In this guide, you will learn different methods on how to screenshot on Windows and where to find them on Windows 10. The new “ Snip & Sketch” tool is a replacement for Snipping Tool and is relatively easy to use. Snip & Sketch, Snipping Tool are both built-in apps on Windows 10. Tap on it and you should be able to customize screen snip notifications.įor more queries or issues, let me know in the comments below or come hang out with me on Twitter.There are several apps and shortcuts available to capture the screen on Windows. Just head over to the Notification & App Settings, sort the app notifications by most recent and you would have “Snip & Sketch” on top of this list. In the recent Windows 10 update, you have the option to disable notification banners and action center notifications separately. In case you don’t want the notification pop-up every single time you take a snip, you can disable it through the “Notification & App Settings”. Moreover, you also get a share button which makes it handy to either share the image via Microsoft mail or nearby Windows devices by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Within the app, you get numerous options to crop, annotate, highlight, add notes in the image. You can open the app via the Start menu search or click on the app notification in the Action Center. To do that, you have to save the image via the ‘Snip and Sketch’ app. The screenshots are not saved as an image automatically. You can easily do a “Ctrl + v” to paste the screenshot in apps like Slack, WhatsApp or Gmail. Once you have taken the snip, the image is pasted on your clipboard automatically. Do note that, in order to snap an app window snip, it needs to be running in the foreground.
You can either take a rectangular snip, a free-form snip, a fullscreen snip, and of course, app window snip which automatically detects the selected window once you hover your cursor over it. The Snip toolbar includes four different options. Alternatively, you can even access the “Snip & Sketch” tool through the Windows Start menu. This will trigger the Windows snip and you would see a small toolbar at the top with everything else faded out.
Unlike the conventional Snipping Tool, you cant trigger Windows Snip directly by pressing Win+Shift+S. The new Windows snip seems more handy with a non-intrusive interface that works well with the clipboard manager. All the features of the Snipping Tool are carried forward in Snip & Sketch with cosmetic overhauls. With the end of support for Windows 7 just a month away, Microsoft will eventually remove these tools in a future Windows 10 update. The “Snipping Tool” is a legacy utility being carried forward from Windows 7 like the Control Panel.
