SnagIt Add-ins
SnagIt inside Your Favorite Applications
SnagIt’s toolbar add-ins let you capture the screen from within many of the programs you use daily – without ever leaving the program or launching SnagIt. Add-ins are available for most of the Microsoft Office programs, Adobe FrameMaker, and Firefox.
With the exception of the Firefox Extension, the add-ins are built into SnagIt. They are automatically installed along with SnagIt, unless you specify otherwise during the installation process.
I found the SnagIt Add-ins to be very helpful. It was great to be able to get the screenshot, save the image, and insert it into the document with just ONE click. - Larry Funk, Technical Writer

SnagIt and Microsoft PowerPoint
Create dynamic presentations using SnagIt’s PowerPoint add-in. From PowerPoint’s toolbar, you can use SnagIt to:
- Embed Flash videos and play them directly inside your presentation slides. No more waiting for videos to download.
- Include interactive captures in your slides. Hover over an image or diagram to reveal extra detail or explanatory text.
- Capture a Web page with all of the embedded links intact. Then, click a link to go directly online from your presentation.
And SnagIt can automatically fill a whole slide with a capture, eliminating the hassle of manually sizing the image to fit.
Bonus! TechSmith offers a large selection of PowerPoint background templates to give your presentations even more visual impact.

Captures are embedded directly in the body of your e-mail message, making them instantly viewable by the recipient – no more hassling with attachments.
