Tip: you don't need scissors

When it comes to taking a screenshot on Windows, there is no dearth of options. But the most flexible and versatile method has always been the Windows Snipping Tool. From taking delayed screenshots to editing the captured images, the built-in tool boasts of a ton of useful features.

And while Microsoft had planned to phase out the tool for a while, it has now changed course and merged it with the Snip & Sketch tool. The resulting app has a cleaner UI and is packed with more features than ever before, making it the best way to take snapshots of your screen.

When Windows 10 came out, Microsoft announced a new replacement for the Snipping Tool: Snip & Sketch. This app would allow users to take screenshots faster and draw on those snips, such as circling important features, etc.
