Copy Selection as Bitmap Picture (As Shown on Screen)

This tool copies your current selection as a bitmap image, exactly as it appears on your screen, and places it on the clipboard.

Use this when you want to:

• Quickly paste the selection into another app as a static image
• Share a visual snapshot of your data (including colors, borders, and formatting)
• Create screen-accurate visuals for documents, emails, or presentations

The image is created in bitmap format.
It saves a few clicks compared to Excel's built-in method (Home > Copy > Copy as Picture > As shown on screen > Bitmap), and you can assign your own shortcut for even faster access.

Note:
The "Copy Selection as Picture (As Shown on Screen)" tool generally produces better image quality because it uses a vector-based format. However, not all programs support that format. Some email clients, chat apps, or older programs may only support bitmap images for pasting. Use this bitmap version for maximum compatibility.

Tips:

• To hide gridlines from your picture, go to View > Show, and uncheck Gridlines.
• If you use this frequently, add it to your 'My Tools & Shortcuts' menu and assign a shortcut for quick access.
