Since Vista, Microsoft has included a free screen-capture utility with the Windows operating system: Snipping Tool, a replacement for the good, old PrtScr+Paint option. You can use Snipping Tool, too, despite Microsoft stating it would eventually be moved to the tech graveyard. Snipping Tool can't scroll windows, an extremely useful feature for capturing webpages and other deep screenshots. Snipping Tool only exports edited images in JPG, GIF, or PNG format, which is on the low side.
