Which Snipping Tool mode captures an irregularly shaped area drawn by the user?

A **free-form snip** lets the user draw an irregularly shaped screenshot area. A rectangular snip captures a rectangular region, a window snip captures a selected window, and a screen snip captures the entire screen. The mode should be chosen according to the shape and scope of the material to record. **Key takeaway:** Choose free-form when the desired capture boundary is irregular.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Snip**: A screenshot captured using the Snipping Tool.\n- **Free-form snip**: A capture made by drawing an irregular boundary around the desired area.
