How to use Snip & Sketch to take screenshots in Windows 10
Snip & Sketch is a Windows 10 screenshot tool that Microsoft has introduced with the October 2018 Update. In the future, it is going to replace the Snipping Tool, but so far both apps continue to exist in Windows 10 until Snip & Sketch reaches feature-parity with the Snipping Tools or it outperforms it. Here is how to open Snip & Sketch, the keyboard shortcut for Snip & Sketch, and how to use the app to take screenshots:
What is Snip & Sketch?
Snip & Sketch is a Windows 10 app that was introduced with the October 2018 Update. The app can be used to take screenshots (snip) and make changes to the resulting images (sketch). The Snip & Sketch app refers to screenshots as snips. With it, you can capture the entire screen, an app window, or a region of the screen. You can also use Snip & Sketch to edit screenshots and add annotations and other elements. The sketch capabilities are designed for light editing that people do on a screenshot. You can see how the Snip & Sketch app looks, in the screenshot below.
When you take screenshots, the window of the Snip & Sketch app is hidden and you get a snipping bar on the screen that helps with the screen capturing process. When the screen capture is over, you are back to the Snip & Sketch app with the screenshot loaded and ready for further processing.
Snip & Sketch is an evolution of the old Snipping Tool app that has been around since Windows 7. Microsoft plans to phase out the Snipping Tool in a future Windows 10 update. When you open the Snipping Tool in Windows 10, you get a message saying: "In a future update, Snipping Tool will be moving to a new home. Try improved features and snip like usual with Snip & Sketch (or try the shortcut Windows logo key + Shift + S)."
Let's learn how to open the Snip & Sketch app, how to use the snipping bar, and how to take different types of screenshots.
How to open the Snip & Sketch app in Windows 10
One of the easiest ways to open the Snip & Sketch app is to click or tap on its shortcut from the Start Menu. You can find it in the list of apps that start with the letter S.
An alternative method to open Snip & Sketch is to use search. In the search field on your taskbar, enter the word snip and then click or tap the Snip & Search result.
If you have opened the Snip & Sketch app, you should see a window similar to this one:
You are now ready to take a screenshot or to edit an image using Snip & Sketch.
How to open the snipping bar of the Snip & Sketch app
To take screenshots using Snip & Sketch, you have to use its snipping bar. In the Snip & Sketch window, on the top-left corner, there is a button called New. Click or it. Alternatively, you can also use the Ctrl + N keyboard shortcut.
Note that, if the Snip & Sketch window has been resized to be small, the New button and the rest of the menu might be displayed in the lower part of the app window.
After you have pressed the New button, the entire screen dims and, on the top-center area, the snipping bar appears.
Snip & Sketch keyboard shortcut: How to open the snipping bar using the keyboard
Windows 10 has a built-in keyboard shortcut that you can use to open Snip & Sketch directly in its screenshot-taking mode: Windows + Shift + S. Press the keys simultaneously on the keyboard.
Once you have pressed Windows + Shift + S, the entire screen dims and, on the top-center area, the snipping bar appears.
The Windows + Shift + S shortcut is handy, but it may affect your screen before you have a chance to take your screenshot. For example, if you want to capture an open menu, the Windows + Shift + S shortcut may close it before the screen is captured.
Windows 10 offers the alternative of using the PrtScn key on your keyboard to take screenshots using the Snip & Sketch app. This is not however, enabled by default. You have to change a Windows 10 setting for that to happen. Start by launching the Settings app. The fast way to do it is to press the Windows + I keys on your keyboard simultaneously. Then, head to Ease of Access.
On the left side of Settings, choose Keyboard. On the right side of the window, scroll down until you find a setting called "Print Screen shortcut" and enable the switch that says "Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping."
Right under that setting, Windows 10 also tells you that "Based on other app settings, you might need to restart your PC to see this change." Although it is not mandatory, it is best to reboot so that Windows 10 has no issues in assigning the Print Screen to the Snip & Sketch app. After that, press the PrtScn key on your keyboard to take screenshots with this app.
Then, the snipping bar is displayed on the top side of the screen and you can take a screenshot.
How to open the snipping bar in Windows 10 using its Quick Action button
The Snip & Sketch app also offers a button in the Quick actions panel, which you can use to open the snipping bar. To get to it, open the Notifications & actions panel by clicking/tapping on its button from the bottom-right corner of the screen, or by sliding your finger from the right side of the screen (if you have a touchscreen). You can also press the Windows + A keys on the keyboard. Then click/tap on Expand, and you should see the Screen snip button.
Once you click/tap the Screen snip button, Snip & Sketch loads the snipping bar on the top-center edge of your screen, and you can use it to take a screenshot.
How to take screenshots with Snip & Sketch in Windows 10
Once the snipping bar is shown on the screen, the Snip & Sketch app offers four different ways of choosing which part of the screen is captured:
- Rectangular Snip - take a screenshot of a region of the screen by drawing a rectangular shape with the mouse or using touch.
- Freeform Snip - take a freeform screenshot of the screen by drawing an unrestricted shape.
- Window Snip - take a screenshot of one of the app windows that are found on your screen. This option is available only in Windows 10 with May 2019 Update or newer. It was not available when Snip & Sketch was first released in Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
- Fullscreen Snip - take a screenshot of your entire screen.
By default, the first option - Rectangular Snip - is the one enabled. When you use it, dragging the mouse cursor on the screen takes a screenshot with a rectangular shape, such as in the image below.
If you choose the Freeform Snip, you can drag the mouse cursor on the screen any way you want, to take a screenshot with any shape and size. Here is an example:
If you choose Window Snip, the app is going to dim the whole screen except the window you hover with your mouse cursor (or finger). Click or tap on the window you want to take the screenshot.
If you choose the Fullscreen Snip, the app immediately takes a screenshot of your entire screen. Once you have taken a screenshot, the Snip & Sketch app opens and shows your newly created screenshot. Now you can use the app to edit the screenshot if you wish so.
