What is Snipping Tool?
You can use Snipping Tool to capture a screen shot, or snip, of any object on your screen, and then annotate, save, or share the image.
Simply use a mouse or tablet pen to capture any of the following types of snips:
Free-form Snip. Draw an irregular line, such as a circle or a triangle, around an object.
Rectangular Snip. Draw a precise line by dragging the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
Window Snip. Select a window, such as a browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
Full-screen Snip. Capture the entire screen when you select this type of snip.
Record video. Capture a portion or full screen video.
After you capture a snip, it's automatically copied to the mark-up window, where you can annotate, save, or share the snip.

Preinstalled on windows and easy to use
Snipping tool are alternative to take a screenshot with easy and later can edit or modify it. The best snipping tool available are:
What about Greenshot?
So easy to use. Very clean interface and does it's job without fail. Can quickly take a screenshot whenever I want.
It lacks JPG quality settings and uses something around 80... I would use 97 if I can, so I end up using PNG... or converting later.
Other that that, the best simple tool for the job.
