It is a tool use to capture a part of your screen and save it as an image to format like .png,.gif or .jpg.
I find it very useful because instead of taking the screenshot of the whole screen, you have the option to choose only a portion of it, and most of the time, that"s what I needed.
You also have the option to draw on it or make a highlight using a pen tool, before you save it.
This tool is already included in Windows, from Vista to 10. If you cannot find it and you are using Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, then just search for it.
This tool is simple but really useful, that's why I wrote a topic about it. Just in case someone is still not aware of that software, which is already included in your Windows system.

Never heard of it nor do I fully understand the mechanics of it or the usefulness of such a tool. A video would help!

I don't know if we can share Youtube link here, but to be safe, you can just visit Youtube and type snipping tool on its search bar. On the first page of the result, you can already find a lot of tutorials on how to use it. You will sure learn from it.

I'll have to dig into my programs again then. I imagine that would be really useful if you have a lot of screenshots taken and they need to be cropped or edited. But if it's just one, the print screen functions works fine for me.
