About

FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, yet full-featured screen capture tool and screen video recorder. It allows you to easily capture and annotate anything on the screen including windows, objects, menus, full screen, rectangular / freehand / fixed regions as well as scrolling windows / web pages. It also allows you to record all screen activities including onscreen changes, speech from microphone, audio from speakers, mouse movements and clicks into highly compressed video files. You can choose to send captures to editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, OneNote / Word / Excel / PowerPoint document or upload them to your website. Editing tools include annotating (texts, arrowed lines, highlights), resizing, cropping, sharpening, watermarking, applying edge effects and many more. Other features include image scanning, global hotkeys, automatic filename generation, support for external editors, a color picker, a screen magnifier, a screen crosshair and a screen ruler.

About

SnipSVG is a screen capture and graphics editor that uses SVG vector images as its primary format. It 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. SnipSVG is free and available for both Windows and macOS. It's a must-have for every IT worker on both platforms.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1) Pricing. No subscriptions. Fixed low price ($19.95 lifetime license). 2) Consistent behaviour through generations of versions - no UI suprises. 3) Been around for years 4) Very configurable hotkeys, etc. 5) Built in, post-capture, full window editor. 6) Stable product.

Cons

  • 6) Build a MacOS version PLEASE!! 7) Take a hard, hard look at MacOS's built in screen capture tool. This is the gold standard. Now build in the post-capture, full window editor. Port to MacOS and Windows. Now we are cooking.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • SnipSVG was delivered with a new version of Help&Manual and can also be used indepently. It immediately became my favorite tool for screen captures and editing them. It's completely intuitive and has so many helpful extras for annotations, decorations, accentuations and so on, which are easy to apply. The results are vector-based images which can also be edited afterwards. Perfect for websites, online help and all tech docs.
  • - 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

Cons

  • I couldn't find anything negative so far and after struggling with screen captures for many years I can fully recommend SnipSVG.
  • I can't think of one. My previous concerns are already in place in the latest version (workflow streamlining with additional keyboard shortcuts etc.)
