A cool tool you might not even know existed

Using keyboard shortcuts with Snipping Tool or Snip and Sketch just makes life easier. Both Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, which can be used to take screenshots of your computer screen, are already part of your Windows 10.

We can also take screenshots with OneNote, if we have it. Keep in mind that these two tools may not be ideal for every situation. Check out our ultimate guide to taking screenshots for more information.

For a Windows utility that has been around for 17 years, many people still don’t know it exists. It’s a simple, easy to use screenshot utility. You can use it to capture an entire window, a rectangular portion of your screen, or use the freeform tool to draw around things and capture only that uniquely shaped portion of the screen.
