Capturing screenshots can be a pain. This is especially the case when you require the screenshot to be of a certain size/resolution. You try to resize the window in question as best as you can but it doesn’t always quite work out and you may have to rely on additional software to resize the screenshot after you take it.
Sizer is the perfect solution to this dilemma since it allows for the setting of windows to a predefined size for your convenience.
Tip: This is also a very useful tool for web designers when testing how responsive a website is.How it Works
Sizer is a well thought out utility that makes it easy for users to precisely resize program windows as they wish.
Your first step while using this app should be to configure the window sizes you wish to work with. The above screenshot is pretty self-explanatory but you should note the following points.
Firstly, you can set the position you would like the window to be moved to after resizing. You can also choose not to move the window after resizing.
Take note of the User Defined Position option. Users can enter their own coordinates for where they would like the window to be moved, where Top = 0 refers to the very top of the screen and Left = 0 is the leftmost part of the screen.
Lastly, Window resizing snap size defines the number of pixels by which the size of the window is increased/decreased when resizing it and simultaneously holding the Ctrl key.
There are three ways to activate Sizer. You can right-click on the title bar of the program window in question, or you can choose to click on the program icon — if there is one — in the top left of the program’s title bar.
Note: Sizer should work with all 32 bit Windows operating systems. The author’s FAQ should be consulted if difficulties are encountered.You can also resize a window by right clicking when the resize cursor becomes visible.
Note that you can also right click when you have moved your mouse to the appropriate position for the resizing cursor to appear in order to bring up the context menu which will allow you to precisely resize the window in question.
Finally, you can resize windows directly from the system tray by right-clicking on the Sizer icon and selecting the appropriate option. In order for this to work, however, you will need to set Sizer to always show in the system tray.
Even if you choose note to use one of your preset options, there is an interactive tooltip that pops up if you choose to resize manually which will let you know exactly the size that you changed the size of the window to. This pops up as long as Sizer is open.

Looking for the best third-party apps to enhance your
Sometimes the easiest way to make a copy of something is to take a snapshot of your screen. While you can already capture your screen using your keyboard’s PrtScn button, you can now press Windows logo key + Shift + S to open the new modern snipping experience (also called the snipping bar), then drag the cursor over the area you want to capture.
Here are some common ways to take and annotate screenshots in Snip & Sketch on Windows 10.
Take a screenshot
Option 1: Using the Snip & Sketch app
Press the Start button and enter Snip & Sketch in the search field.
Press the New button to start snipping with the snipping bar.
The snipping bar allows you to capture the following types of snips:
Rectangular snip. Drag the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
Free-form snip. Draw a free-form shape around an object.
Full-screen snip. Capture the entire screen.
Once you snip an area of your screen — the snipped image is added to your clipboard and you can paste it immediately in another app. A screen prompt will also allow you to annotate, save or share it using the Snip & Sketch app.
Option 2: With the Print Screen key
While the PrtScn key already captures your full screen and sends it to your clipboard, opening the snipping bar provides you with more snipping tools you can use for precise snipping. For better control of your screen capturing options, you can opt to have your PrtScn key open the new snipping bar instead of having to type Windows logo key + Shift + S.
To turn on the new snipping feature keyboard shortcut Select Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard
Option 3: With the Window logo key + Shift + S shortcut

Panning the view
Some of the images you annotate might be larger than the size of the Snip & Sketch window. You can use the scroll bars to pan the view, but you can also pan the view with touch input (if the Touch Writing button is not selected) or by dragging with your mouse button while holding the Ctrl key down.
