Snagit is a great image editor and capture tool but sometimes it is more convenient to capture using the Windows Snipping Tool. However, by default, Snagit runs up its editor when it detects the Snipping Tool capturing an image. This can be somewhat annoying if all you need to do is quickly capture, copy and paste images into an email (for example) using the Snipping Tool.
To stop Snagit from popping up, do the following:
1. Run Snagit, i.e. run the Snagit Capture tool.
2. Under the File menu, Choose the Capture Preferences option.
3. Uncheck the Open screenshots copied from System Tools checkbox …
Now you can snip in peace without the Snagit editor popping up.
Thank you so much for this information!!! Like you say, snagit is great but the unrequested opening each time when you use snipping tool was driving me nuts.
thanks !
THANK YOU! This was driving me INSANE!!!
Thank you! This was also driving me INSANE!!!
My god – thank you so much. Snagit editor was making me want to destroy my laptop.
Thank you! I really, really appreciate this. I found Snagit so annoying every time I used any other snipping tool. Snagit recently started popping up when copying/pasting Excel cells which just added to the frustration.
I’m in the exact same boat as Jason Wright. It was driving me batty! So I search & found you, folks. I’m just amazed there are solutions online for software issues. This fixed the problem. My jaw hit the floor LOL….
Thank you so much for having this tip out here.

Thank You. Your solution fixed the issue. (This was very annoying.)
Thank you so much for this fix!
Thank you!!!
Thank you! I could not figure out how to stop this as it was SO annoying. Very much appreciate you sharing this with us!
Great post, very helpful!
In the page there is another item: Scale captures down to 1920×1080 (recommended)
What should be done about this? The resolution of the images from this tool is not good.
Thank you.
The “feature” was driving me nuts. Thank you for this tip.

Woo hoo!

Thank you Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks so much! It was so annoying!!!!
I updated my Snagit app today and now I can’t find this button to turn off the screenshots from popping up after each capture. Any help would be great!
Thank you so much!!! I was about to request my IT guys to remove Snagit (Two years in this company and I’m still not really using it!)
Thank you so much! This was so annoying. I tried finding this elsewhere but could not figure out how to get to capture preferences and thought this was just an artifact of an older version of the program… alas you have to make a new capture to get that menu! Thanks so much again.
Thank you sooo much….. It almost drove me crazy
