Reviews for Ashampoo Snap 2018
I got it in a previous offering and it works very well.
The only problem is that everytime I reboot my Win 10 PC, it pops up an “offering”/advertisement.
Ashampoo Snap 2018 is a lightweight yet powerful all-in-one capture tool, that that can record videos from your desktop or a connected web camera, and also grab snapshots of any window or area on your screen. It is like the easiest way to create screenshots and videos from your screen and it allows you to edit them too.
Overview
The download size is ~50MB, and the installation process is pretty straightforward and simple. After installation it asks you to enter you email address for program activation. Once you enter it, if your email is already registered with Ashampoo, it asks you enter your password. If your email is not registered with them already, it lets you create a new password and activate your program easily. After this you can launch Ashampoo Snap and begin working with it right away. The programs dock is present on the top right-side of the screen and can be accessed by hovering mouse pointer over it. Ashampoo Snap can perform screen video capture, capture scrolling window, capture freestyle region, capture fixed region, OCR capture, and timed capture, and more. It also allows the users to include audio to the video, making it a perfect tool for presentations and YouTube videos. Along with capturing the screens content, it also lets you edit the snapshots and videos that you create with it. This further enhances the quality of videos or snapshots you produce with it.
Pros
Compact and well-arranged UI
The dock is well-designed and provides ease of use to the users. It sits on the top right-side of the screen hidden, until you hover your mouse on top of it. This makes multi tasking while using this tool an easy task.
Video and Audio capture quality
Video capture resolution of upto 4k are supported, and it can also take screenshots of 3D fullscreen games without quality loss. Audio quality recorded is the highest your audio source can support, no loss occurs using this tool.
Powerful editing mode
The editing mode can do a lot of stuff based on the users choice, it can copy objects to system clipboard, copy objects between screenshots, insert locally saved images into screenshots, apply gradients to many objects and do a lot more.
Configurations and improved control
The tool allows configurations like controlling 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 and much more.
Share and Upload
This tool allows you to share your captures via email right away, it even let the users upload them to the cloud and also send them to other applications so you can share them.
Cons
Freezes
Freezes right after you stop recording. The longer the capture, the more time it takes to start working normally again. It’s probably because at that time the software is processing and saving the capture, it freezes even on an SSD.
Learning Curve for some features
Some features are difficult to get used to for novices. Moreover, it will take a good amount of time for anyone to be able to use all it’s features.
No dedicated social media buttons
Dedicated one-click keys for social media like Facebook and YouTube would be a great feature, especially for users who use it to make tutorials and YouTube videos.
Conclusion
Ashampoo Snap 2018 is a feature-rich application, that provides a wide range of function and features for all types of users even novices. It is the ultimate tool for all your screen capturing needs and can come handy in multiple situations. Small duration screen freezes can be easily over looked if you think about the amount of features it has packed within. It is definitely a tool worth trying.
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.

Sad to hear that it still does not work well in this version. I remember to this bug in an earlier version. As I can remember, I found a workaround if I use another browser.
Is there any difference to the version 9 also given away for free? in regalur the 2000 -versions are all stripped down versions of the single numbered versions.
You can get the version 9 for free here at ComputerBild (a German IT-journal; “DOWNLOAD” – “DOWNLOAD STARTEN”)
http://www.computerbild.de/download/Ashampoo-Snap-9-Kostenlose-Vollversion-930250.html
No nagscreen on my Windows 8.1 boot.
Notice that the registration process has changed. Now there is no more need to enter the serial, the program must be registered from within the program with a guilty email adress. If you confirm the adress the programm is automatically unlocked.
Works OK on Firefox but then I use latest paid for Version
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
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.
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.
funny but its ashampoo 2018 not 2017
You can save it as a .wmv and a .gif. In Snap 10 you have all the features you could ever want including all the formats for the web. There’s even a selection to upload to FB.
