If you have Windows Vista, you have a free screen capture utility at your fingertips called Snipping Tool. Microsoft includes this with every copy of Vista. I discovered it accidentally when looking through my list of built-in accessories.
- Windows System Requirements. Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012 R2. Windows N requires the Media Foundation Pack.NET 4.6 or later; 2.4 GHz single core processor (dual core i5 required for video capture).

Jing is a different solution than Snagit. They are not the same solution. Snagit is so much more than simply grabbing a screen capture. It is an editing tool for customer collateral, product management, mockups and design. Snipit does none of these very well. It is like Word versus MadCap Flare.
It’s very simple to use. Bring up the program (I go to the start button and type in snipping tool). It will instantly come up. There are only three menu items:

You can also choose to save your snip to your hard drive in various graphic formats. Other useful tools included are a highlighter, eraser and pen for you to add to or enhance your screen capture.
This is a great tool for grabbing a snapshot of something on the web – no more trying to copy and paste something and have it look awful in your email or page.
I was using Jing, which is a free download. I liked it, but my computer had several freeze-ups after installing it. I read a bit about it and people were saying it was using a lot of bandwidth. I believe they’ve corrected this, but I decided to remove it from my system.
Another screen capture tool is SnagIt, by TechSmith. You can try it on a trial basis; cost is $49.95. It has more features than the above free versions.
