Softonic review

Nifty screenshot tool

The free Snipping Tool program is a tiny, yet powerful utility developed by BlazingTools Software. Designed with user-friendliness and accessibility in mind, this free program offers a straightforward solution for capturing screenshots, making it an indispensable tool in terms of business and productivity.

A straightforward app

Snipping Tool’s primary appeal lies in its simplicity and ease of use. Unlike many other screenshot tools that require installation, this utility is ready to go as soon as you launch it. The application allows users to capture either rectangular or free-shape fragments of their screen with just a few clicks.  

Once a screen capture is made, there are several convenient options for what to do next. The captured image can be copied directly to the clipboard, saved as a file, or even sent via email as an attachment. However, the program lacks editing tools which can make it a more well-rounded solution.

A productivity toolkit must-have

Overall, Snipping Tool is a reliable and highly effective screenshot utility. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a go-to tool for anyone needing to capture and share screen content quickly. While it lacks advanced editing features, its ability to capture specific screen areas makes it valuable nonetheless.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
