Extending SnagIt with Accessories

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing

I have written about SnagIt 9 by TechSmith, and how you can use SnagIt to take better screenshots and skin previews with it.

You can find that article here.

One thing I mentioned about SnagIt is that you can extend its functionality by downloadable accessories.  These include such things as stamps, outputs, etc.

Here are some examples:

  • Outputs. These accessories allow SnagIt to quickly and easily send captured shots to a designated output.  My favorite is the Flickr output which will send my images to my Flickr account with just a click of a button.  Other outputs include ones for Word, Excel, Skype, and more.

  • Stamps.  Stamps are basically small images that you can add to your captures to enhance the image, or use to visually make a point about something.  There are Accent stamps, Clip art stamps, and number/letter stamps available. 



  • Capture Profiles.  These profiles gives more options for specific applications when creating a capture.

There is a huge selection available for free to download at the TechSmith website.  You can also grab a free trial of SnagIt 9 while you are there.
