     Snag-It features many features expanding its usefulness. You can choose whether you want to capture the entire screen, a particular window, or an area defined by you. You can choose to either capture the mouse pointer or not as well. Even the keys used to activate the capture process can be configured to your liking.

     Snag-It stores its files in a variety of formats, including .GIF, .JPEG, .TIF, .PCX, .PNG, .BMP and .AVI. Before you save your files, you can perform a wide array of functions on them, such as rescaling the image, changing the color depth, and substitution of colors. Snag-It also supports professional quality image processing effects and controls (e.g. rotate, flip, shear, solarize, sharpen, blur, mosaic, emboss, underlay, edge detection, invert, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, histogram equalize, etc.)

     Snag-It will capture video, scrolling windows, and will even capture entire text blocks that are normally unavailable for cut and paste and convert them to standard machine readable text formats, making Snag-It indispensable to the web conscious artist.
