Windows Snipping Shortcut

To initiate a screen capture on Windows 10 or 11, press the Windows logo key, the Shift key, and the S key simultaneously. This command activates the Snipping Tool overlay at the top of the display. Users can select from four capture modes: Rectangular Snip, Freeform Snip, Window Snip, or Fullscreen Snip. Once the selection is made, the captured image is automatically copied to the system clipboard. A notification prompt will appear, enabling the user to save the file locally, annotate the image, or share it through other applications. By default, saved images are stored in the Screenshots folder within the Pictures directory.
