Wondering how to take a screenshot on Windows 11? Taking screenshots has become easier with Windows 11. Whether it’s a full-screen grab, partial screenshot, or simply using keyboard shortcuts, it’s an easy process. Here we tell you three simple ways in which you can take screenshots in Windows 11:
Taking screenshots with snipping tool
Steps 1
Go to the Start menu, type the ”snipping tool” in the search bar, and open the app
Once you click New, you’ll be transported to the screenshot overlay. Users may capture screenshots in a variety of methods, including Rectangle Snip, Freeform Snip, Window Snip, Fullscreen Snip, and more, at the top of the Snipping tool overlay.
Taking screenshots with Xbox Game Bar
Windows 11 creates the Xbox Game Bar to assist gamers in capturing screenshots or videos of their game. To use this feature
Steps 2
Press the Win + G key combination.
In the top-left corner, navigate to the Capture area and select the Take screenshot option. With this, the screenshot will be saved to the Videos/Captures folder by default.
Taking screenshots with keyboard shortcuts
Press and hold the PrtSc key. With this, the complete Windows 11 screen will be captured. PrtSc grabs the image and saves it to the clipboard. To make this image a real screenshot, open an image editing application, paste the screenshot into it, and save it.
Apart from built-in tools on Windows 11, users can also use third-party apps to take screenshots with ease.
Last year, Microsoft announced iCloud Photos integration to Windows 11’s updated Photos app. The iCloud Photos integration, according to the company, will allow users to access photos that are stored in iCloud directly into Windows 11 default gallery app. Currently, the updated Photos app is rolling out in the Windows Insider Preview Dev channel. So, users who’ve enrolled in Microsoft’s testing program and have selected the Dev channel will be able to give the iCloud integration a try and check out the features.
