When we are browsing the internet and we want to save an image or text that is displayed on the screen, the fastest and easiest solution is take a screenshot, as surely many of you do on your mobile devices, although in this case, there are other better options.
From practically the first versions of Windows, Microsoft allows us to take screenshots. Although at first, we did not have any application natively To do this, we had the Print Screen button, a button located on the right side of the keyboard that is responsible for copying the screen content to the clipboard. An option that is still available today.
If you use a full keyboard, with a numeric block, this button is available on your keyboard and is still the fastest way to take screenshots. Once we have clicked on the button, we just have to open, for example the Paint application, to paste it and cut it or modify it according to our needs.
But as the versions of Windows have progressed, Microsoft has added a small application called Clippings, an application that allows us to capture the screen of our computer and later save it in an image file, without having to go through a photo editor like Paint. The Snipping application allows us to take a screenshot of the entire screen, a delimited part of the screen or the application window that is open at that moment.
Another option that Windows makes available to us when taking screenshots is found in the Win + p key combination, a process that will capture all the content that is displayed on the screen of our PC, storing it within the Images> Screenshots folders.
Although it is true that on the Internet, we can find different alternatives, with Windows 10 and the great update that the Snipping application has received, it is not necessary at any time to use third-party applications. I have always been in favor of making use of native Windows applications, whenever possible, thanks to the integration in the system that it offers us in addition to avoiding filling our system with third-party applications, which in the end all they do is affect the functioning of our team for the worse.
