MUSI  I've been using this app for a long time, and since I bought EasyCrop (another fantastic, and IMO, the best and easiest cropping tool), it qualified me to upgrade to SnapNDrag Pro.

SnapNDrag is as easy and as good as it gets. Anytime I take a screen shot using any other method, I always end up coming back to this app because it is just so convenient. You have many options, can choose your output file format (tiff, png, jpeg), can make a timed screenshot, do a selection or the whole window. Then just drag the item wherever you want it to go. The fact that this is also a free app makes it that much more justifiable to use, since Apple gives you the key commands to take screenshots and also the Grab interface for free as well. However, SnapNDrag is still so much nicer to use. Intuitive, easy, quick, and stable, with a clean and uncluttered interface. Never in all the time that I've used it has it ever crashed or corrupted / interrupted my system. It is how an app should be done. I highly recommend it.  
(Version 2.4.6)

ALEXIUSCA  does this - or any utility - allow screenshots to be saved with the date in the filename?

i'm sick of having dozens of "picture 1, 2, etc"  
(Version 2.4.5)

CEILING CAT  "But if you find it annoying that Shift-CMD-4 can only produce PDF files..."

Untrue for Leopard; the default screenshot format is now PNG, and by using the right terminal command or any number of free "hidden option" changers, users can pick from 10 different formats.

In fact, I think this is even untrue for earlier versions of OS X; I'm sure my old Panther and Tiger installs used .TIFF, not .PDF?  
(Version 2.4.4)

CHRISWAN  I've been using this app since I was relatively new to Mac

Great little app, never failed me, and the Pro version is just 5 dollar

Would like to see an updated app and GUI icons  
(Version 2.4.3)

MARTHI  The developer had better fix bugs than introduce new features. I have been writing to the developer since version 2.2 in April 2007 to notify him of the following bug, without him fixing the bug. Under Panther 10.3.9 the menubar icon is irresponsive when the app is automatically launched at login, with the option set to run without dock icon. I recently also noted that under Tiger 10.3.9, checking the box to automatically launch the app at login, is unsuccessful at the first attempt. Similarly with unchecking this box.  
(Version 2.4.3)

MACMAN8  I have used this application for quite some time, and I simply love it. It has worked flawlessly for me. I am very grateful to its creators for their hard work!  
(Version 2.4.2)

FOULGER  Watch out Snapz pro! Ambrosias policy of concentrating on games rather than create a UB version of their excellent programme is only leaving the door open for other developers to produce an alternative. Remember Quark and their attitude that they were the only kid on the block? Now InDesign is the new industry standard. Go to it yellow mug - the opportunity is there.  
(Version 2.2)

BJ00RN  Just a small comment about the built-in screenshot functionality which is claimed to be PDF-only. It is not limited to the PDF format. You can choose whatever file-format you'd like to have by default by setting the parameter in "Onyx" (f.ex.).  
(Version 2.1.3)

PEDROTAQUELIM  Easy and very handy. Thank you!  
(Version 2.1)

GENERAL HONEYPOT  I use it to cap videos. It's very handy, stable and simple.  
(Version 2.1)

BOWDOIN  nifty little app.

thank you.

kinda cheezy to call this a free app when some of the features require one to upgrade to "pro".

very clever to have a "banner" area at the bottom of the app to advertise your other apps in a a non-intrusive way.   
(Version 2.1)

PHALERON  I have had a problem with DragNDrop for several versions, in that it would get confused and send my target window backwards (when multiple windows overlapped), making screenshots of intended windows impossible. This version seems to have fixed this problem. Thank you.

A second issue I have is that DragNDrop cannot take snapshots of dialogue windows. A dialogue window dims when out of focus. When I click the "selection" or "window" button on SnapNDrag the dialogue box dims and the snapshot captures a dimmed window. In contrast, Command-Shift-4 permits screen capture with windows in focus.

Aside the above issues, I like DragNDrop a lot.  
(Version 2.1)

HUEVOX  This application is incedibly useful!  
(Version 2.1)

JUSTINNORMAN  An easy-to-use, wonderful little utility that allows for quick, window-specific screenshots, or the usual, full-screen type. Excellent, stable and reliable.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ALUAKZ  This little app is amazing! It has saved me so much time. I don't have to find Grab, then make a screenshot, then save it, then delete it... Everything is neat and simple. Just snap and drag. Well done!  
(Version 2.0)

MOK.IN.TOUCH™  It's always been wonderful and wonderful. Especially in the "Pro".

Of course can't c0mpare with SnapzPro coz they are in different strength.

Love them both.

