A lot of tools are available to take screenshots on Windows computers. It includes both premium and free ones. But, Windows devices come with a pre-installed tool called Snipping Tool, owned by Microsoft. The utility is available in all kinds of Windows versions, including Windows Vista. If you’re a new user to Snipping Tool, you may find it difficult to use this tool. So, we will briefly show how to use the Snipping Tool to take, edit, save, and share screenshots.
The following guide will apply for all versions, including the latest Windows 10.
How to Use the Snipping Tool
To launch the snipping tool, head to Start menu, type Snipping Tool, and launch the tool from the search results. As Snipping Tool doesn’t have a specified keyboard shortcut to open, you can pin the Snipping tool to the taskbar for regular use.
Take Screenshots
Firstly, select what kind of snip mode you want to take. There are four choices available in Snipping Tool: Free-form Snip, Rectangular Snip, Window Snip, and Full-screen Snip. The first mode lets you draw free form shape, the rectangular mode takes a screenshot in a rectangular shape, the Windows mode lets you snip the current window, and the last one snips the entire screen.
Click the drop-down icon located next to the Mode menu and select your snip mode. Once you selected the mode, click New and snip the area that you want to capture.
Take Delayed Screenshots
Taking delayed screenshots is one of the major highlights of the Snipping Tool. You can delay the screenshots for up to five seconds. The advantage of this feature is that you can screenshot a certain menu or Windows that close while selecting the Snipping Tool. Click the Delay menu located next to Mode and select your time. Once selected, click New and snip the area after the respective seconds.
Annotate or Edit the Screenshot
Once taken the screenshot, the image will open on the editor automatically. From there, you can write, highlight, or draw anything on the image. For this, the Snipping Tool provides two editing tools: Pen and highlighter.
To customize the pen color, click the drop-down icon located next to the pen icon. It will display three options: Red, Blue, and Black.
By clicking on the customize menu, you can select more colors and change the thickness & tip of the pen. There are three thickness levels available: Fine, Medium, and Thick.
Use Eraser
If you have used a pen and highlighter to select the wrong portion on the image, use the eraser to correct the mistakes. Click the Eraser menu next to the highlighter and tap on the incorrect annotations you have made.
Edit with Paint 3D
The integration with Paint 3D lets you add filters, text, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, stickers, and much more to your screenshots. You can also crop the unwanted portions on your screenshot. Click the Paint 3D icon, and the image will open on the Paint 3D app automatically.

By clicking on the Email icon, you can share the edited screenshots directly from the Snipping Tool.
To save the screenshot, click the Save icon next to the Delay menu. You can save the screenshot in four different formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, and MHT (HTML file). Select the destination folder and save your image.

You will find several tools for taking screenshots on Windows 10, but very few to annotate them. Snip & Sketch is a feature-rich option built into Windows that lets you annotate the screenshots besides taking them.
Snip & Sketch is an improved version of the Snipping Tool and makes it easy to annotate on screenshots. We’ll dive into detail on how to annotate screenshots using Windows 10’s Snip & Sketch tool.
Take a Screenshot with Snip & Sketch
You start by taking a screenshot using the Snip & Sketch tool in Windows 10. To open the tool, press the Windows key and type “Snip and Sketch” in the Windows Search. From the results, select “Open,” or press the Enter key to launch Snip & Sketch.
After the Snip & Sketch window opens, select the “New” button in the top-right corner to take a fresh screenshot (or snip, as Microsoft calls it).
Click the downward arrow button to choose a timer or a delayed screenshot option—Snip in 3 Seconds or Snip in 10 seconds.
When you’re ready to take a new screenshot, a Snipping bar will appear at the top of the screen with five buttons—Rectangular, Freeform, Window, Fullscreen, and Close.
Pick the relevant button to take a screenshot and click to let it open in a Snip & Sketch window.
If you want to annotate a screenshot or an image that’s already on your computer, you can drag and drop it in the Snip & Sketch window.
Annotate Screenshots in Snip & Sketch
Once your screenshot or image opens in the Snip & Sketch window, you can annotate and write anything on top of it. By default, Snip & Sketch bundles three different annotation tools—Pen, Pencil, and Highlighter at the top.
Click on the ballpoint pen icon at the top to use a pen to write or scribble on the screenshot. Select the ballpoint pen icon again to open its menu to change the color of the annotation stroke. Also, you can adjust the slider to increase or decrease the stroke’s thickness.
If you want a grainy stroke (like if you were using a pencil), select the pencil icon to pick it. Click on it again to change the stroke color and to adjust the slider for stroke thickness.
On the screenshot, you can mark the text or specific areas with the highlighter tool. For that, click on the highlighter icon at the top to select it. Select the icon again to pick between the six available colors and to use the slider to adjust the highlight marker’s thickness.
If you want to draw a perfectly straight line on the screenshots, you can use the ruler tool. Select the ruler icon at the top, and a virtual ruler will show up on your screenshot. You can rotate the ruler using your mouse’s scroll wheel or with two fingers on the trackpad.
Similarly, there’s a protractor for drawing a circle or semi-circle on a screenshot. You can reduce or increase the size of the protractor using your mouse’s scroll wheel.
You can use the eraser tool to remove any annotations by clicking the Eraser icon at the top. After selecting the eraser tool, right-click and select the stroke that you want to remove from the screenshot. Alternatively, you can keep the right-click pressed to remove more than one (or all annotations) at a time.
After annotating the screenshot, you can either save it to your PC’s hard drive, copy it to another app, or share it directly with others.
