SnipTool (DotNET screenshooter)

#1 Post by Midas »

I looked and found no mention of SnipTool (http://www.reasyze.com/sniptool), an easy to grasp and use while still full featured screen capture utility, with a theme-able UI and a diminutive executable footprint (575kb).

Unfortunately, although the dev provides a no-install ZIP archive, SnipTool is not natively portable, as it saves its settings to '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Snipping'.

DotNET requirement is v4 according to the homepage.

Sniptool is a screen capture tool that lets you capture one or more selected areas on your desktop and save it with optional annotations. You can combine multiple captures into one canvas and add text, arrows, number bullets and shapes to annotate your capture. There is also an option to blur parts of the image for privacy.

Download SnipTool latest version (currently v1.4) from http://www.reasyze.com/sniptool.

Good post.

The ability to paste multiple captures into one canvas and then add annotations is a great addition that I haven't seen elsewhere. I keep trying to make a go of that with whiteboard or presentation tools (like LibreOffice Impress or PowerPoint) to enable comparison images or before-and-after views, but something built into the software would be faster and easier.

I'm perpetually testing and using screenshot tools so I came back to an update on this program back in April.

* The watermark functionality is really smart. I've messed with a dozen different versions of this and it's easily the best.
* The highlighter tools are excellent
* Really wish this program had a hover-over for some elements of the editor screen. I had a hard time wrapping my mind around some of the interface elements. They're present for the bottom bar, but not the top bar and I'm STILL confused what some of those icons do.

The GIF and video recording tools appear to require FFMPEG and you have to download it -- doesn't look like there's a way to point to a local copy of the (rather large) toolset.

I do also want to point out there are some other really solid-looking free image tools that I'd love to test on the website including a batch editor https://www.reasyze.com/batch-image-resize/ and collage maker https://www.reasyze.com/shapex/