I run 409 applications in my Mac.  
(Version 1.6.7)

JERRYR  It is simple to use and works well. Perfect for illustrating bug reports and for grabbing all those setup screen details before erasing my HD to reinstall the OS. Many thanks to the developer(s).  
(Version 1.6.6)

ANONYMOUS  No malfunctions at all! Lovely app! Thanks!  
(Version 1.6.5)

OXOLYT  The "window-disappears-when-selecting-under-10.4.3" BUG is still in SnD 1.6.5. So now: no points.  
(Version 1.6.5)

DAVIS1  What's new to 1.6.5?  
(Version 1.6.5)

TOM  If you see it on your monitor, SnapNDrag will copy it in any of 3 formats. I've used this program for several years now and I now find it to be as handy as any of my great Apple programs.

Thanks for the timely upgrades and for not charging us for all the improvements.  
(Version 1.6.5)

ANONYMOUS  This little app ROCKS! Drag & drop snaps of windows, screen or selection. Would like to contol timing of selection areas (my own obscure reasons), but other than that, beats everything else.

Highly recommended.  
(Version 1.6.3)

OXOLYT  SnD is buggy under 10.4.3. When I click on the Selection button, the main window hides and does only come back when I toggle the History Drawer in the SnD menu. But then the window is always in the background - buttons are geyed out and no button works. When I use Selection from the Capture menu, all works well.   
(Version 1.6.3)

JAVIER  Shift-Command-4 doesn't produce PDFs anymore under Tiger. It creates a PNG file. The developer should update the product description to reflect this change.  
(Version 1.6.2)

KRC  I like this app a lot!

The nice thing about it vs. the built-in grab app is that this one actually allows me to take screen grabs of the Apple DVD player while playing. For some bizarre reason, I can't take snaps of DVD movies using CMD+Shift+3 or CMD+Shift+4.

Thanks!  
(Version 1.6.1)

ANONYMOUS  if you take a tiff of your screen with grab and snd and compare the two side by side, you will not see a difference.

what are you people getting on about??

if you see degraded images, perhaps a better understand of image compression is needed on your part  
(Version 1.6.1)

ANONYMOUS  Grab is the application that comes with OSX...I doubt he's an apple developer.  
(Version 1.6.1)

BOB  I agree with Anon, the image quality suffers and makes it not worth using.  
(Version 1.6)

JD  Fast, Friendly, Free, and Updated, Thanks,

Use it all the time.   
(Version 1.5.5)

SHAITAN  Great tool and free! Works like a charm.  
(Version 1.5.5)

FRANK ZOMER  The point Mr Anonymous, is one of "choice". However since you're the developer of Grab you obviously can't see that choice is a good thing.  
(Version 1.5.5)

ANONYMOUS  Grab is better with overall higher

quality images than SnapNDrag.

SnapNDrag is a little bit easier to use

but image quality is more important.

Nice try, but don't see the point.  
(Version 1.5.2)

DKI  love love love it. just wish it worked with pathfinder better. Whenever i go to drag a file from the snapndrag window into the desktop of pathfinder, it just creates a copy of a non existent file (since the file is only in the snapndrag app itself, and not in a folder already)

thats my only complaint though. 10 thumbs up!  
(Version 1.4.3)

HOBY  I think since SnapNDrag is about as good of a utility as it could possibly be already, Yellow Mug should work on something new. Take that great free programming to another genre.  
(Version 1.4.3)

ANONYMOUS  SandD 1.4.2 has improved the u.i. The green button has a purpose now. I'm glad that the interface is even more streamline than ever before. Simplicity is sophistication. Thanks-a-bunch.  
(Version 1.4.2)

NORM MACKAY  I would recommend this useful little tool to any Mac user. Its simple, but very effective. Its also extremely easy to use, and sits quietly in the background. A most effective and useful tool.  
(Version 1.4)

MAK  Addition of .PDF will be great!  
(Version 1.4)

TIGRR82  fantastic! after spending 20 minutes fiddling around with other screenshot utilities, finally one that lets me take shots from movies and dvd's. very useful, and allows saving as tiff! thanks!  
(Version 1.3.9)

AUTOMATONE  In Panther, you can drag images from SnapNDrag's 'well' to a printer icon in the Dock and it will print instantly -- no control over size, but this is handy for quick documenting of a web page, log-in info, etc.

There is nothing in the Pee-Sea world that is even close to this little jewel. Also, their EasyBatchPhoto tool is superb.  
(Version 1.3.7)

SAM RAE  Great little piece of software. It's saved me a couple of steps and a lot of mess when going from screenshots to graphics. You can just drag the icon into GraphicConverter (for example) instead of having junk all over your desktop. Nice work.  
(Version 1.3.6)

MOK.IN.TOUCH  This is the best version of all. Watermark is gone...great stuff. Sharpness at 75% has improved. It's sharper than SnapzPro X at 100%.

Keep yp the good work Jay.

Mok.In.Touch  
(Version 1.3.6)

PORTHOS   First impression of this little piece of kit is "Cool" and "Simple". Indeed it does exactly what it says in the title.......SnapNDrag...except for the first 5 minutes I could not work out how to save the screen I just took....you have to drag it from the box to where you like....there was me looking for a save button. DOH!

