Snipaste
Snipaste
Snipaste is a simple but powerful snipping tool, and also allows you to pin the screenshot back onto the screen. Download and start the application, press F1 to start snipping, then press F3 to paste it as a floating window. That's it! You can also convert text or color info in the clipboard into a floating image window. Such windows can be zoomed, rotated, flipped, made translucent, and even made click-through! If you are a programmer, a designer or whoever works much time before the computer, you will be surprised how it can help you get your work done more efficiently! Snipaste is easy and intuitive to use, but there are also many hidden features that can make your life even more efficient. Read the manual if you are interested. Snipaste has to stay in background, because it is indeed a 'paste' tool, which requires it to keep running. You may use it just for snipping, but you cannot demand it to be a pure snipping tool.

    Pros: Its one of the main strength is its simplicity which provides easy to use interface for capturing screenshots. The tool's efficiency in quickly capturing & editing screenshots makes it convenient option for in the fly image annotations.

    Cons: Advanced editing features are relatively basics compared to its peer competitors.

    Overall: My overall experience with snip & sketch has been positive, particularly for quick & straightforward screenshots tasks.

    "Capturing anything from desktop with ease"

    Posted 2024-01-04

    Pros: Its main feature is its very simple to use, Anything you need to cut & save from screen its just a snip away with this software. Also the various screenshot options from full screen to free cut gives great versatility for different capture needs.

    Cons: It only contains basic annotations for captured edits, if it could have those advanced options also then it will seem perfect.

    Overall: My overall experience says that Snip & Sketch proves to be a handy & Straightforward tool for capturing & annotating screenshots from screen.

    "Not as good as Snipping Tool"

    Posted 2023-07-11

    Pros: Comes with less security vulnerabilities as Snipping Tool. Other than that there is absolutely nothing to recommend this except that it comes bundled with Windows.

    Cons: Awful design and less intuitive than the Snipping Tool it replaces.

    Overall: Use an alternative product if you cannot live with Snipping Tool - otherwise use Snipping Tool instead and don't bother with this.

    Newer is not always better, and this is true in this case.

    "Freezes computer, have to do a hard reset."

    Posted 2023-03-06

    Pros: Very easy to use with intuitive controls. Simple, but very useful. Nothing that you don't need in a screenshot and editing tool.

    Cons: Freezes my computer and causes me to hard reset, losing any work that was unsaved.

    Overall: Great except it's not useable. Microsoft has known about this issues since mid-2021. Why has it not been fixed in 2023?

    "Buggy?"

    Edited 2022-02-05

    Pros: Seems intuitive and easy to use. Has a ruler and protractor (but they do seem buggy). Liked the ability to save and clip and paste easily the annotated images.

    Cons: Could not, despite internet research, remove the overlaid ruler (or protractor) from the screenshot file, nor could I erase just one drawn object created by using those two tools. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No other suggestions found. Feb 2022.

    Overall: Less than optimal. Led me to reach alternatives such as ScreenRec and Greenshot etc. Shame that Microsoft did not create a full tools menu.
