Welcome to the Snaggle Home Page

Snaggle is a simple to use screen capture program that greatly enhances the functionality of the Print Screen key in Microsoft Windows®.  The standard functionality of the Print Screen key allows you to copy your entire desktop or the currently active window to the system clipboard.  Snaggle does this too, but it also does much, much more.

With Snaggle, pressing the Print Screen key or initiating a screen capture from the system tray presents you with a whole set of options that were not previously available:

Capture Menu

You still have the option of capturing the desktop, but you can also select from any window on your desktop.  You can even select an area of your desktop that you would like to capture by drawing a custom shape right on the screen.  Whatever lies within the shape you specify will be captured by Snaggle.

Once an image has been captured, there are a variety of options available from within the Snaggle Capture Preview window.

Preview Window

  • Save an image in Windows Bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg), or Portable Network Graphics (.png) format.
  • Send captured images in e-mail messages.
  • Copy the image to the clipboard.
  • Crop the image to any shape you desire.
  • Add a border of any color and width.
  • Add a shadow behind the captured image.
  • Display or hide the cursor that was captured with the image or display the standard arrow cursor.
  • Reposition the cursor anywhere on the captured image - it can even hang over into the border (see the spotlight example above).
  • Add spotlight effects of any shape, color, or size.
  • Perform color transformations on captured images.
  • Fade any or all edges into the background.
  • Shrink the image from its original size.
  • Dither color images to black-and-white.
