New features in Snagit 2019 include:

Snagit 2019 ups the ante by offering new features to help make it even easier to share visual content and help ensure that content has a longer shelf life.



Combine Images

Whether you want to show a step-by-step process or simply have multiple screen captures in one image, Snagit 2019’s Combine Images Tool offers a fast and easy way to pull multiple images together. You will quickly combine images to create a set of instructions, a short how-to guide, or a side-by-side comparison.



Favorites tool

Snagit has grown substantially since its debut as a simple screenshot tool. But all these great features means it can be hard to find the tool you want. Here comes the Favorites Tool to the rescue! No more unnecessary tool switching or hunting down a specific style. With the Favorites Tool, all your favorite tool styles are just a click away!

Stamp searching and browsing

As a Snagit customer you already have access to nearly 2,000 pre-made stamps — including icons, symbols, cursors, and more that can be easily applied to your images. They’re great for marking up screenshots or even building simple infographics. With Snagit 2019 you can easily search through the stamps library using keywords to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Simplify Tool

Whether you want to make it easier to keep content up to date or reduce the amount time it takes you to localize content, Snagit’s new Simplify Tool is about to become your new best friend. You can manually add your own custom objects or use auto simplify option

Using the principles of Simplified User Interface (SUI), the Simplify Tool removes distracting or unnecessary parts of an image (including unnecessary text) so that only the most relevant portions are visible — giving your content a longer shelf life and reducing the need for localization!













Other improvements:

include high DPI support, which means the Snagit interface now looks even better on devices with higher-definition screens, such as Microsoft Surface and Macbook Pro.

 

New Features in the current version (19.0.1):

New Support Tool for more easily submitting diagnostic information to TechSmith Support.
Improved messaging when the Windows 10 camera and microphone privacy setting is disabled.
Improved visibility of which option is selected in the Selection Tool.
Improved messaging when attempting to Simplify a Combined Image.
Improved Combine text looks small when dealing with larger images.
