You can set a 3- or 10-second delay to give yourself enough time to adjust what appears on your screen. Capture the entire screen, capture the window, or a custom portion of the screen using either the rectangle tool or freeform tool. The toolbar at the top of the screen gives you several different capture options. Snip and Sketch sports Windows 10's simple, flat design interface elements. You can also assign it to the PrtScn hotkey. Once it’s installed, you can launch Snip and Sketch at any time by pressing Window key+Shift+S. While Snipping Tool came built into Windows, currently you need to download Snip and Sketch through Microsoft’s online store. However, people with greater screen capture needs (and a bigger budget) should look to Snagit, PCMag's Editors' Choice for screen-capture utilities.

This move was hailed at Snipping Tool's launch, as the app offered advantages over the good, ol' PrtScr+Paint option. Since Vista, Microsoft has included a screen-capture utility with Windows: Snipping Tool.
