How to Use the Snipping Tool to Capture a Partial Screenshot on Windows
The Snipping Tool is a useful utility included in Windows that allows users to capture screenshots of their computer screen. It can be used to take partial screenshots, which are useful for capturing specific areas of the screen or for hiding sensitive information. This guide will explain how to use the Snipping Tool to capture a partial screenshot on Windows.
First, open the Snipping Tool by searching for it in the Start menu or typing “Snipping Tool” into the search bar at the bottom left corner of your desktop. Once you have opened it, click on “New” and select either “Rectangular snip” or “Free-form snip” depending on what shape you want your screenshot to be.
Once you have selected your desired shape, drag your mouse over the area that you want to capture and release when finished. The area will then be highlighted with a red border and an image of it will appear in the Snipping Tool window. You can then save this image by clicking on “File > Save As…” and selecting where you would like it saved as well as what file type (e.g., .png).
And that’s all there is to using the Snipping Tool! With just a few clicks, you can easily capture partial screenshots of any part of your computer screen without having to take full screenshots every time.
