What will happen to Windows 10 Snippets and how are the new screenshots

Windows 10 offers users a practical tool to take screenshots, without the need to install any add-ons in our browser. In addition, thanks to the tool, we can write and take notes on the same capture, save it and share it with our contacts. But you can already try the new tool called 'Trim and Annotation'.

New screenshot tool in Windows 10

To access this tool, all you have to do is have the Windows 10 operating system installed on your computer. Then, in the search engine that we find at the bottom left of the screen, we have to write ' Snipping Tool '. A window will open and we will have to click on the first result that appears.

Next, a small window will appear that sends us a notice. And it is that, in a future Windows update, the application will change its location, although it is not specified which one. However, we now have the possibility to test the new functions of the Clipping tool by clicking on the ' Test Clipping and Annotation ' button.

When pressing this button a new screen will appear in which we will see new functions of the tool. Now, we can 'program' the appearance of the capture tool for three or ten seconds, enough time for you to prepare well what you want to capture.

A shortcut you can take to turn the cropping tool is by pressing the Windows + Shift + S button . If we press this key combination correctly, the screen will darken and a top menu will appear with several icons. With the first one we will make a capture, selecting with the mouse the area that we want to capture. As soon as we have the area to capture, it will be copied directly to the clipboard. To edit the capture we will open the Paint application and press CTRL + V. The capture will be pasted and we can save it in JPEG.

However, if we want to edit the capture without using paint we can 'click' on the preview that appears at the bottom of the right. The capture will open in the 'Trim and Annotation' application and we can write on it, using the pencil icons and highlighters .

In the subsequent icons we will be able to make free-form captures and automatic captures of the entire visible part of the screen.
