Smart Window, also called Snap, is a feature of Microsoft Windows that lets you automatically position two windows side-by-side, without having to manually resize them. Smart Window is also useful if you don't want to use Alt+Tab to switch between 2 windows.

Smart Window was introduced in Windows 7, and is also available in Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, such as Windows XP or Windows Vista, see: Split and arrange open windows.
