- Open snipping tool
- Capture screen area
- Open MSPaint/ Gimp
- Paste Screen Capture
- Edit Screen Capture. (This took sooo…long..omgoshsooollooonngg)(try blurring something and you’ll know what I mean)
- Save Screen Capture
- Upload screen capture
- Realize error in my edit…
- Repeat from STEP 1 (Sheesh)
But then I came across this little piece of well thought out screen capture + Editor + Cloud storage software named

Monosnap is so good, I hardly use the snipping tool or “PrintScreen” button anymore.
Monosnap also allows me to quickly do a ctrl+c on its editor and paste it to any online location.
This is so much better than saving the photo and uploading it to some location.
Monosnap also runs as a background service in your taskbar, tray where you can easily find it when you want to take a screenshot.
