Last month I shared that Techsmith was giving away free serial numbers for their popular Snag-it screen capture utility. Unfortunately, that offer has expired, but there is a great, free alternative — and it’s also from Techsmith!
The Jing Project is a free screen capture utility that works on both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. While Jing doesn’t have all the post-capture editing features of it’s older sibling Snag-it, it does have a few really nice new touches.
Jing is designed to make it really easy to capture images or screencasts for sharing. You can share your capture automatically on screencast.com (for screencasts — duh), Flickr (for still images) or via FTP (assuming you have an FTP server).
And now that Flickr offers inline image editing, Snag-it’s additional features are not really needed.
If you need a decent screen capture utility, give the Jing Project a look.

Thanks for the post, Betsy! I’ll be sure to pass on my feedback. My only gripe at the moment is the lack of scrolling screenshot windows (ala SnagIt).
