# MICROSOFT INTRODUCES QR CODE SUPPORT IN WINDOWS 11 SNIPPING TOOL
Microsoft has recently unveiled a new update for Windows 11 Insider testers, adding an innovative feature to the built-in Snipping Tool. This update includes the ability to automatically detect QR codes within screenshots, allowing users to easily open links directly from their PC. Additionally, the Snipping Tool now offers support for emojis, enhancing the overall user experience.
# ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY WITH AUTOMATIC QR CODE DETECTION
With the latest update, the Snipping Tool will now feature automatic QR code detection when users enter the text actions section of the canvas. This new functionality will highlight the QR code and its corresponding clickable link, making it convenient for users to access information seamlessly. Moreover, emoji enthusiasts can now incorporate Microsoft’s 3D emojis into their screenshots, offering a creative touch to their digital content.
# EXPANDED TOOLS AND CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
In addition to QR code support and emojis, Microsoft has made further enhancements to the Snipping Tool. Users now have the option to adjust the opacity of shape fill and outline colors, providing greater customization possibilities. The reintroduction of the ruler tool, which can be easily toggled with the CTRL + R keyboard shortcut, further enhances the tool’s functionality.
# UPDATED AI-POWERED IMAGE CREATOR FEATURE
Alongside the Snipping Tool updates, Microsoft has also rebranded its AI-powered Pain Cocreator feature to Image Creator. Despite the name change, the functionality remains the same, allowing users to generate images from text prompts efficiently. This update showcases Microsoft’s commitment to continually improving its tools and features to meet the evolving needs of users.
