What is a .SNIP file?
A .SNIP file is a type of image file specifically created by the Snipping Tool on the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. This tool allows users to capture either a part or the entire screen of their computer, saving it as a .SNIP file. This file format is unique to the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and cannot be created by Snipping Tools on other versions of Windows.
To view or open a .SNIP file, you must use the Snipping Tool found in the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. This is the only program designed to handle .SNIP files, as it is specifically tailored to work with the unique features of the Tablet PC version of Windows XP. Other programs or later versions of Windows do not support opening this file type.
