How to screenshot on Google Chrome

1. Open Google Chrome and press Ctrl + Shift + I if you're on a PC, or Command + Option + I if you're on a Mac — that's the letter I, not the letter L. This will open a developer menu called the Element Inspector, which lets you see the HTML the current web page is made with.

2. Next, press Ctrl + Shift P if you're on a PC, or Command + Shift P on a Mac. This will let you search through your list of developer tools.

3. Type 'screenshot.' Don't press Enter. You should see a set of four screenshot options.

Here's what each of the four screenshot options do:

  • Capture area screenshot. This lets you select a specific part of the screen and save it as a screenshot. If you choose this option, after a moment, you'll be able to drag a box with the mouse anywhere within the Chrome window. Select the part of the page you want to capture and it'll be saved. Note that you can't use this tool to capture the Element Inspector itself — that never gets included in the screenshot.
  • Capture full size screenshot. This option saves a picture of the entire web page, from top to bottom. It's a convenient way to grab an image of a long page that extends well beyond the bottom of the screen.
  • Capture node screenshot. This is more of interest to developers – it lets you capture an image of just a specific HTML element selected in the Element Inspector.
  • Capture screenshot. This is most like a standard screenshot. It saves an image of what's currently visible on your screen.

4. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, scroll down to the one you want and press Enter. Your screenshot will be taken and automatically saved. You can find it in Chrome's download manager at the bottom of the window.

The main difference between using the Print Screen key and this Chrome tool is that the Chrome screenshot tool doesn't include the borders of the Chrome browser window itself — only the content of the web page.

Sometimes the simplest things are the ones that challenge us the most. Case in point: Taking a screenshot on your PC. There are many reasons to do this: confirming information to a friend, a colleague, or skeptical family member. Or, if you are Googling yourself, saving important details to pass along to your super-intelligent dog children.

But we've also probably all stumbled in the process or resorted to that most embarrassing option: Taking a grainy, off-center photo of the screen and sending it off. This is NOT the best way to do it. And it's not even any faster than the official ways outlined below.

The fastest methods:

A quick clip is only a single key away:

The PrtScn key (print screen) copies the entire screen to your clipboard. Paste command will place it in an email or document or even in a message application, but if you want to save it, you'll have to open an image editor to paste, name and save.

For example, you can grab the display from two monitors, and place it in an email (in this case, to myself.)

Some alternatives include pairing the Windows key + print screen key, which automatically saves the screen capture to your Photos or Pictures>Screenshots folder. Now you can go back to it later.

The con with both these methods is that you get EVERYTHING on the screen, so it may require cropping or editing if you want to highlight the relevant information. Another option is using the Alt key alongside the PrtScn, which captures just the active window on a screen with multiple windows in use.

For more flexibility, you can use the Snipping Tool or its recent update, Snip and Sketch.

How To Screenshot On Computer

The snipping tool can be pulled up in your Windows search bar.

Once the app is launched, you can initiate a snip by clicking on the 'new' button, illustrated with scissors.

You can then drag your mouse to highlight the part of the screen that you want to screen capture. The image then comes up with several options across the top of the window, including an option to save (the disk icon), copy (the document), or attach to an email.

The newer Snip and Sketch screenshot tool launches by pressing the Windows + Shift + S keys.
