It's rare to find a good freebie, but that's what Ashampoo is offering, as for a limited time, one of our favorite screenshot tools is completely free to download.
Ashampoo Snap has long been one of the best screen recorders we've reviewed. A relatively simple application for Windows PC, it is designed to capture images and videos directly from your computer. We found it offered pretty good value even at full price, but free is always better.
The offer will be valid from October 1 to 31. You can download Ashampoo Snap 15 for free by clicking here.
Free catches
We've always had a soft spot for Ashampoo products – no-nonsense software for the essentials seems like a good characterization. So Snap fits very well in this area.
We last took an in-depth look at the software in our Ashampoo Snap 14 review, where we praised the tool's screenshot options and image editing tools. We also loved the simplicity of its interface, which was incredibly easy to use. Of course, it's not perfect. Features are sparse compared to its rivals, and it's not compatible with macOS (but we've reviewed the best screenshot tools for Mac to help avoid that). Overall, as a basic app, the package is hard to beat, especially when given as a gift.
The latest version of the software includes one-click capture, GIF maker, optical character recognition, and even simple video editing software to combine webinars, presentations, and broadcasts. And that could solve one of the biggest problems we experienced with the previous edition, which offered little to trim content.
Regular retail price is $44 / £35 with a generous thirty-day free trial. But you won't have to worry about that by using the link above, which gives you completely free access to Ashampoo Snap 15 forever. Existing users will also be able to upgrade to future versions at a reduced price.
This offer is only available until October 31, 2024. Remember to use the link above as we still see the software for purchase on the original home page.
