How to Take a Partial Screenshot on Windows (No Extra Apps)

If you want to capture just a specific part of your screen instead of the whole monitor, you do not need to download third-party software. Windows has a built-in feature called Snipping Tool that does this instantly.

Here is how to use it in seconds:

Step 1: Use the Keyboard Shortcut

1. Press the Windows Key + Shift + S on your keyboard at the same time.

2. Your screen will slightly darken, and a small menu will appear at the top of your monitor.

Step 2: Select the Area and Paste

1. Click and drag your mouse to highlight the exact area you want to capture.

2. Release the mouse button. The image is now automatically saved to your invisible clipboard.

Open any app (like an email, Word document, or chat) and press Ctrl + V to paste the image.

Pro tip: You can also open the Snipping Tool app directly from the Start menu if you want to set a delay timer before taking a screenshot.
