    I've been using Help&Manual since V3 and can't live without it. The old Impict graphics annotation tool that came with it used a proprietary format and needed a modern replacement. SnipSVG lives up to the task already and I'm sure that it will be even more useful in just a few weeks or months. Looking forward to it.

    Pros:

    • Vector-based additions like arrows, text etc.
    • Auto-numbering bubbles and other numbered shapes
    • Everything is non-destructive and fully editable when saved as .SNIPX...

    It's easy to use, intuitive and has many extras for the editing of screen shots. The output is vector based and can be edited afterwards.

I have tried several screen capture tools but I have discovered SnipSVG to be the best in its class. Works well on Windows as well as MacOS. It includes many useful and practical features that most users would like to have.

I've been using Help&Manual since V3 and can't live without it. The old Impict graphics annotation tool that came with it used a proprietary format and needed a modern replacement. SnipSVG lives up to the task already and I'm sure that it will be even more useful in just a few weeks or months. Looking forward to it.

Pros:

  • Vector-based additions like arrows, text etc.
  • Auto-numbering bubbles and other numbered shapes
  • Everything is non-destructive and fully editable when saved as .SNIPX - most effects as .SVG also
  • Speedy addition of similar shapes (Shift-Right Click)
  • Can be used standalone but it's also integrated into Help&Manual
  • Rapid bug-fixing and great support from the developers (V1 was released around Feb. 21st 2024 I think)
  • For Free - the tool doesn't cost a dime

Con:

  • Some workflows could use a bit of streamlining like additional keyboard shortcuts when closing temporary tabs. The team is working on it already I heard...

The SVG format is a great option for screenshots, because SVG images are fully scalable!

What is SnipSVG?

SnipSVG is designed to be really simple to use and very fast. Plenty of clever helper functions such as auto-remembered styling and a favorites gallery deliver stunning results with just a few mouse clicks.

When you look a bit deeper, however, you notice that SnipSVG contains a wide range of powerful image editing tools that you don't find in other screen capture applications. Crop screenshots, blur sensitive information, physically resize large photos, add HTML-formatted text.

SVG, SnipSVG's preferred save format, is a vector format that scales seamlessly when zoomed, for example in a web page. It also supports making elements of your screenshots interactive, with scripts and hyperlinks.
