How To Use Snipping Tool In Windows 10 [Tutorial]

This tutorial will show you how to take a picture of your screen in Windows using a built-in application called the Snipping Tool.
Sometimes the easiest way to make a copy of something is to take a snapshot of your screen-this is what Snipping Tool does. Use it to save and share news stories, movie reviews, or recipes.
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.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for posting this awesome tutorial. My mom called me from work because she wanted to know how to take a screenshot. I have a mac computer at home so although I knew how to take one on the PC, it was really hard to walk her through the process over the phone with just words. I then found this tutorial, sent it to her, and she said it was perfect. Thanks a lot! Really appreciate you doing this :)

How to take long screenshots for multiple pages?

[@EnriqueGarcia25]

I use Snipping Tool at work. When I double click to launch the app, it goes directly new image without having to select New. It doesn't do that in my home computer. I like to know how can I make it go directly to New everytime I launch the app?

[@shamsulislam7626]

Thanks for the knowledge dear, very kind of you, i wonder if i can fix the tool permanently on rectangular or any other snip rather than hitting NEW every time , can you help me in this regard please.

[@lyzmartin2580]

[@jeanfroud2629]

I need a snipping tool that works like the old windows/prt scr - so that the snip will automatically go to the screenshots folder and automatically save each snip as a separate file. If I wish to change the file name I will do that manually at a later time. With this current snipping tool I have not figured how to does this automatically. Please advise.!

[@estellewood4643]

Hi there! I enjoyed your tutorial very much. I'm not a whiz and it was easy for me to understand. My problem is my email. I snipped a screenshot and attached it to an email. It came back as "undeliverable." It stated that "this file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action." "Create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." I have tried to associate the two, but without any luck. Would you please be able to tell me how to accomplish this? Thank you.

[@MDTechVideos]

Just do control+C and paste into the email if you can't attach directly.

What do you mean?

@@MDTechVideos A long page screenshot.

[@Kay2be2mr]

@@MDTechVideos He means when you need to snip something that is bigger than the screen allows. I have the same question because I'm a teacher and I need to be able to snip PDF documents to later insert on Google slides. But because the snipping tool won't allow me to scroll down I always have to zoom out in order to capture the full image, which results in blurring. I have been leaving this question on every video I can involving the snipping tool and no one has replied to me. It's like no one knows how to fix this problem.
