QR code and emoji in the screenshot
According to the publication in blog In Windows, Snipping Tool gained the ability to detect QR codes in screenshots so “you can easily follow the link on your PC.” All you have to do is use a few text actions in the app to start identifying the code.
Furthermore, the Redmond company has started testing the function of using 3D emojis from the Shapes tab of the app. Simply select the reaction you want and it will appear on the screen, then you can control its size and position in the image.
The new features should increase the usefulness of the tool and allow for a greater level of customization.

Paint also receives new features
