How to use Snipping Tool
- Take a screenshot of your PC screen to copy words or images from all or part of it. Make adjustments or take notes with the Snipping Tool, then save and share.
- You might also want to try another screenshot app in Windows 10. You’ll get an invitation and keyboard shortcut to Snip & Sketch while opening Snipping Tool. For more info on this app, see How to take and annotate screenshots on Windows 10.
- Capture any of the following types of snips:
| Free-form snip | Draw a free-form shape around an object. |
| Rectangular snip | Drag the cursor around an object to form a rectangle. |
| Window snip | Select a window, such as a dialog box, that you want to capture. |
| Full-screen snip | Capture the entire screen. |
When you capture a snip, it’s automatically copied to the Snipping Tool window where you make changes, save, and share.
