## Screen capture and recording with Ashampoo Snap Pro 26

**Ashampoo Snap Pro 26** helps you turn screen content into visual instructions. Capture screenshots, annotate important details, and record demonstrations for colleagues, customers, or students.

## Live Edit: annotate before you capture

Add arrows, text, and highlights directly over your desktop. The screen remains active while you work, so you can rearrange windows or adjust the content before taking the final screenshot.

Build your explanation step by step without restarting every time something changes.

## Screenshot and video editing tools

- **Reorganized controls:** find tools and properties in a clearer interface.
- **Quick Scroll:** navigate large captures with a thumbnail preview.
- **Drag-and-drop clipart:** add visual elements with less effort.
- **Video export quality settings:** balance file size and output quality.

## Extract text from screenshots with OCR

Extract text from screenshots with OCR instead of typing it again. Snap uses Windows language packs, with support for more than 180 languages. Available recognition languages depend on the packs installed on your computer.

## Capture windows, screen regions, and scrolling pages

Select a window, a custom region, or scrolling content. Hotkeys make frequently used capture actions easy to reach, while annotations help readers find the detail that matters.

## Screen recording with audio

Record screen activity with sound to demonstrate a task. Trim the recording in the built-in video editor and choose export settings that suit your audience.

## Turn a capture into a clear next step

1. **Show the context.** Capture the relevant screen content.
2. **Guide the reader.** Add numbered steps, comments, or highlights.
3. **Deliver the explanation.** Export an image or PDF, or upload to the cloud.
