If you wish to make a snip of the app you’re using, your desktop, or an image you just found on the Web, Free Snipping Tool offers you a free and extremely easy-to-use solution. All you have to do is “cut” the area that you want to include in your snip – then add text, free-hand messages, and some nice SmartArt and shapes, and save it as an image or share it to your favorite site straightaway.

Working with Free Snipping Tool is like capturing a custom area in a standard capture-screen application. You don’t have all the other tools that those programs usually offer regarding capturing the active window or the entire desktop, but you have other options instead. You can draw a square, a rectangle, or a circle on your snip before saving it, add text (either using the Text tool or a free-hand writing tool), lines, arrows, paint a certain area with the brush or the pencil, and even pick colors from the image itself and use them together with your palette.

There are two features that give this free tiny tool a special character. One of them is the option to generate a QR code of the latest snip you’ve created so that you can refer to that image from a document, poster, flyer, etc. The second is the possibility to share your snips to social sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, directly from the program just by selecting the right option from the share menu. more
