Windows Snipping Tool


Use the Snipping Tool to Capture Screenshots

Teachers and students alike should know how to use the Snipping Tool that's built into Windows. It's great for creating quick screen-shots!

Capture all or part of your PC screen, add notes, save the snip, or email it from the Snipping Tool window.  You can 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 browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
  • Full screen snip: Capture the entire screen.

After you capture a snip, it's automatically copied to the Snipping Tool window. From there you can annotate, save, or share the snip.
