Taking it one step further, you can adjust these tools to your liking. The breadth of features is absolutely superb. Click Effects for more features like shadows, perspective and filters.

Here you can add arrows, text, comment bubbles, shapes, fill colors, a ridiculous number of stamps, magnification for focus, crop it, blur it, cut it out and more. Once you take the screenshot either from keyboard shortcut or menu bar, it opens in the full Snagit UI. Snagit lets you edit the border and dimensions of the screenshot before you finish taking it - a feature I’ve always liked in Skitch. Then you edit them in nothing short of a phenomenal editor that can please the most avid screenshot taker. It lets you not only take screenshots, but screen recordings as well. Okay, admittedly Snagit is the most expensive option on this list, but it’s arguably one of the most advanced screenshot apps you’ll ever come across for your Mac.

We’ve detailed even more Skitch alternatives for Windows and Android 1.
