You can share your screenshot to the cloud and send it off via cloud link, copy it to clipboard or save it to your computer. When you’re done editing, Apowersoft Mac Screenshot also includes several sharing features. Tip: The blur tool doesn’t produce the same pixelated effect that Skitch does.
BETTER THAN SKITCH FULL
You can draw an circle, rectangle, line, arrow, use a paintbrush tool, blur a selected area, write text and more. It also supports full window screenshots too. It’s actually a bit uncanny how similar this UI is to Lightshot. When you capture your screenshot, a toolbox appears along the bottom of the frame with your options. So while you’re trying to draw a regional screenshot, the app magnifies your pointer and surrounding area so you can make a precise selection. One of the best features right away is that it has a screen magnifier unlike Skitch or Mac’s default screenshot tool. Apowersoft Mac ScreenshotĪpowersoft Mac Screenshot is another screenshot tool that has several editing and annotation features built in.
BETTER THAN SKITCH FREE
It’s definitely overall a bit more basic than Skitch, but it’s totally free in the Mac App Store.


Unfortunately you can’t open any existing screenshots in Lightshot or edit ones you already saved, so it’s best used solely as a creation tool. It’s a hugely convenient way to image search. It will take the screenshot, upload it to Google and let you automatically search with the image to find similar results or identify what is in the picture. You can copy the image to your clipboard, upload to the cloud, share it with friends andsave it, but you can also perform a Google search with it. Over in the left toolbar is a bunch of sharing tools including one of my favorite features I’ve ever seen in a screenshot program. These are a pen, line, circle, rectangle, highlighter, arrow and text. It doesn’t live in your dock, but rather the menu bar so it’s readily available. Click the icon to draw your frame, then use the included tools to mark it up. Lightshot Screenshot is a screenshot tool that lets you draw and annotate. The app is arguably one of the best in the game.
BETTER THAN SKITCH TRIAL
The customizability extends right down to the sharing aspect, which includes your personalized Share Sheet options from your Mac, plus recommended services from Snagit Outputs like and Google Drive.Īlas, Snagit is $49.95 after the free trial ends, but absolutely buy it if you can afford it. For instance, with the magnification tool, you can adjust how much magnification you want, the border width and color. Taking it one step further, you can adjust these tools to your liking. The breadth of features is absolutely superb. Click Effects for more features like shadows, perspective and filters. Here you can add arrows, text, comment bubbles, shapes, fill colors, a ridiculous number of stamps, magnification for focus, crop it, blur it, cut it out and more. Once you take the screenshot either from keyboard shortcut or menu bar, it opens in the full Snagit UI. Snagit lets you edit the border and dimensions of the screenshot before you finish taking it - a feature I’ve always liked in Skitch. Then you edit them in nothing short of a phenomenal editor that can please the most avid screenshot taker. It lets you not only take screenshots, but screen recordings as well. Okay, admittedly Snagit is the most expensive option on this list, but it’s arguably one of the most advanced screenshot apps you’ll ever come across for your Mac.
