So, as soon as you finish recording, you instantly get a shareable link. Powered by StreamingVideoProvider, Screenrec uses a sophisticated algorithm to upload your recording to the cloud in real time. It is both screenshot capture tool and screen recording software. Screenrec is a powerful alternative to Snagit for Windows (Lastest Windows 10, 8, 7 are supported), Linux and Mac. Why you have to pay for a tool so simple as screen capture is beyond our understanding, but Snagit only comes in a premium package. Snagit is available to purchase for $49.95. Let’s get this out of the way now no, THERE IS NO FREE VERSION OF SNAGIT. Here’s the thing, though, there are so many other programs like Snagit that are free, and, dare we say, even better. Snagit is a program that works as a screen recorder with an image screen capturing tool, a snipping tool, and video/audio recording capabilities. What do you do? Do you just buy Snagit because the internet has been force-feeding it to you for years? Or do you roll up your sleeves and decide to look for a free alternative to Snagit?

So, you’re on your desktop and you find yourself needing to do a quick screengrab.
