Better Alternatives to Snipping Tool for Windows 11?

Hello everyone,

 

I've been using the Snipping Tool on Windows 11, but I find it quite hard to use. In addition, it lacks the editing features I need. I'm looking for recommendations for alternative screenshot tools that are user-friendly and come with robust editing capabilities. Ideally, the alternative should offer features such as:

  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Advanced editing tools (annotations, text, shapes, etc.)
  • Ability to capture different types of screenshots (full screen, window, region, scrolling)

Please suggest a better better Snipping Tool for Windows 11.

    I recently tried using the built-in Snipping Tool on Windows 11 to take screenshots of some lengthy tech blog posts, and I've got to say, it was a letdown. The tool just doesn't support scrolling screenshots, which is a major oversight in functionality for anyone trying to capture more than what's visible on the screen.

     

    The process of trying to manually capture multiple sections of a webpage and then stitching them together is just tedious and time-consuming. It defeats the purpose of having a quick and efficient screenshot tool. Plus, there's always the issue of not getting the alignments right, which just looks sloppy.

    Sinppling tool works for me, I used it take screenshot for my project. If you want to take a long screenshot, you can use Chrome. 

     

    View the web page you want to save, then press Ctrl + P on your keyboard to bring up the print dialog. A little weird, huh? But hear me out—you won't actually be printing anything. Simply switch the print destination to "PDF" and watch how the "Print" button turns into a "Save" button. Neat trick, huh? Now you can save your file anywhere you want, even directly to Google Drive!
