Jing is a screencasting computer program launched in 2007 as Jing Project by the TechSmith Corporation.[2] The software takes a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploads it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard.[3] If uploaded to the web, the program automatically creates a URL to the image that can be shared with others.[4] Jing is compatible with Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.[5] Users must sign up for an account before using the software.
Its simple format and the ability to quickly upload screencasts has made Jing useful for virtual reference in libraries.[6]
On 6 January 2009, TechSmith released Jing Pro, a paid premium version of Jing.[7]
