Top 79 Screenshot Software Tools Compared

Welcome to the definitive source for selecting the right screenshot software. Here you will find detailed information to compare and contrast all screenshot software and screenshot capture tools. This publication is dynamic, and will be updated as screenshot tools enter and leave the market. If you see anything that is missing or incorrect, please let us know in the comments below.

Most people who need a screenshot program will just ask a friend or coworker for a recommendation, or do a quick Google search before making their selection. There are also a number of software review sites that aggregate customer reviews on a limited number of screenshot tools. And that is great. That is the right way to pick a screenshot software tool if you won’t be using it much, or don’t need special screenshot functionality.

But if you are a professional, run a business, or are serious about finding the ideal screenshot software for your workflow, then you need to spend a bit more time investigating all the wonderful software options out there. We put together this indepth research publication just for you. When making any important software decision, there are several steps one should take:

  1. List all possible options in your software category – screenshot software (we did this for you here)
  2. Conduct thorough research to list all the published, advertised capabilities of each tool (again, we did most of this for you)
  3. Quantify how important each feature or function is to your particular use case. Take this custom survey to layer in your own feature importance priorities.
  4. Layer together all the information into a Matrix so that you can rank each tool in order of suitability (not a trivial task, considering how many features/qualities and tools exist – but we also did this for you as well)
  5. Make your final decision based upon your research and other qualitative, subjective factors.

We reached out to a cohort of industry experts to get some initial feedback on what features are most important in website change monitoring tools. We’ve ranked the top ten tools in our research according to their responses. This top ten list is continually updated as we get more feedback:





Top Ten
Screenshot Software
as of April 2021

  1. Snagit 2021
  2. ShareX 13
  3. CloudApp 4.5
  4. Gyazo
  5. Ashampoo Snap 11
  6. Greenshot
  7. Screenpresso
  8. Atomi Active Presenter 8
  9. ScreenHunter 7
  10. TinyTake

Note: If we mark a specific solution as not having a particular feature, that only means we did not see that feature advertised in their public marketing content. We focus almost exclusively on publicly verifiable facts in our research.

Our analysts have done comprehensive research on 85 screenshot tools. They collected over 1100 data points, and more than 3200 feature points. We also built a scatter plot that ranks each software tool on two dimensions – Feature Strength and Business Strength:

Screenshot Software Feature Strength is a number that was calculated by looking at how many features each screenshot tool had, and the relative, subjective importance of each feature.

Screenshot Software Business Strength is a number that was calculated by looking at the non-software related elements of the company who built the screenshot tool. As of this writing, these business elements include:

  • Is a free trial offered?
  • What is the domain authority of the screenshot software publisher?
  • How has that domain authority changed in the last 6 months?
  • How old is the company that published the screenshot program?
  • Does the company publish thought leadership articles in a blog?
  • Does a video exist showcasing the screenshot features?

Please be aware that the positions of the screenshot software programs in this scatter plot are averaged feedback from more than 20 technology professionals who told us how important certain screenshot features and business qualities are. To get a true sense of your ideal screenshot tool for your particular business or use case, you really should take some time to assign your own importance ratings to each particular evaluation element using our survey.

The “Special Screenshot Software Features” field is where we list those features for each screenshot tool that are not found very often in other screenshot software solutions.

We also have The “Top Five Other Screenshot Tools With Most Similar Features in Order” field, that shows you those other tools whose feature sets match most closely to every screenshot tool in our database. This is very useful when you love one particular screenshot solution, but it has one or two major things that prevent you from using it. This makes it very easy to find similar screenshot tools based on our detailed published feature analysis.

And don't forget, at the very bottom of this article you can see a complete list of all Screenshot Features that we've identified. That is useful for learning if the features you love are common or rare in the Screenshot marketplace.

We have these five different ordering methods we’ve implemented in expandable sections (click to expand):

      This is really good article which consolidated all tools yet the list is so long with 79 tools listed and took more time to grasp as well. I recently stumbled upon a screenshot capture Chrome extension tool which is so awesome as helps to save anything from web using some cool editing feature as well.

        Hi Siva, I’m glad you enjoyed it. What is the name of that Chrome extension? We’d be interested in adding it to our database.

      Hi there! I found this article to be quite interesting. Right now, I am using Nimbus screen capture extension for google chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But one thing I observed that it is faster in Mozilla Firefox. It has all the required features like fragment capture, entire page capture and screen recorder. I also like shareX for windows. It is also very handy and has plethora of features. Your collection of Screenshot Software Tools is also very amazing and it was really nice that you shared detailed analysis.

        The speed of the screenshot tool is one attribute we did not cover in our analysis due to the challenge in setting up a base line metric by which to rate each tool. But it is an important element nevertheless! Maybe one day we’ll measure system resource usage in a spin-off study if there is enough demand.

      Thanks for list and conclusion. I have ever try many of the screen recording software above, but I still prefer those screen recording software with video edit function which can help me edit the recorded video after finished. For example Renee Video Editor Pro is one of my favorite choice when I want to make screen recording for teaching classes. It can record and mark the movement of the mouse. Besides, it also provides zoom in and out function in recording. Also, its built-in video editing functions like cutting, merging, video joining, adding background music and subtitle really help me improve my quality. Hope you can find a suitable screen recording software from the list.
