How to blur sensitive information in a screenshot
Why a drawn-on black box is not redaction, why pixelated text can be read back — in any tool, ours included — and the method that actually holds up.
How to make numbered-step screenshots for a tutorial
What to capture and what to leave out, how to number in the order the reader acts, and how to keep twenty images looking like one document.
How to capture a long scrolling page
Your browser can already do this for web pages with no software at all. Here is how — and what to do about sticky headers and content that loads as you scroll.
Comparisons
Screen Slinger vs the other Windows screenshot tools
Snagit, ShareX, Greenshot, Lightshot and PicPick — what each is for, and an explicit "choose that one if…" for every entry.
Can Snipping Tool take a scrolling screenshot?
No, and it never could. What your browser already does for free, and what the case that is not a web page actually needs.
Where the Windows Snipping Tool stops
It records video and reads text now — genuinely. The four walls people still hit, and the case for simply keeping it.
A Snagit alternative you buy once
A two-question test for whether switching makes sense, and exactly what you give up if it does.
Outgrown Greenshot?
The three walls people hit with the free tool — and the case for staying with it anyway.
Screen Slinger — $15, once
Free for 30 days with every feature unlocked. No account, no card, no sign-up. After that it is $15 once, for good — not a subscription.
