Clicking on the ‘Options’ opens up the image on the right where you have some choices.īoth tools have an option for a full-screen capture, or to capture a rectangular/square section of a page. When you open Snipping Tool, you get the small rectangle box with only 3 menu items at the top. Right away, you’ll notice the tool bar on the left and the menu options at the top with Skitch.

The screenshot above is from Skitch and the ones below are from Snipping Tool. In this article, we’ll take a look at Snipping Tool and Skitch and when you would use one over the other. There are times when you need more and Skitch (from Evernote) fits the bill. It’s a great utility belt tool for getting quick screenshots to demo or illustrate a point. I wrote about Snipping Tool back in 2011. A tool I use everyday is the Windows Snipping Tool.
