Since it is called Snipaste, you'd probably assumed already that it supports pasting functionality as well.
While that is handy already, it is only part of the application's capabilities. SnagIt for instance loads the image in an editor where it can be edited afterwards. The display of the editing options on the desktop make the operation a bit quicker than with the majority of comparable tools. A tap on the save icon opens the file browser that you use to save it.
Tools include what most users require such as an option to draw an arrow, add text, erase or blur, highlight, or draw rectangles around certain parts of the screenshot. You can move the screenshot, or use one of the available tools instead. Once you make a selection editing tools are displayed directly on the screen. There is also a color picker tool included which shows the color underneath the mouse cursor and lets you copy it to the clipboard with a tap on the "c" key on the keyboard. The program displays a magnifier by default which magnifies what is underneath the mouse cursor so that it is easier to fine tune the borders of the screenshot. You can still draw a custom sized rectangle around an area on the screen though so that is covered by the program as well. This is not a new concept as many programs in the vertical support this, but it is welcome as it makes things easier more often than not. Move the mouse around and Snipaste will select windows or areas on the screen automatically as a suggestion. Instead, it mapped the functionality on the F1 key.Ī tap on F1, or a click on the program's icon opens selection mode. Snipaste does not use the usual keyboard shortcuts - using the Print-key on the keyboard - to power its screenshot taking functionality. You may control the program directly through the system tray icon or by using keyboard shortcuts. Like most screenshot taking tools, it sits quietly in the background waiting for input.
#Using snipaste download#
Windows users can download a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the program for their devices - there is a version for XP as well - and run it right after extraction from that location.
#Using snipaste free#
Snipaste falls into the free screenshot taking tools group. On the free side, there are excellent programs such as Greenshot or ShareX, options to take shots right from Firefox's Developer Toolbar, or paid programs like SnagIt.
There are numerous free and paid screenshot programs out there for Windows, and it is usually difficult to convince users to try a new program once they have set their mind on using a particular program.
