Snippy allows you to capture a particular region of the screen to the clipboard. If you are cutting out a portion of an Internet Explorer window, the URL will also be copied to the clipboard. The region is an irregular shape by default, though you can capture a rectangular region by holding down the Shift key while dragging.
Using Snippy
Click on the Snippy icon – mouse cursor changes to a pen – mark an area of the screen – the marked area is now in your clipboard.
If you want to select a rectangular area, just hold down the Shift key while dragging. You can configure some things like the color of the border and so on by right-clicking on the Snippy icon in the taskbar. One of the things you can do here is to set a keyboard hotkey for activating the capture mode.
Snippy also supports multiple monitors. If you have a dual-mon set up, you can use Snippy to grab images off either or both monitors.
