I use Snipping Tool because it’s light and fast, everything that I’m not.

Install greenshot. It’s a FOSS tool that let’s you click and drag a box around the area. It also let’s you save multiple outputs, so you can auto upload a screenshot to dropbox/etc while also letting you paste locally. You can customize how file names are generated, on and on. Completly free.
Mine is setup to always save a copy of a screenshot to a folder that is date stamped, but also saves to my clipboard, so I can paste it anywhere.

ShareX can also do this. Snipping tool is fairly quick to use, though. Just WIN+SHIFT+S on Windows

Everyone always brings up Greenshot every time someone else mentions Snipping Tool. I know the language in which Greenshot was written and I know about the efficiency issues. I just like having a lightweight program that fires at the press of a hotkey, and dumps straight to the clipboard. Thanks for the suggestion, but I didn’t ask for a replacement for Snipping Tool.
