How do I screenshot on Windows with a keyboard? BankTrustAccount
Taking a screenshot on a Windows computer using a keyboard is straightforward. Here are the most common methods:
### 1. **Full-Screen Screenshot**
- **Press `PrtScn`** (Print Screen): This captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard. You can then paste it into an image editor, document, or email by pressing `Ctrl + V`.
### 2. **Active Window Screenshot**
- **Press `Alt + PrtScn`**: This captures only the currently active window and copies it to the clipboard. Again, you can paste it into an image editor or document with `Ctrl + V`.
### 3. **Screenshot with Snipping Tool / Snip & Sketch**
- **Press `Windows Key + Shift + S`**: This opens the Snip & Sketch tool (or Snipping Tool on older versions of Windows). You can then select the type of screenshot you want:
- Rectangular Snip
- Freeform Snip
- Window Snip
- Fullscreen Snip
After taking the screenshot, it's copied to the clipboard and a notification will appear. You can click the notification to annotate and save the screenshot.
### 4. **Full-Screen Screenshot and Auto-Save**
- **Press `Windows Key + PrtScn`**: This captures the entire screen and automatically saves the screenshot to your "Screenshots" folder, located within the "Pictures" folder. The screen will briefly dim to indicate that the screenshot has been taken.
### 5. **Partial Screen Screenshot**
- **Press `Windows Key + Shift + S`**: After pressing this combination, you can drag to select a specific area of the screen to capture. This will copy the selected area to the clipboard, and you can paste it as needed.
Each of these methods has its own use case depending on what part of your screen you want to capture and how you want to use the screenshot.
