How to screenshot in Windows 11 with the Snipping Tool
Windows 11’s Snipping Tool is relatively simple, but it packs everything you need to create all kinds of screenshots. When you open Snipping Tool, this is what you get:
The Snipping Tool app
As you can see, it’s a relatively small window with only a few buttons and information. However, its simple interface cleverly hides various screenshotting options and features, as you’ll soon find out.
First of all, Snipping Tool’s menu gives you the + New button. Clicking or tapping on it initiates the screenshotting process. You can also start by using the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key + Shift + S. But, before taking your first Windows 11 screenshot, you should understand what screen capture Modes are available.
The New button from Snipping Tool
Next to the + New button, you see the screenshot type enabled in Snipping Tool. By default, it’s called Rectangle mode. If you click or tap on it, Windows 11’s Snipping Tool shows you a list of four different screenshot modes:
- Rectangle mode: lets you take rectangular screenshots, which you define using your mouse or using touch
- Window mode: takes a screenshot of the window you select by clicking or tapping on it
- Full-screen mode: captures the entire area of your screen
- Free-form mode: allows you to use your mouse or touch to draw freely any form on your screen
You can select any screenshot mode you’d like to use before even taking a screenshot, but it’s not mandatory, as you can also switch between them during the actual screenshotting process.
Screenshot modes in Snipping Tool
When you’re ready to take a screenshot in Windows 11, either press the + New button from the Snipping Tool window or use the Win + Shift + S keyboard shortcut. Then, your entire screen dims, and a small menu shows up at the top-center of the screen. There, you can switch between the four screenshotting options.
Snip options for taking a screenshot
After choosing the type of screenshot you want, with your mouse or using touch, select the area you want to capture. For example, in the image below, you can see what taking a freeform screenshot in Windows 11 looks like.

Editing a screenshot taken with the Snipping Tool
Let’s take a look at the editing tools provided by Windows 11’s Snipping Tool:
How to edit and save your screenshots with the Snipping Tool app
Snipping Tool makes it easy and fast to edit and annotate your screenshot immediately after you take it. As you can see in the following image, you get all the basics you need for editing:
- Ballpoint pen: imitates a real-life ballpoint pen which you can use to write or even draw things on your screenshot, using your mouse or using touch
- Highlighter: lets you emphasize or underscore if you prefer, parts of the screenshot you just took
- Eraser: removes edits or changes you already made using other tools
- Ruler: allows you to make measurements on the screenshot
- Touch Writing: if you enable this option, you can use your fingers, stylus, or mouse to write things more easily on the screenshot you just took

- Undo & Redo: go back or forward through the changes you’ve made to your screenshot
To help you understand the editing interface of Windows 11’s Snipping Tool, here’s an overview of the options available:

Opening Snipping Tool's Settings
You can open the same menu and access the Settings even if you already have a screenshot loaded in Snipping Tool.
How to open Snipping Tool's Settings when editing a screenshot
The first thing you find inside Snipping Tool’s Settings is a section called Shortcuts. By default, it tells you that the standard key for opening the Snipping Tool is PrtScn (Print Screen). However, if you don’t want to use that, click or tap on “Change in Settings.”

Going back to the Snipping Tool Settings, the next section is all about Snipping options. Depending on how you want the app to work, you can enable or disable the following switches:
- Auto copy to clipboard: by default, this switch is on, and it makes the Snipping Tool automatically copy the screenshot you take in Windows 11’s clipboard
- Save snips: disabled by default; this switch controls whether the Snipping Tool should ask you if you want to save your work when you close the application, and you have a screenshot loaded in it.
- Multiple windows: if you turn this switch on, each screenshot you take will be open in its own separate Snipping Tool window.
- Snip outline allows you to automatically add a border to the screenshot you take with the Snipping Tool. Furthermore, when you enable this switch, you also get a preview of what the outline looks like, and you can choose its Color and Thickness.
