PRINT SCREEN

1. Use the Snipping Tool

The Snipping Tool is a Windows app that lets you create and edit screenshots. 

Where to find the Snipping Tool in Windows 10

There are many different ways to open the Snipping Tool in Windows 10. Maybe the fastest
way to launch it is to use search. In Cortana’s search field from your taskbar, start
typing Snipping Tool and then click or tap on the appropriate search result.

If you prefer the old ways of doing business, open the Start Menu and the navigate to All
apps -> Windows Accessories. Inside this folder, you’ll find a shortcut to Snipping Tool.

Regardless of the way you choose to open Snipping Tool in Windows 10, this is what it looks
like:
Here’s what each of the main buttons does:

 The New button allows you to take a screenshot. If you’re using Windows 7 or


Windows 8.1, before you actually take the screenshot, New also lets you select the
type of screenshot that you want to take.
 The Cancel button allows you to cancel the current action.
 The Options button allows you to customize different aspects of the application.

Here are your options:

 The Free-form Snip enables you to draw an irregular line around an object or area.


 The Rectangular Snip allows you to take a screenshot shaped as a rectangle, by
dragging the cursor around an object.
 Window Snip allows you to select a window (e.g. your internet browser) or dialogue
box (e.g. error message received from an application) and capture it.
 Full-screen Snip enables you to capture the entire screen, like the old-fashioned Print
Screen key.

To save the screenshot, press the Save Snip button, select the location where you want it
stored, type the file's name and choose the file type: PNG, GIF, JPEG or HTML. The,
press Save.
2. Use the keyboard shortcut: PrtScn (Print Screen) or CTRL+ PrtScn

The first method is also the best known


and it works in all versions of Windows: on
your keyboard, press the PrtScn (Print
Screen) key or CTRL+PrtScn keys. Windows
creates a screenshot of the whole screen
and saves it to the clipboard. It is not
stored as a file on your hard drive. Then,
open an image editing program
like Paint and paste the picture from the
clipboard. Then, you can save it as a file
and even do some basic editing.

3. Use the keyboard shortcut: Windows +


PrtScn

If you want to take a screenshot of the whole


screen and save it as a file on the hard drive,
without using any other tools, then
press Windows + PrtScn on your keyboard.
Windows stores the screenshot in
the Pictures library, in the Screenshots folder.
The file is
named “Screeenshot(number).png,” where
the number will vary based on how many
screenshots you have taken.

In Windows 10, you can also find your


screenshots if you use the Photos app, by
going to “Folders -> Pictures -> Screenshots.”

4. Use Capture Screen in LINE


Select the capture icon on the chat window to
take a screenshot.
Select the area and the screenshot will be sent to the text entry field automatically. Simply
press Enter to send it!
