How to take Partial, Freeform, windowed or full screenshot in windows 10
To take the Screenshot, we usually press the Windows key + print screen button, which takes the screenshot of the whole screen. But, if you only need a part of screen, you have to crop the image.
Forget all those things, because I am going to tell you, how to take screenshots like a pro. This is possible with the help of Windows Snip & Sketch (Earlier it was Snipping tool).
Press Windows + Shift + S to open the Snip & sketch directly on the screen.
After pressing the Windows + Shift + S , This will appear on the screen :
As you see in the above Screenshot, you have 4 options for Snipping :
1. Rectangular Snip : to select the desired area in rectangular shape.
2. Freeform Snip : to select the desired area in the shape you want.
3. Windowed Snip : It takes the screenshot of the selected window only, leaving the taskbar and other unwanted parts.
4. Full screen Snip : It is just like taking screenshot by pressing windows + print screen
The Best part of this tool is that the Screenshot is automatically copied to the clipboard. So, if you have to paste it in Word or Powerpoint, you can simply press Ctrl + V.
The Screenshot is not saved unless you save it manually or enable auto saving in its settings.
You can also open it from the Action Center as shown here :
You can also take screenshots by setting timers. The available timers in Snip & sketch are : 3 sec and 10 sec
After taking the screenshot, this tool also gives you some options to edit or highlight the image as shown in the image below :
You can also modify the settings, as shown below :
