| SnagIt Capture Format | TechSmith | Data Files |
The .SNAG file extension is associated with SnagIt, a screenshot capture and editing software application created by TechSmith. The SNAG files stores snippets of images, text and audio captured from the users active window. This type of file is created when the user utilizes the SnagIt desktop capture tools or the SnagIt browser add-on..
Technical Details
The core contents of .SNAG are Bitmap images encoded in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF with compression) and XML tags. The PDF data contains all of the image details such as colours, resolution data and any area outside the image being masked. Additionally, snippets also contain annotations, such as drawings, text handles, and effects added by the user. Both the PDF and XML components are then concatenated and the data is compressed into a single file using Time-line encoding.
Similar File Extensions
Similar file extensions include: .CAP, DRN, .PNG, .JPG, .TIFF, .BMP, and GIF.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SNAG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SNAG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SNAG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SNAG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SNAG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SNAG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SNAG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SNAG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SNAG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SNAG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
