Reviews for Ashampoo Snap 2017
Maybe it’s just me, but when trying to capture a scrolling window in Chrome, it never captures the entire page. I’ve tried all three modes, and it consistently ends the capture too early.
The software allows for some configuration options, where you can configure the number of captures it should take, the location of the taskbar, screenshot style, hotkeys, browsers to monitor, what to do with screenshots after capture, among other things.
Ashampoo Snap 2017 is a software designed to make screen capture and recording for both professional and personal use easy. The software is light and easy to install.
User Interface
Upon installation, you get a nice interface complete with detailed instructions that will be useful to first-timers. The program docks itself on the upper right corner of your screen, where it is accessible whenever you move the mouse to its location. Although this makes it easy to access, you may also find yourself clicking on it accidentally.
Functionality
Ashampoo Snap 2017 comes with varied functionalities which include screen video capture, capture scrolling window, capture freestyle region, capture fixed region, OCR capture, and timed capture, among others. This makes it the best screen recorder I have ever used.
Set the video capture only to record the activities done in a single window, multiple windows, fixed region, or to keep track of a primary monitor. You can also resize the height and width of the area to be captured. If you need to include audio to the video, just select an audio source and begin recording. It is perfect for presentations and Youtube videos.
The ability to edit snapshots is also an added advantage. You can easily insert hints, indicate sections with arrows, crop images, and even highlight some parts, among other things. There’s a tutorial that’ll pop up when you go to the editing screen and should show you more on how to use this section.
Configuration

Pros
Nice interface –The dock design is impressive and features well-sized icons. This makes it easy to multitask.
Easy to use – The software comes with a host of tutorials that you can use to improve your skills.
High-resolution videos –Capture videos up to 4K if your monitor allows.
Image editor– Ashampoo Snap 2017 has an image editor to make your images look exactly the way they are supposed to. You can also create gifs.
Great audio recording –Doesn’t lose quality of the audio.
Great customization options –Set hotkeys
Share captures –share your videos and images via mail.
Cons
Makes screen freeze at times –After using it for quite some time, the monitor started freezing periodically. It returned to normal when I restarted the application.
Can’t upload videos to video sharing sites–I couldn’t find an option to upload a captured video on Youtube or any video sharing site.
Conclusion
Despite the occasional screen freezing issue, Ashampoo Snap 2017 is an excellent software that’ll come in handy for professional and personal use. It is the ultimate screen capture software, definitely worth downloading.

Thank You Dennis, I was on the fence with this one, with your recomdation I will be downloading the app.
Thank you again for your great honest reviews.
This does not have OCR. It is a feature limited version with MANY modules disabled (if you click on the option for OCR or Watermark for example, you will get a popup message to upgrade to Snap9). If you have Snap7 already installed, keep it since it is the full version.
Don’t know about this version specifically because haven’t tried it yet but the lack of sharing could be due to it being the 2017 version – versions with the year in the name are usually stripped back versions for free offers. The full version is currently ashampoo snap 8 and it normally would offer you an upgrade from the year versions for a discount – I have taken advantage of ashampoo’s upgrade prices numerous times
Current full version is actually snap 9 and 2007 is a slightly watered down version which is available even from the ashampoo website free of charge
confirmed. OCR, Sharing to Facebook/Twitter, and many other features are cut out of this free version of their Snap 9 software. If you buy Snap 9, you can share screenshots to FB/Twitter from the right side toolbar in edit mode after you have taken the image. it’s a little purple triangular icon but in this version has a star over it representing upgrade to unlock.
