Many a time we need to capture a part of the screen to be sent across to some one or to paste in a document for reference later. Windows “Prnt Scrn” is good enough but it has the disadvantage that it can either copy the whole screen or whole of the active window. This is not very convenient since the actual information required to be captured might just be a fraction of the screen and moreover the size of the copied window would be too high especially if we plan to send it across in a mail.
A very handy tool to copy only the required portion of the screen is called ‘Snippy’ , apparently developed by an Indian. It is very light (hardly an MB) and there is no install required. Just run the executable file and start snipping !.
Can be downloaded from Snippy download.

Clippings on this page have been done using Snippy.
