If you don't know how to copy all the text as a table from a screenshot in the Snipping Tool, here is a step-by-step guide that will teach you.


This guide will show you how to copy all the text in a screenshot as a table using Windows 11 on your PC. This document will show how to make use of the Copy as table feature. New is the capability of taking a captured Snippet and transforming that into structured table data. This data will have rows and columns with text in each row and column.


Copy and then paste the table into an Excel spreadsheet, an email, a Google Sheets spreadsheet, etc., once the table is ready. This will be useful if you wanted to source data from an image or a webpage and save it in table format. This is useful because text, copied from a webpage or from any other source, usually lands unstructured, so we can use this feature to grab that data exactly how we want it.


This will be available starting with the next stable release; you will be able to make use of the copy as table capability. Before going for this capability, ensure that the screenshot does not contain extra text or undesired areas, else the use of this feature will fail. Additionally, you will not be able to get the result when you make use of the Full screen, Window, or Freeform snipping modes.

How to Create a Table from a Screenshot Using Snipping Tool




The following steps are how Windows 11 users extract all the text from a screenshot into a table. Open the data or image app/website. Open the Snipping Tool software. Though the Win+Shift+S keyboard shortcut takes a screenshot, it may not pop up the Snipping Tool window for further processing. Therefore, first and foremost, Snipping Tool software needs to be opened.


In the main menu, click "Snipping Mode" then "Rectangle."


To capture one, hit Ctrl+N or the New button. There and then, the Snipping Tool window will appear.


In the top-middle section and to the right of the Image crop option, the Take actions symbol can be seen. Click on it. The processing of the snip will start getting executed. You can also clip the clip in case some undesired areas get recorded.


A "Copy as table" option should be available now. Tap on it


The output will be copied to the clipboard via Snipping Tool.


Copy the output and paste it into new Excel, Google Sheets, or other spreadsheet.


If the table data is too tiny to read enable Word Wrap and adjust the column width accordingly.

Other than this bug, the feature is working. For inputs having more than one line in a cell or row, each line will be pasted in a new row. We expect this to get resolved once this feature matures further.
