How to screen snip on Windows 11

Using the Snipping Tool is one of the easiest ways to take a screenshot. If you’ve taken screenshots using Windows before, you’re probably familiar with the Snipping Tool. This version of the tool combines the original Snipping Tool with the Snip & Sketch Tool. Follow these instructions to open the Snipping Tool and get started:

1. Press Windows logo key+Shift+S to open the Snipping Tool directly.
2. After entering the keyboard shortcut, you’ll see a box at the top of your computer.
3. Choose between the following screenshot options: (from left to right) rectangular selection, freehand selection, window, or full-screen capture.
4. Pick the rectangular selection or use freehand selection to highlight a designated screenshot area for an active window or your full screen.
5. Look for a thumbnail image of your selection at the lower-right-hand corner of your screen after capturing your screenshot.
6. The Snipping Tool copies your screenshot directly to your clipboard, so you can paste (CTRL+V) your image into another app if needed.

How do I edit with the Snipping Tool?

Personalize your screenshot with the Snipping Tool’s user-friendly interface. Simply open the thumbnail at the bottom of your screen and select from the variety of tools available. Highlight, crop, color, and write on your screenshot using various shapes and fonts. If you’re working with a touchscreen, draw on your screenshot directly using your finger or a stylus. When you’re done, you can:

• Save your screenshot and any edits by selecting the floppy disk icon.
• Send your image to friends, family, or colleagues using the share option.
• Print your image.
• Open your image in another app via the menu options.

How to take a screenshot using the Print Screen key

How to capture your working screen

1. Select the window you want to screenshot.
2. Press ALT+Print Screen.
3. Paste (CTRL+V) into an Office program or app of your choice.

How to capture your entire screen

1. Position everything you want to copy to your liking.
2. Press Print Screen.
3. Paste (CTRL+V) into an Office program or app of your choice.

You could try a very entry level solutuon.
1. open your photo
2. right click on it and select 'copy'
3. go to not606, in the box where you type your message right click again and select paste.

Your photo should appear and you just post it. It might be bigger than you'd like but then you need to read SW3's instructions.

 

Tried that Plum, that's when it told me it was too big.

It's pissing me off now that I can't do it, so i'll leave it while tomorrow after i've had a sleep.
Thanks fellas, i'll get there even if I have to bring one of me grankids to do it.

 

deffo the best solution!

 

Just tried but it said file size too large

 

Off PC or your phone?

PC - send to phone - screen shot - post.

Phone - screen shot - post.

 

If doing that not606 tells you the image is too large go back to where the pictures are, gallery or file click on the picture and then you should have an edit option. There may be an option to reduce the resolution or just edit the actual size of the picture by removing bits off the edges.

I'm no techy.

 

On here there isn’t a lot of difference!!!!

 

As much as I like Rover as a poster, I have a funny feeling, he’d struggle to find his arse with both hands!

 

I couldn't possibly comment.*









* I have no idea how to post a picture.
