## Capture your screen. Make your point.

A screenshot can answer a question faster than a lengthy email. **Ashampoo Snap 17** turns screen content into clear, useful images and videos. Capture a problem, illustrate a process, or prepare a tutorial with editing tools built into the same application.

## From capture to explanation in three steps

1. **Capture.** Select a window, a screen region, your desktop, or scrolling content.
2. **Clarify.** Add arrows, text, highlights, and numbered instructions, or trim your recording.
3. **Share.** Save your result and send it to the people who need it.

## Get the whole picture

Save the details you need from windows, selected areas, and multiple displays. Scrolling capture brings longer pages into a single image, helping you keep information together without assembling separate screenshots.

## Guide attention to what matters

Mark a button with an arrow, highlight an important setting, or number the steps in an instruction. Text, comments, and graphical elements turn a simple capture into something your audience can follow.

## Record a walkthrough, then refine it

Show a task in motion with screen recording at up to 60 FPS. Use the integrated video editor to remove pauses and unnecessary sections before sharing your demonstration.

Export a recording as a video, create an animated GIF, extract audio, or save individual frames as images.

## What's new in Snap 17?
