Windows 11 Snipping Tool

The Snipping Tool in Windows 11 combines the functionality of the classic Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, offering a versatile tool for capturing screenshots. To open the Snipping Tool, press Windows + Shift + S. This opens a snipping bar with options for the rectangular snip, freeform snip, window snip, and full-screen snip. After capturing a screenshot, it is saved to the clipboard, and a notification allows you to annotate, save, or share the snip. You can also access the Snipping Tool via the Start menu by searching “Snipping Tool.” This updated tool provides a seamless and efficient way to capture and manage screenshots in Windows 11.
After downloading and installing, the setup creates two shortcuts. One on Desktop and one in Start Menu. You can use these shortcuts to start snipping.
