Source transparency and signatures
Snipping Tool is a Microsoft Store app (product ID 9MZ95KL8MR0L). Store packages ship as signed MSIX / AppX family bundles. When you install from a file, Windows should show a Microsoft publisher signature. Softonic states its hosted file was scanned with VirusTotal technology and scored Clean.
This site does not host checksums yet. After you attach real download URLs, publish SHA-256 beside each button. Until then, confirm the digital signature publisher reads Microsoft Corporation before you proceed.
Checklist before you click Install
- File or Store entry name is Snipping Tool
- Publisher is Microsoft Corporation
- OS is Windows 11 22000.0 or higher (Windows 10 receives Snip & Sketch per Store note)
- You accept microphone and pictures-library permissions if you use recording and saving
Security software
Antivirus false-positive clarification
Screen-capture utilities request broad desktop access and microphone rights. Some third-party antivirus products flag new or repaired Store packages until their cloud definitions catch up. Softonic’s Clean scan reduces that risk for their hosted artifact, but a local heuristic alert can still appear.
- Confirm the publisher signature is Microsoft Corporation
- Prefer reinstalling from the official Store product rather than an unknown mirror
- Submit the file hash to your security vendor if your workplace blocks Store apps by policy
