There are lots of tools out there for taking screenshots in Windows. However, you may not need to install a third party app. Snipping Tool, included in Windows Vista and later, allows you to take screenshots, as well as edit and annotate them.
有很多工具可以在Windows中拍摄屏幕截图。 但是，您可能不需要安装第三方应用程序。 Windows Vista和更高版本中包含的截图工具使您可以截取屏幕截图以及对其进行编辑和注释。
We briefly covered the Snipping Tool in our articles about taking screenshots on almost any device and taking screenshots in Windows 10, but we’ll go into more detail here, showing you how to take, save, edit, annotate, and email screenshots, as well as how to customize the settings in the Snipping Tool.
我们在文章中简要介绍了截屏工具，内容涉及在几乎所有设备上截屏和在Windows 10中截屏，但是我们将在此处进行更详细的介绍，向您展示如何截屏，保存，编辑，注释和发送电子邮件。以及如何自定义截图工具中的设置。
To access the Snipping Tool, hit Start, type “snipping tool,” and then click the result. While it’s on the Start menu, you might also consider right-clicking it and choose “Pin to taskbar” or “Pin to Start menu” for easier access in the future.
要访问截图工具，请单击“开始”，键入“截图工具”，然后单击结果。 当它在“开始”菜单上时，您也可以考虑右键单击它，然后选择“固定到任务栏”或“固定到开始菜单”，以便以后使用。
开始之前：设置截图工具的选项 (Before You Start: Set Snipping Tool’s Options)
The Snipping Tool window has a few basic features, like taking a new screenshot, canceling a screenshot you’ve started, and taking a delayed screenshot (if you have Windows 10). We’ll go over all those, but first let’s take a look at the settings you can configure by clicking the “Options” button.
截图工具窗口具有一些基本功能，例如获取新的屏幕截图，取消已启动的屏幕截图以及延迟的屏幕截图(如果您使用Windows 10)。 我们将介绍所有这些内容，但首先让我们看一下通过单击“选项”按钮可以配置的设置。
The Options window lets you specify how the app behaves and looks.
使用“选项”窗口可以指定应用程序的行为和外观。
The “Application” section allows you to change the following settings:
“应用程序”部分允许您更改以下设置：
-
ion text. Hides the text you see below the buttons in the “Snipping Tool” window.
-
Always copy snips to the Clipboard. Copies all screenshots to the Windows clipboard, allowing you to paste them into other applications such as word processors and image editors.
始终将片段复制到剪贴板。 将所有屏幕截图复制到Windows剪贴板中，使您可以将其粘贴到其他应用程序中，例如文字处理器和图像编辑器。
-
Include URL below snips (HTML only). Saves your screenshots as Single File HTML or MHT documents. When you take a screenshot in an Internet Explorer window, the URL of the webpage is included in the screenshot.
在片段下方包含URL(仅HTML) 。 将屏幕快照保存为“单个文件HTML”或“ MHT”文档。 当您在Internet Explorer窗口中截取屏幕截图时，网页的URL将包含在屏幕截图中。
-
Prompt to save snips before exiting. When you close the Snipping Tool, the app lets you save any images you have not already saved.
退出前提示保存片段。 关闭截图工具时，该应用程序可让您保存尚未保存的任何图像。
-
Show screen overlay when Snipping Tool is active. By default, while you are taking a screenshot with the Snipping Tool, a white overlay displays on the area that will be captured. If you don’t want this overlay, turn this option off.
**“截图工具”时显示屏幕覆盖。 默认情况下，当您使用截图工具拍摄屏幕截图时，将在要捕获的区域上显示白色叠加层。 如果您不希望此覆盖，请关闭此选项。
The “Selection” section of the Options window lets you change the following settings regarding the color palette in the Snipping Tool:
通过“选项”窗口的“选择”部分，您可以更改有关截图工具中调色板的以下设置：
-
Ink color. Changes the color of the selection border that displays when you create a snip. Select a color from the drop-down list.
油墨颜色。 更改创建片段时显示的选择边框的颜色。 从下拉列表中选择一种颜色。
-
Show selection ink after snips are captured. When this option is selected, the selection border is shown around the snip after it’s taken, using the ink color you’ve selected.
在捕获剪裁后显示选择墨水。 选中此选项后，在选择后，选择边框将使用您选择的墨水颜色显示在片段周围。
When you’re done selecting your options, click “OK” to return to the main Snipping Tool window.
选择完选项后，单击“确定”以返回到“截图工具”主窗口。
进行基本截图 (Take a Basic Screenshot)
To take a screenshot with the Snipping Tool, click the down arrow to the right of the “New” button.
要使用截图工具拍摄屏幕截图，请点击“新建”按钮右侧的向下箭头。
You’ll see four choices here:
您会在这里看到四个选择：
-
Free-form Snip. This snip lets you draw any shape with your mouse pointer and then takes a screenshot of the selected area.
*形式的Snip 。 使用此片段可以用鼠标指针绘制任何形状，然后截取所选区域的屏幕截图。
-
Rectangular Snip. This snip lets you draw a rectangle with your pointer and then takes a screenshot of the rectangular selection.
矩形剪裁。 使用此片段可以用指针绘制一个矩形，然后截取该矩形选择的屏幕快照。
-
Window Snip. This snip lets you click any open window to take a screenshot of the visible part of the window. This means that if some of the content of the window is offscreen, the offscreen portion will not be captured.
窗口片段。 通过此片段，您可以单击任何打开的窗口以截取窗口可见部分的屏幕截图。 这意味着，如果窗口的某些内容不在屏幕上，则屏幕外部分将不会被捕获。
-
Full-screen Snip. This snip lets you take a screenshot of your entire display. If you have multiple monitors, the contents of all your monitors will be captured.
