isn't very responsive to feedback (and actually getting the things requested/bugs pointed out) done.
It's gotten to the point that I'm actually starting to seek out a better alternative, which is why I am here right now. ShareX is feature loaded, but it still looks like a Win98 app, and it's dev is also not real responsive (actually, a bit hostile and irritable at times, lol) to suggestions, so it's off the list.
as Title suggests
It is the best in its category to similar apps like
ShareX
Greenshot
Shutter
LightShot
Nimbus Note
to which I've all tested
