SnagIt

Ever need to make a screen grab that's longer than your screen? Before I discovered SnagIt I'd spend a few minutes using Photoshop to glue screen grabs together and wondering what I'd do if I didn't have Photoshop.

SnagIt allows you to capture the entire contents of a scrolling area. It’s very fully-featured and it’s not free ($39/year) but it’s well worth it in my opinion. As with any other software, make sure it’s not setting itself up to launch automatically when your computer starts up.

I use SnagIt for one thing: capturing screengrabs that are longer than my screen. But it can also be used to add annotations to screengrabs, capture videos, and more. As of 2026 it’s $39/year.
