Snipping Tool

  • Snipping Tool is a screenshot utility included in Windows Vista and later.
  • It can take screenshots of an open window, rectangular areas, a free-form area, or the entire screen.
  • Snips can then be annotated using a mouse or a tablet, stored as an image file (PNG, GIF, or JPEG file) or an MHTML file, or e-mailed.
  • Snipping Tool allows for basic image editing of the snapshot, with different colored pens, an eraser, and a highlighter.
