I am a true lover of SnagIt and it is my default screen capture tool for long. I have seen many high profile techies using and promoting this tool. You can read reviews of SnagIt anywhere on the web, but the most disappointing side of this popular software is : It is not Free. There are several Free powerful screen capture tools, but none of them can be a true alternative of SnagIt, except PicPick.

After starting the software, you simply select one of the tool from the PicPick Tools trayicon menu when you want. It features a powerful capture tool, image editor, color picker, color palette, pixel ruler, protractor, crosshair, whiteboard and etc. You can use all these tools freely.

@DWiner: Thanks for sharing.
@Peter: Thanks for the comment!
Yes I use Snag it to be frank ,but freewares are there that are offering similar features to Snagit like you said Picpic as well as FastStone Image Viewer.
With Snagit you can click on scroll screen and shoot a pic of the whole website page. can you do the same with this PicPick?
Yes you can, I just tried it and its an option called Capture Window Control.
This is great! Almost everything waht I needed from snag it and free.
Just missing send to email :)
I am used to populating empty form field [pdf's mainly] by printing them to snagit and using the populated forms for testing. I find the text box option of snag it very helpful.
Does PicPick have it?
I like it, only missing an option to ONLY copy to clipboard, but anyway, nice tool, thanks for sharing!
it’s indeed a better alternative for snagit, love it
I have been using the free trial of SnagIt and just downloaded PicPick. Are there any freeware applications that offer the feature of the different edges that SnagIt offers?
