Screenshots are useful for communication, documentation, and more. But sometimes it’s easier said than done, right?
Windows 11 offers multiple ways to capture the perfect shot with its built-in tools. Here are your options:
Capture to clipboard:
To capture your entire desktop, press ‘PrtScrn’ or ‘Ctrl + PrtScrn.’ Then, paste the image into any application.
For capturing the active window, use ‘Alt + PrtScrn.’ Paste it just like before.
(If these shortcuts open the Snipping Tool, turn off ‘Use the Print screen key to open screen capture’ in Settings > Keyboard.)
To save the screenshot to a file, press ‘Windows key + PrtScrn.’ It’s stored in the ‘Screenshots’ folder in ‘Pictures.’
Use the Snipping Tool:
Search for the Snipping Tool in the Start menu and choose your capture mode: Rectangle, Window, Full screen, or Freeform.
Adjust the capture delay if needed.
Hit ‘New’ and create your screenshot.
Annotate and save in the editor for easy sharing.
Keyboard shortcut:
For a speedy screenshot experience, press ‘Windows key + Shift + S.’
Select your capture mode: Rectangle, Window, Full screen, or Freeform.
The screenshot opens in the Snipping Tool editor, equipped with various editing tools.
Microsoft Edge:
Open the web page, right-click, and choose ‘Web capture’ or use ‘Ctrl + Shift + S.’
Click ‘Capture’ or ‘Capture full page.’
Annotate your shot as needed and hit ‘Save.’
Now you can screenshot without having to Google how to do it… another little time saver for you.