全屏截图。 通过此片段，您可以截取整个显示屏的屏幕截图。 如果您有多台监视器，则将捕获所有监视器的内容。
Note that when the menu is open, one of the selections will have a black dot next to it. This indicates the default type of screenshot the Snipping Tool will take if you just click the “New” button instead of opening its drop-down menu. The default selection will always be the last type of screenshot you performed.
请注意，当菜单打开时，其中一个选项旁边将有一个黑点。 这表示如果您仅单击“新建”按钮而不是打开其下拉菜单，则截图工具将采用默认的屏幕截图类型。 默认选择始终是您执行的屏幕快照的最后一种类型。
If you’ve selected a type of snip and then changed your mind, you can always click the “Cancel” button at any time before actually taking the screenshot to return to the Snipping Tool window.
如果您选择了一种截图类型，然后改变了主意，则始终可以随时单击“取消”按钮，然后再实际截取屏幕截图以返回到截图工具窗口。
延迟截图 (Take a Delayed Screenshot)
Until Windows 10, the Snipping Tool remained unchanged since it was introduced in Windows Vista. In Windows 10, the Snipping Tool has all the same features as before, but also adds the ability to take a delayed screenshot. If you click the down arrow next the “Delay” button, you’ll see that you can pick a number between 0 and 5. This number represents how many seconds the Snipping Tool will wait between the time you click “New” and the time the actual screenshot is taken. This gives you time to do things like open menus in a window, since when you click over to the Snipping Tool menus in other windows are likely to close.
自Windows Vista引入以来，在Windows 10之前，该狙击工具一直保持不变。 在Windows 10中，截图工具具有与以前相同的所有功能，但还增加了拍摄延迟屏幕截图的功能。 如果单击“延迟”按钮旁边的向下箭头，则会看到您可以选择一个介于0到5之间的数字。该数字表示在您单击“新建”到该时间之间，狙击工具将等待多少秒。实际的屏幕截图已拍摄。 这使您有时间执行诸如在窗口中打开菜单之类的操作，因为当您单击“截图工具”时，其他窗口中的菜单可能会关闭。
Note that just like with the “New” menu, the default choice has a black dot, indicating what time will be used if you just click the “Delay” button instead of using its drop-down menu.
请注意，与“新建”菜单一样，默认选项带有黑点，表示如果您仅单击“延迟”按钮而不是使用其下拉菜单，将使用什么时间。
捕获后使用屏幕截图 (Work with a Screenshot After Capturing It)
After you capture any kind of screenshot using the Snipping Tool, it opens in an editing window. The Snipping Tool editor allows you to edit and annotate the screenshot. You also have several new options on the toolbar. The “New” and “Delay” buttons return you to the regular Snipping Tool window so that you can take more screenshots.
使用Snipping Tool捕获任何类型的屏幕截图后，它将在编辑窗口中打开。 截图工具编辑器允许您编辑和注释屏幕截图。 您还可以在工具栏上找到几个新选项。 “新建”和“延迟”按钮可将您带回到常规的“截图工具”窗口，以便您可以截取更多屏幕截图。
Click the “Save” button to save the image to disk, the “Copy” button to copy the image to the Clipboard, or the “Email” button to open a new email message with the image already attached.
单击“保存”按钮将图像保存到磁盘，单击“复制”按钮将图像复制到剪贴板，或单击“电子邮件”按钮打开带有已附加图像的新电子邮件。
To the right of those buttons, you’ll see a few annotation tools. The Pen tool lets you draw on the image in different colors. Click the “Pen” button and then draw whatever you like on the image. To change the color of the Pen, click the down arrow on the “Pen” button and select a color.
在这些按钮的右侧，您将看到一些注释工具。 笔工具可让您以不同的颜色绘制图像。 单击“笔”按钮，然后在图像上绘制任何您喜欢的东西。 要更改笔的颜色，请单击“笔”按钮上的向下箭头，然后选择一种颜色。
On the drop-down menu, you can also choose “Customize” to access more colors, as well as change the thickness and tip style of your pen.
在下拉菜单上，您还可以选择“自定义”以访问更多颜色，以及更改笔的粗细和笔尖样式。
Click the “Highlighter” button to highlight any part of the image with a thick, transparent yellow line. Unfortunately, yellow is the only color the highlighter offers.
单击“突出显示”按钮，用粗的透明黄线突出显示图像的任何部分。 不幸的是，黄色是荧光笔提供的唯一颜色。
And finally, the Eraser tool turns your cursor into an eraser that lets you remove annotations you’ve made. It doesn’t work quite like the eraser you might find in other image editing apps. The Snipping Tool eraser will not erase any part of your original captured screenshot. You also can’t use it to erase portions of your annotations. Click the eraser on any single annotation—like a line you’ve drawn—to erase the whole annotation.
最后，橡皮擦工具将光标变成橡皮擦，使您可以删除所做的注释。 它的工作方式与其他图像编辑应用程序中的橡皮擦不同。 狙击工具的橡皮擦不会擦除原始捕获的屏幕截图的任何部分。 您也不能使用它来擦除注释的某些部分。 单击任何单个注释上的橡皮擦(如绘制的线条)以擦除整个注释。
While there are certainly more powerful screenshot and image editing apps available out there, the built in Snipping Tool is pretty handy. This is especially true if you only take the occasional screenshot or find yourself on a system without another image editing app. The Snipping Tool does have somewhat limited features, but it works pretty well for basic screenshots.
虽然肯定有更强大的屏幕截图和图像编辑应用程序可用，但是内置的截图工具非常方便。 如果您仅拍摄偶尔的屏幕截图或在没有其他图像编辑应用程序的系统上发现自己，则尤其如此。 截图工具的功能确实有所限制，但对于基本屏幕截图而言效果很好。
