Why Snipping tool?
Snipping tool helps us to quickly select and copy the portion of image on the screen which we want it for the further use.
As before if we want the content which is on the screen, we were taking the screen shot of it and then go to paint then, crop then, copy then, paste it was a bit long procedure and quite time consuming.
By using Snipping tool you will be able to take the content which is on the screen in an effective way which saves some time.
