How to use Snipping Tool in Windows 10

Snipping Tool is a Microsoft Windows screenshot tool included in Windows 10. It can take still screenshots known as snips of an open window, rectangular areas, a free-form area, or the entire screen. Snips can then be annotated using a mouse or a tablet, stored as an image file (PNG, GIF, or JPEG file) or an MHTML file, or e-mailed. Snipping Tool allows for basic image editing of the snapshot, with different colored pens, an eraser, and a highlighter. You also have the ability to export your snip to Paint 3D to edit your snip more thoroughly. This paragraph was taken from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipping_Tool

*Full Screen Snip was not covered as I had personally missed it. This is because Full-screen snip only appears when you click "New" after selecting a mode already. You see the usual transparent white screen. To select full-screen snip click again on the arrow near "mode" and you should be able to select Full-screen mode.

When you save a Snip you have the ability to save it as PNG, GIF, or JPEG and a MHTML file. By default Snips are saved as PNG. In this video all snips were saved as PNG fyi.
