screen capture software

Hello !

I have windows 7 installed on a computer, then I upgraded to windows 8.

there is a software I think it is like "paint" which capture a snapshot and automatically opens as soon as I press print screens.

I don't remember its name. Would you help me find its name?

thanks in advance.

Are you perhaps thinking of the snipping tool?

yes, that is it. I couldn't remember its name.

thank you for your help :)

You're welcome :)

Don't forget NourinE that as well as the snipping tool on Win 8 you can also hold down the Windows key (the one with the flag on it) and press the Print Screen button once.

Your screen will briefly dim and your screenshot will have been automagically saved for you as a.png in your Pictures folder.

great, it good to learn that. thank you hazelnut
