How to take screenshot in laptop


 


Taking a screenshot on a laptop can be done using a few different methods, depending on the operating system you are using. Here are the common methods for capturing screenshots on different operating systems:

  1. Windows:

    • Full Screen: Press the "Print Screen" (PrtScn) key on your keyboard. The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard. You can then paste it into an image editing software or a document.
    • Active Window: Press "Alt" + "Print Screen" (Alt + PrtScn) to capture only the active window. Again, the screenshot will be copied to the clipboard.
    • Custom Area: Press the "Windows" key + "Shift" + "S" to open the Snip & Sketch tool, allowing you to select a specific area to capture. The screenshot will be saved to the clipboard and can be pasted elsewhere.
  2. macOS:

    • Full Screen: Press "Command" + "Shift" + "3" to capture the entire screen. The screenshot will be saved as a file on your desktop.
    • Custom Area: Press "Command" + "Shift" + "4" to change the cursor to a crosshair. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture. The screenshot will also be saved as a file on your desktop.
  3. Linux:

    • Full Screen: Press "Print Screen" (PrtScn) to capture the entire screen. The screenshot will be saved to your Pictures folder or the designated screenshot folder.
    • Custom Area: Press "Shift" + "Print Screen" (Shift + PrtScn) to capture a specific area. You'll then be prompted to select the area by clicking and dragging the cursor. The screenshot will be saved to the designated folder.

It's worth noting that some laptops might have dedicated software or additional features for capturing screenshots. You can check your laptop's documentation or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions related to your model.
