Snippy

Capture the exact area you need to, by simply drawing.

There are many applications that can be used to take screenshots, and most of them have lots of configuration options, but none of them are as easy and entertaining as Snippy.

  Snippy is a very lightweight program to take screenshort and send them to the clipboard. But, it really stands out due to one specific characteristic, and that is that the captured zone will be the zone we specify by drawing on the screen with a virtual marker.

  It is very easy to use, all you have to do is press F11 (or the key you have previously configured) and specify the area of the screen you want captured. This selection will be stored in the clipboard, so you can later edit it with a text application or a drawing application. You also have the possibility to directly save it as a file with one of the following image formats: BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF or PNG.

  From the applications Settings, that appears by right clicking the scissors icon that appears in the notification are, you can configure other options like the thickness or color of the marker.
