What is the Best Snipping Tool for MacBook Pro Sonoma?

Hey all,

I'm a long-time Windows user who's just switched to a Mac, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to take and edit screenshots. On Windows, I used to rely heavily on the premium Fastone snipping tool, but I haven't found an equivalent on Mac that lets me add text, shapes, and other annotations easily. Does the built-in Mac snipping tool have these editing features, or should I be looking for third-party apps?

Is there any snipping tool that work well on a MacBook Pro M2. It could be a big plus with user-friendly UI and robust editing capabilities. Free options would be awesome, but I'm also willing to consider paid snipping tools if they offer a significant advantage.

Thanks

MacBook Pro (M2, 2022)

The built-in snipping tool is very powerful but if doesn't meet your needs, there is a 3rd party app that is excellent for what you have mentioned in terms of desired features. That app is called "Snagit" by TechSmith.

The default snipping tool (command + shift + 4) works for taking screenshot on Mac. However, I have hard to make editing on the screenshot. You can try other screenshot tool on Mac such as Xnapper, CleanShot X, Snagit, Lightshot.
