Is there a way to apply shapes and text in Windows Snipping Tool?

Windows Snipping tool drawing and delay features are great, but I often find myself trying to write on snips, and drawing arrows.

So from time to time i'm forced to copy paste to Microsoft power point, turning this into a two program step.

Is there a way to enable shapes, and text in snipping tool, or some sort of plug in?

 

Windows snipping tool highlight straight

Windows snipping tool doesn't have any way to let us draw straight lines by pressing Shift. Windows Ink Workspace is another tool that supports snipping and drawing the snipped portion. It has a virtual ruler that helps us to draw straight lines.

To enable Windows Ink Workspace

To launch the workspace, click or tap the pen-shaped Windows Ink Workspace icon that appears in your notification area.





Tap the "Screen sketch" block. It will be the third block in the list. It will automatically take a screenshot of your display and load it for your sketching.





Navigate to the pen bar at the top right of the screen.

Select the ruler icon. This looks like a diagonal ruler.

Place the mouse on top of the ruler and use mouse scroll wheel to rotate and position the ruler.

Hope this helps.

 

Snipping Tool - Ink option to draw no longer available

Hello,

I have noticed that when I open an image that is saved using the snipping tool the draw options are there. The issue since the tool opens and never shows me the image, I cannot save the image to be able to draw on it.
