Snagit's All-in-One mode goes beyond what's available in the Apowersoft utility, however, by including scrolling arrows for things like webpages that stretch beyond the border of the screen.

You can either just click for a full screen capture or you can frame your capture by dragging a rectangle while holding down the left button. But the most useful mode is All-in-One, which switches among modes based on your mouse input. In addition to hotkey capture, you get a selection of capture styles, including Full Screen, Window, Menu, Freehand, Scrolling Window, Region, and Polygon. The program also had no trouble capturing drop-down menus within programs in my testing.Īpowersoft Screen Capture Pro actually resembles SnagIt quite a bit, though its design is lighter and more cheerful. You can even take a screenshot of a webpage by entering its URL you don't even need to open the page in your browser. To the same end, there's also an option, which is switched on by default, to have the utility load when you start Windows. You want to be able to fire up the capture tool at a moment's notice whenever you see a screen you need to save.

If you take a lot of screenshots, as we do here at PCMag, hotkey operation is essential. When I first ran the program, a warning message told me that one of its preconfigured hotkeys was already taken-by coincidence, it was the same hotkey I use for SnagIt. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. ( See how we test everything we review (Opens in a new window).) Like most screen capture utilities, Apowersoft installs a system tray icon (also known as the notification area), from which you can change settings or invoke the full program window. Even the paid version still costs less than SnagIt's $49.95. A free version is available, but with it, you don't get 24-hour tech service, lifetime tech support, or free updates. The software runs on Windows 7 and later. I clicked Download Desktop Version, and ran the lightweight 17.6MB installer.

You can actually run the software from your Web browser, courtesy of Java, but I prefer to install the program so that it's always available for screenshots. So when I heard about Apowersoft Screen Capture Pro ($39.95), a new screen-capture utility that purports to do everything that competing software, such as Ashampoo Snap ($49.99 at Ashampoo UK) (Opens in a new window) does, I decided to give it a shot. But recently, the program has become cluttered with features I don't use, and the interface has become less appealing to me, with its ever-present desktop gadget. In the software-reviewing game, I constantly need to capture screen images, and SnagIt (49.95 Use PCMAG10 for 10% Off at Camtasia) (Opens in a new window) has been my go-to utility for several years.
