Ashampoo Snap 5.1.2

Ashampoo Snap is a program designed to help you easily take snapshots and capture video recordings.

Since this is an ad-supported software, you should be careful during installation. Snap offers to download a non-essential third-party component and to make some changes to your web browsers.

Once you initialize the program, you will be able to access its features via the capture bar (placed on the upper part of the screen) and the system tray.

So, you can capture a video (single window, desktop, rectangular or fixed region), configure audio and video settings (e.g. capture a typical Windows application, capture the microphone), set the encoding method (on the fly or disk cache) and configure mouse cursor and effects.

Furthermore, you can capture a single window, scrolling window (freestyle or website), as well as a free rectangle, freestyle or fixed region.

Once you have captured an image, you can edit it by using tools for blur, pixelate, erase, marker, spotlight, flood fill, shape, pencil, arrow, text, hint, stamp and zoomed button.

Plus, you can rotate, mirror, flip or resize the image, use the undo and redo functions, apply effects (e.g. drop shadow, pencil drawing, grayscale), and more.

The program takes up a moderate amount of system resources, includes step-by-step tutorials and ran smoothly during our tests. Snap has a very good response time and no errors have popped up when we were evaluating it.

All in all, Ashampoo Snap is an excellent tool for capturing videos and images from your desktop, and we highly recommend it to all users.
