alternative to snipping tool?

[CJ_London]

The snipping tool serves me well but is let down by its drawing capabilities - all freehand and no ability to draw boxes or circles. Had a look at snip & sketch but doesn't seem to have any additional features.

Lots of apps out there, some free, some subscription - does anyone have any recommendations?

Snag-It! It isn't free but it is simply fantastic.

The latest version of the snipping tool has boxes and circles:

I can't take a screen shot of the controls 'cause catch 22....

just tried greenshot - few more steps involve but can get used to that

When I was still working with the U.S. Navy, we had Snag-It and I thought it was really good. Since we had a site license, I have no idea what it costs, but I will say that I liked using it and found it incredibly easy when building documentation to include all sorts of screen-grabs and dump them directly into Office products. Word and Power Point both benefited from its presence.

I'm using Screenpresso for many years now. Particularly the ability to have multiple named workspaces to store screenshots in is a distinctive feature for me.

Just tried Screenpresso - much the same functionality as Greenshot but nicer interface

They are in competition for the print screen button so can't show side by side.
