Snagit 2025 Features
Snagit 2025 leverages AI and Screentelligence-powered features to perform nearly all of the creation work, allowing users to focus on refining content. The new features enhance creation speed and professional polish across everyday training, documentation, and workplace communications. With Snagit 2025, users can boost clarity, protect privacy, and engage their audience more effectively.
- Step Capture: Quickly create visual how-to guides and step-by-step instructions by simply going through the process.

This feature is ideal for HR and IT professionals, as well as team leads and managers who often document and share processes like how to use software or access files.
- Smart Redact: Automatically detects and blurs, pixelates, or redacts nine types of sensitive information from an image including mailing addresses, credit card or phone numbers, and more from screenshots with a single toggle.
- Background Noise Removal: Eliminates background noise on user audio in any environment. This feature is excellent for creating ad hoc videos in the office, at home, or in a coffee shop with none of the quality concerns.
- Customizable Share Link (enterprise exclusive): Enables single-click share link functionality with existing corporate platforms and environments such as OneDrive or Google Drive.

- Background Noise Removal: Instantly removes all background noise to provide clear audio. The effect is automatically applied while using Rev and can be applied manually to any recording or video in the editor.
- Dynamic Caption Editing: Manually adjust, add, or remove words and spaces in the dynamic captions feature instead of relying solely on the transcription.
