The Snipping Tool on Windows is used to capture screenshots or snips of your screen with various shapes and options. How to use Snipping Tool on Windows:

• Open the Snipping Tool by pressing the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Shift + S. Alternatively, you can search for "Snipping Tool" in the Start menu and click to open it.
• After opening, your screen will dim and a small toolbar appears at the top with different snip modes:
  • Rectangle Snip: Drag a rectangle to capture that area.
  • Freeform Snip: Draw any shape to capture.
  • Window Snip: Click on a specific window to capture it.
  • Fullscreen Snip: Capture the entire screen.
• Select the snip mode you want, then use the mouse or touch to select the area or window.
• The captured snip is copied to the Snipping Tool window where you can annotate, highlight, crop, or extract text.
• You can save the snip, copy it, share it, or use editing tools like pen, highlighter, and eraser.
• For video capture, press Windows key + Shift + R to start recording a selected area.
• You can also use features like a color picker to get the color code from your screen or text extractor for text in snips (some features may require Windows Insider).

This tool is very convenient for quick screenshots, editing, and sharing with multiple capture modes and additional AI-powered options on supported PCs.
