Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s very common these days that you need to take the screen shot of the some transactions/confirmation messages/crop your picture.

 

When you use print screen button, it captures whole screen basically some other details also, which you don’t want to share sometimes like all things are opened in your system (shown in taskbar).

 

So it becomes a lengthy task press screenshot (print screen button), open paint, crop that portion and then save as image and finally attach.

The below simple steps will explain you how to use the small 300Kb software to do this task in seconds. I have been using these tools for last 3 years and make my life easy.