I mostly use Snapz Pro X which is bundled with OS X 10.2 onwards and find this to have more features....also you can bring the program up with a hotkey so you dont have to treck all the way to your applications folder.

Still, top marks, looks good, performs well, including taking screenshots off of .mpeg clips while playing.

Not very original though and lacks alot of what Snapz Pro X offers.  
(Version 1.3.5)

YOYO  This program is very nice, it offers the ability to save directly to jpg, png, or tiff, and also removes the application window when it takes the screenshot.

The functionality is great, and this would have been a very nice application except that it is crippleware. (It seems only scaling functions are disabled unless you have watermarks on your images, if you do not register.)

Everyone deserves the right to make money off software, but before anyone spends the time downloading and installing software thinking it is completely free, should be told that it is not.

The other quirk I have is that on first run, this program tries to send information out through the internet (66.152.98.16 port 80). It only happens once when you first run the program. I thought maybe this was to check to see if there were any program updates, but I noticed there was no option in the preferences to turn "update checks" on or off, and nothing explained why it would try to connect out in either the readme, preferences, help, or about box.  
(Version 1.3.4)

ANONYMOUS  Best (free) screenshot program around. Simply fabulous! Especially the capability to make a screenshot, and then drag that screenshot immediately to Mail/iChat/etc. Makes reporting bugs a lot easier.  
(Version 1.3.2)

TY  Wow. Much more Apple-like than Apple's own Grab screenshot utility. Speaking of which, is anyone else peeved by Grab's inclusion in the Services menu since it is rarely employed by applications, including Apple's own Finder!   
(Version 1.3.2)

OLI  excellent app. does what with ScreenCapture Utility not works... and it's free!  
(Version 1.3)

CHANGWEI  Very user friendly and very useful!! Great application. Thanks!  
(Version 1.2.9)

ANONYMOUS  Very, very good application. Free of charge and does it's job well.

Many thanks to the developer - keep up the good work.  
(Version 1.2.9)

AUTOMATONE  > You have to have the window open to activate a screenshot....

This might have just changed in 1.2.8, but in 1.2.7 and earlier you can close the window and activate any kind of screenshot from the SnapNDrag's Dock icon.  
(Version 1.2.8)

ANONYMOUS  Nice little gizmo, but it's not a replacement for Apple's shortcuts because it has no ability to mimic that function and produce a different file type. You have to have the window open to activate a screenshot....  
(Version 1.2.8)

AUTOMATONE  Elegant, unobtrusive -- makes you wonder why we've been doing screenshots any other way!

The concept of storing the captured screen in a compact 'well' where it can then be dragged to another app or to the desktop as a file is just superb.

The only limitation I've found: it does not capture screens running in Classic (they show up as 'blanks')  
(Version 1.2.7)

TONY  Great stuff, thx for such a wonderful free app!  
(Version 1.2.7)

PHILIP BECK  Thank you for this app. I use it almost daily. Its easy and its free, what could be better! Thanks!!  
(Version 1.2.7)

DR.G5  Best there is!  
(Version 1.2.6)

ANONYMOUS  I've used the last few versions.

It's always worked great for me.

I love it!  
(Version 1.2.6)

FRONTPAGE  I've tried other screen capture tools in attempts to make frame grabs of DVD movies, and SND has become my app of choice.

Other capture tools may recognize the window but after you capture the frame, the resulting image is black... like censorship. SND does a successful capture, however. But if I remember (too lazy at 4AM to check), one must use VLC instead of Apple DVD Player.

An added plus is the option for the user to choose the output file's type, between JPEG, PNG and TIFF file. Jpeg offers better compression but the quality generally is inferior to a TIFF file. PNG may sit in the middle quality- wise. And SND also shows a preview of the image along with the file size.

Once you get the hang of capturing with SND, it becomes second nature. So since this has become my app of choice for capture, I give it 5 stars. It is also very stable, with no apparent software conflicts with DVD Player and VLC Media Player.

ANONYMOUS  Goodbye Snapz Pro ... this is what I needed. Simple, clean, unencumbered. Thank you!  
(Version 1.2.5)

JAY  It works perfectly  
(Version 1.2.5)

ANONYMOUS  Simple and perfect. Simply perfect ;)

FARIBORZ AMIRSHAHI - VERONA (ITALY)  Exceptionally the best free snap shot utility ever. I can't do without it.  
(Version 1.1)

TOMJWRIGHT  Great for people like me who have trouble remembering the keyboard shortcuts for the various built-in OS X screen shots. Ability to save in a variety of formats is also a plus.  
(Version 1.0)

NCIANCA  Very handy. I like the Timed feature as it allows you to take a screen shot with a menu down. The Window feature is useful too.  
(Version 1.0)

JOSHUA KAUFMAN  Excellent and simple app that does what it says! Very nice.
