Have you ever needed to quickly and effectively capture your screen, only to be disappointed by basic screenshot tools? Whether you're creating tutorials, recording amazing gaming moments, or documenting software glitches, having the right screen capture tool can significantly enhance your results.

Screenshot is a simple and commonly used feature. Unfortunately, the screenshot tool that comes with Mac operating system is very useless. Not only does it have few functions and cannot take long screenshots, it also does not support GIF animation production, making it difficult to meet daily screenshot needs. Although there are some excellent third-party screenshot tools (such as Snagit, Snipaste, Snip), they are all unsatisfactory in terms of ease of use and functionality. If you have never been able to find a screenshot app that lives up to your expectations, CleanShot X will become one of your must-have tools on Mac.

Windows' built-in PrtSc (Print Screen) screenshot feature is so weak that third-party screen capture program is must-have on your computer. There's a lot of such software out there, popular ones are ShareX, SnagIt, PicPick, FastStone Capture, HyperSnap, Ashampoo Snap, etc. Today, I would like to recommend WinSnap, which is small in size but no less functional.

Snipaste (formerly called: PicNotes) is a compact, simple but overwhelmingly powerful and efficient screenshots making tool from China. Its independent developer spent 3 years to create this very special screen capture application, which combines screenshot + annotation + mapping these 3 major functions in one place. It is currently the only real edge tool for making screenshots on Windows, Mac and Linux! In contrast, you will immediately realize that - the working efficiency of using the traditional screen capture software is too low, and your screenshots operation and using habit must change dramatically in the future.

Ashampoo Snap is an old-brand and powerful screenshot & screen capture tool from Germany, if you are already getting fed up with TechSmith's Snagit on Windows, then try Ashampoo Snap's innovation way for producing, editing and sharing the screenshot and screen capture.
