How to simplify your images

Simplifying an image in Snagit is quick and efficient. Follow these three simple steps to achieve a streamlined, focused visual:
1
Step 1: Import or capture your image
Start by importing the image you want to simplify into Snagit’s editor. Or, you can use Snagit’s powerful capture options to screenshot an image of your screen.
2
Step 2: Auto-simplify and adjust
Select Snagit’s Simplify tool, then turn on the “Auto Simplify” option, to automatically detect and simplify key elements in the image. This feature uses smart technology to minimize distractions and highlight the most important parts of your image. Adjust the Detail slider to simplify more or less of the content until it fits your needs. You can manually tweak the image to fit your needs. Choose custom colors to match your brand palette and use Quick Styles to add or adjust common UI elements like buttons or icons.

Step 3: Save and share your simplified image
Once you’ve simplified the image, save it in your desired format and share it with colleagues or clients. Whether it’s being used for training, documentation, or anything else, your image will maintain a clean, professional appearance.
