How do I make a screenshot?
Sometimes it is useful to just make an image of something on your screen. It's called creating a print screen or a screenshot.
- Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard.
- Pressing this button creates a print screen of the entire screen, which is placed on the Windows Clipboard. Things that are placed on the Clipboard by Windows can be copied to another app, for example.
- We will do that. The standard app for editing images in Windows is traditionally the app Paint. Open this program.
- Once you have started the app Paint and then press the key combination Ctrl + V (Paste) then the newly created print screen will become visible and you can start editing on the print screen, for example save as a file on the computer.
- To do this, press the key combination Ctrl + S (Save). Then double click on the folder where you want to save the print screen (for example Images), give the print screen a suitable name and click on the Save button.
