Check How to Take a Screenshot on Windows 10/11 PC
It often happens that you want to take a screenshot on a PC. If you don’t use a third-party tool, you can do it manually. The most obvious option is to press the Prt Sc or Print Scrn button to capture the entire PC screen. If you are using Windows operating system, press the Print Screen button (top right of the keyboard) to take a screenshot of the entire PC and copy the screen image to the clipboard or save it to the screenshots folder .
To capture the entire screen and automatically save the screenshot, tap the Windows key + Print Screen button. Your screen dims briefly to indicate that you just took a screenshot, and the screenshot is saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
How to take a screenshot on Windows 10/11 PC
cut out and draw
- The Snip & Sketch Tool is easier than the old Snipping Tool to access, share and annotate screenshots. You can now also take a screenshot of a window on the desktop, something that was surprisingly missing when the app was first introduced and kept us away from Team Snipping Tool until recently.
- The easiest way to invoke Snip & Sketch is to press Windows Key + Shift + S. You can also find Snip & Sketch Tool in the alphabetical list of apps that you can access from the Start button as well as in the notification bar , where it appears as Screen Snip. You can also just search for it if you can’t remember the key combination. (If you frequently take screenshots, we recommend pinning the app to the taskbar.)
- The keyboard shortcut or the notification key will hide the screen and open a small menu at the top of the screen where you can select the type of screenshot: rectangular, free, window or full screen. Once you take the screenshot, it will be saved to your clipboard and briefly displayed as a notification in the bottom right corner of the screen. Click the notification to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app to annotate, save or share it. (If you miss the notification, open the Notifications panel and you’ll see it there.)
- When you open Snip & Sketch from the Start menu or Search, the Snip & Sketch window will open instead of the small window at the top of the screen. From here, you’ll need to click the New button at the top left to start a screenshot and open the small panel. This procedure is an extra step, but it also allows you to delay the screenshot. Click the down arrow button next to the New button to delay the snapshot by 3 or 10 seconds.
Crop tool
- The Snipping tool has been around since Windows Vista. Windows has warned for several years that Snipping Tool would go away, but it’s still there in Windows 11. Snipping Tool has been removed from the Start menu’s list of apps, but it’s easily accessible from the search bar.
- Click the New button to start the screenshot process. The default cutout is rectangular, but you can also create freeform, full-screen, and window cutouts.
- The Snipping tool does not save your screenshots automatically (you have to manually save them in the tool before exiting) and copies your screenshots to the clipboard automatically.
Print Screen
- To capture the entire screen, tap the Print Screen key (sometimes called PrtScn). Your screenshot will not be saved as a file, but will be copied to the clipboard. You’ll need to open an image editing tool (such as Microsoft Paint), paste the screenshot into the editor, and save the file from there.
- You can also configure the PrtScn button to open the Snip & Sketch tool by going to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and turning on Use PrtScn button to open screen snippets under Print Screen Shortcut.
Windows Key + Print Screen
- To capture the entire screen and automatically save the screenshot, tap the Windows key + Print Screen key. Your screen will dim briefly to indicate that you just took a screenshot, and the screenshot will be saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
Alt + Print Screen
- To take a quick screenshot of the active window, use the keyboard shortcut Alt + PrtScn. This will snap to your currently active window and copy the screenshot to the clipboard. You will need to open the shot in an image editor to save it.
