COBRA Snipping Tool offers a basic yet effective tool for taking screenshots. While it is miles ahead of the default screenshot tool in Windows, it's perhaps missing some things you'd want. For one, you can't decorate or annotate your screenshot once you've taken it like you would be able to with the default Windows Snipping Tool. There isn't much in the way of customization or adaptability, either.

This download lets you take a screenshot of your entire screen or a specific selection. You can turn the selection tool to any color, so it's always easy to see which area you're about to shoot. Once you've made your screenshot, you can save it as a JPEG, GIF, or PNG file, but you can't do much else to it. You aren't able to trim extras without taking a new picture. You can't draw circles or labels on any part of the screenshot, either. When it comes to advanced options, COBRA Snipping Tool offers next to nothing. You aren't able to resize or reformat you screenshot. You can tell the program where it should save the image, though.

If all you need is a basic screenshot tool, you won't find one better than this. COBRA Snipping Tool creates screenshots quickly and effectively. The problem is that that's all it does. You'll still need to slide your finished project into a photo editor if you want to do more with it. With a few extra features, COBRA Snipping Tool could have been the total package.

Not up to the mark
xamtraMarch 16, 2015
Pros
Just its look like basic one. At least in this build they have removed malwares, adwares as per others complaint
Cons
Not able to mark the particular width. The selective circle goes somewhere from our actual selection area.
Summary
No where near to windows 7 snipping tool. If anyone looking for windows 7 like snipping tool download Capture screenshot lite.
Came bundled with malware.
JincykNovember 11, 2013
Pros
None that I can see. I couldn't get the snipping tool to work. In any event, even if it were a good program, the malicious malware makes it a download to avoid.
Cons
The malware is a search engine called Connect (or Conduit). When I downloaded the program, I specifically denied access to it, but it attached anyway--to all my browsers. I uninstalled the malware, but that made no difference. I had to scan and scrub and go into each browser individually to root it out, and even now I'm not sure I was totally successful.
Summary
I downloaded from the CNET site because I've grown to trust it. Not any more. Either whoever approved this didn't do his job, or it has since been altered, in which case CNET should have a procedure in place to catch alterations like this.

Pros
No comment.
Cons
Installed several unwanted programs.
Summary
I did the standard install, then had to remove several unwanted programs, including two toolbars, an updater, and some game thing. Uninstalled Cobra, then reinstalled as a custom installation. Still got freeloaders. Removed everything. I depend on CNET to screen downloads for this kind of thing.
