How to Take a Screenshot or Snippet and Send It via Email or Slack

What is a Screenshot or Snippet? A screenshot captures the entire visible screen, while a snippet lets you select a specific area of your screen to capture. This is useful for sharing visual information quickly.

Step 1: Open Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch


Find the application in the Start menu. Click on the Start menu icon at the bottom left of your screen. Scroll through the alphabetical list of apps to find "Snipping Tool" or "Snip & Sketch". If you see it, click on it to open. If you don't find the application in the list,	Search for the application. Click on the Start menu icon again and type "Snipping Tool" or "Snip & Sketch" into the search bar at the bottom. When the application appears in the search results, click on it to open.

Step 2: Choose the Type of Snip

Select snip type.
In Snipping Tool, click 'New' and choose from free-form, rectangular, window, or full-screen. In Snip & Sketch, click 'New,' then select the area you wish to capture once the screen dims.

Step 3: Capture the Screenshot or Snippet

Take the snip.
Use your mouse to select the area of the screen you want to capture.

Step 4: Save the Screenshot or Snippet

Save the file.
Click the Save icon, choose a location and filename, and save the file in a format like JPEG or PNG.

Step 5: Send via Email or Slack

Choose your sending method.
To send the screenshot or snippet via email, follow steps 6 to 7. To send through Slack, skip to step 8.

Step 6: Open Your Email Application

Launch email client.
Open your preferred email application and start a new email.

Step 7: Attach the Screenshot or Snippet

Attach the file.
Click the attachment icon, navigate to where you saved your screenshot or snippet, and click 'Open' to attach it.

Step 8: Send the Email

Complete and send the email.
Fill in the recipient’s email address, add a subject, type your message, and click 'Send'.

Step 9: Open Slack

Launch Slack.
Open Slack and navigate to the channel or direct message where you want to send the file.

Step 10: Attach the File in Slack

Attach the file to your message.
Click on the attachment icon (+), choose “Upload a File,” select your file, and click 'Open'.

Step 11: Send the File in Slack

Send the message.
Type any accompanying message, then press 'Enter' or click 'Send' to share the screenshot or snippet.
