Snagit replaces the native print screen function and extends it with additional features.

[4] The features are structured around the three main steps of the software workflow:[5] capture, edit and share.

Using Snagit Editor, a captured image can be resized, annotated with arrows and callouts, or given other effects such as borders.

The resulting image or video can be shared as a local file (supported formats include PNG, JPEG, HEIF, WebP and MP4), to another application (Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Camtasia) or uploaded online (YouTube, Google Drive, FTP).

Images, videos and screen recordings stored on mobile devices can be sent directly to the Snagit file library.
