Hello Windows Insiders, Microsoft is beginning to roll out an update to the Snipping Tool for Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11.
What's new in Snipping Tool 11.2503.27.0
Text Extractor
In this update, Microsoft is adding a text extractor in the Snipping Tool capture bar – designed to minimize the number of steps it takes to copy text to your clipboard without having to take a screenshot of your screen.
To use Text Extractor in Snipping Tool,
- Open the Snipping Tool via Win + Shift + S or launch the app and click the new “Text Extractor” button in the toolbar.

You can also explore the “More options” dropdown menu to “Remove line breaks” from copied text or simplify the experience entirely with the “Automatically copy text” selection, which will dismiss the Snipping Tool earlier and automatically copy all text in your selection region directly to your clipboard.
