I write about tech every day, and taking screenshots in Windows is a big part of my work. And for the longest time, I relied on the Windows Snipping Tool for taking screenshots and doing basic annotation. It’s actually not that bad, and recent Windows updates have made Snipping Tool even better: it now includes Quick Markup, a color picker, and screen recording. However, it still falls short compared to my current favorite, Greenshot, a lightweight, free, and open-source screenshot tool.
