This epic screen recorder is now completely free, but you have to act quickly
It’s rare to find a good freebie, but that’s what Ashampoo is offering, because for a limited time one of our favorite screen recording tools is completely free to download.
Ashampoo Snap has long been one of the best screen recorders we’ve reviewed. It’s a relatively simple app for Windows PCs, designed to capture images and videos directly from your computer. We felt it offered a pretty good value even at full price, but free is always better.
The offer runs from October 1 – 31. You can download Ashampoo Snap 15 for free by clicking here.
Free recordings
We’ve always had a soft spot for Ashampoo products – no-nonsense software for essentials seems a good characterization. So Snap fits nicely into this realm.
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 liked the simplicity of the interface, which was incredibly easy to use. Of course it’s not perfect. Its features are sparse compared to 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 it’s given away for free.
The latest version of the software includes one-click recording, GIF maker, optical character recognition, and even basic video editing software for merging webinars, presentations, and streams. And that could address one of the biggest issues we encountered with the previous edition, which offered little ability to reduce content.
The usual retail price is $44/£35 with a generous thirty day free trial. But you don’t have to worry about that via the link above, which gives you access to Ashampoo Snap 15 completely free forever. Existing users can also upgrade to future versions at a discounted price.
This offer is only available until October 31, 2024. Don’t forget to use the link above as we still see the software available for purchase on the original homepage.
