Snag Screenshot App Snagit for Free

1:30AM Kevin Purdy | Windows only: Normally not-free screenshot application SnagIt is being given away in a slightly older version for free—good news for technical writers and others who want to upgrade beyond the PrtSc key. Tech blog Digital Inspiration has the details of how to get a fully unlocked version of SnagIt, which maker TechSmith hopes will entice users into upgrading to version 8.2 at half price.

SnagIt 7.2 is (currently) a free download for Windows systems only. Download SnagIt for Free – Full Licensed Version [Digital Inspiration] More »