Now that you have figured out how to get or open the Snipping Tool on Windows 10, the next thing you are to do is learning to use it to take snapshots of Windows 10.
You are rather sure how to take advantage of the Print screen key and some physical button combo to save news, stories, etc. But each of them has their own demerits, for instance, the Print screen can only take full-screen snapshots.
On the contrary, as for the Snipping Tool on Windows systems, people are not so familiar with what it is and how to use it. In this case, this post emerged.
You can clearly see from the Snipping Tool window that there are only four tabs—New, Mode, Delay and Options.
Wondering how can it make snapshots for Windows 10? Let’s move on to learn more about the usage of snipping tool.
1. Snip Screenshots
Once you opened the Snipping Tool, click Mode to choose which snipping mode you would like to use to capture the snapshot.
Here you can see from the screenshot there are four kinds of snips in Mode.
For Free-form Snip, you are able to draw a casual around the object you want to take snapshots.
For Rectangular Snip, use the cursor to draw a rectangle around the targeted object.
For Window Snip, just to choose to the window to snip.
For Full-screen Snip, the entire screen would be captured.
2. Screenshot a menu
With the Snipping Tool, it is also available for you to capture a snip of the menu on Windows 10, which cannot be finished by the Print Screen key.
First off, open the menu you would like to take a screenshot and then press Ctrl + PrintScreen to capture the whole screen.
At last, hit Mode in Snipping Tool and then select a type of cutting.
3. Annotate the Screenshots
After you have selected a snipping mode, there is a need for you to snip the picture.
You need to use the Pen to highlight what the importance is in this snapshot.
Here the screenshot is in the Rectangular mode with the drawing Pen.
4. Save the Snips
Soon after you took the snapshot with the Windows snipping tool, you must save it in the location you can find it the next time.
Just right click the snip to Save As and then set the name, file location for it.
Or you can manage to Send to share the screenshots with others.
5. Remove the URL
It is only used when you want to snip a browser window.
In Snipping Tool, choose Options, which is on the right of the window.
Then uncheck the box for Include RUL below snips (HTML only).
Here you can see it is also accessible to Hide instruction text, Prompt to save snips before exiting, change Ink color, etc.
On that occasion, you can make full use of the Snipping Tool to capture snips on Windows 10.
Let the Brain solve I.T. for you!
One of the common tasks that people do throughout the week is to take and send screenshots. They may need to point out a problem on a website or within a cloud platform, or they may need a quick way to get input on a graphic without sending a huge file.
Within Windows 10 there is a pretty handy business solution for screenshots called the Snipping Tool (aka: Snip & Sketch Tool).
How this differs from other screenshots tools you may have, like a screenshot button on a keyboard or a snipping tool in Chrome , is that it can be used from within Outlook in addition to anywhere you may be on your computer.
You also have multiple options in how you take a screenshot, which allows you to get the exact part of a screen you need into your image.
Using The Snipping Tool in Outlook
First, we’ll go through how to use the Snipping Tool from within Outlook to quickly email a screenshot. Then, we’ll get into the more robust Snip & Sketch Tool.
Open your message, make sure your cursor is clicked into the message body, and then choose the Insert menu.
Click on the Screenshot icon.
You’ll see options to screenshot any open windows you have. You can also choose Screen Clipping at the bottom.
If you click one of your Available Windows, a screenshot of that entire window will be taken and automatically appear in your email message. Note: You may want to resize the image.
Using the screen clipping option will pull up the first window that you have open and allow you to drag your cursor to take a screenshot of just a portion of that window, rather than the entire thing.
Once you let go of your cursor, that part of the screenshot will automatically appear inserted into your email message.
This is a quick an easy way to take and email screenshots from within Outlook.
Using the Snipping Tool Outside Outlook
If you’re not in Outlook and want to use the Snip & Sketch tool to take a screenshot, the easiest way to access it is by keyboard command:
Press: Windows Key + Shift + S
You have four different options for taking your screenshot:
Once you take the screenshot, you’ll see a thumbnail show up in the lower right corner of your screen.
Click the image to open the full Snip & Sketch Tool.
From here you can mark up the screenshot with a set of basic tools (that’s how we got that red arrow in the photo above). You can also crop the screenshot.
This is really helpful if you’re trying to drag across a particular region with a black outline and can’t seen to get it just right. Take more of the outline than you may want in the screenshot and use the Snip & Sketch Tool to crop it. (Much easier!)
What Can You Do Inside the Snip & Sketch Tool?
Beyond the editing features we already mentioned, you can do a lot more once you have your screenshot open inside the Snip & Sketch Tool.
Here is a rundown of the menu options.
Click New to chose between taking a screenshot:
The editing group of icons across the top allow you to use:
The next group of icons, on the right, allow you to zoom, save, copy, and send your screenshot.
The send option allows you to send by email, through OneNote, in Microsoft’s Feedback Hub, or through another app you install.
The “three dots” menu gives you the following options:
Snipping Tool Settings
You get a few more settings you can use to customize your screenshot tool. This includes:
· Auto copy your screenshots to clipboard
· Ask to save snips before closing
· Open snips in more than one window
· Automatically put an outline on all your screenshots
How to Get Saved Screenshots into Outlook
If you already have a screenshot saved on your computer that you want to use in an email, you have two ways you can do this:
· Attach as an email attachment: Do this by either using the Attach File option on Outlook’s Home menu or drag and drop your image from a folder over your email message.
· Insert the screenshot in the email: Use this when you want the screenshot to be seen in the email message without needing to open the attachment. The easiest way to do this is to use the very top Search box and type “insert” and then chose the Insert Picture option.
