Many times, when we see something on our computer displays, we want to take a snapshot of it right away. We are completely enveloped by the digital world in this day and age. We have the capacity to capture, save, and share moments with others by taking screenshots.
Here, we’ll go through how you can snap screenshots with ease on MAC or Windows devices.
How to Take a Screenshot on Windows
It’s really easy to take a screenshot of your computer’s whole screen in Windows. Simply hit the “PrtSc” or “Print Screen” key on your keyboard to start printing your screen. This button’s location may vary depending on the model of your computer or keyboard, but it is typically on the right side. It may be found near the top of the keyboard in certain circumstances or at the bottom in others. The print screen button’s placement varies from device to device.
You must first open an image editing program, such as Word or Paint, and then paste the screenshot there by pressing Ctrl + V or right-clicking and choosing paste. Pressing Alt + PrtScn will allow you to only take a picture of the currently active window, which you can then paste into your software.
Taking Screenshot on Mac
On a Mac, taking a screenshot is simple, and depending on your needs, you have a few different alternatives. You can simultaneously hit the command, shift, and 5 keys to capture your full screen. This will open a little panel with three distinct screen capture options for you to choose from: you may either capture your entire screen, a window, or a portion of it.

On a Mac, you can simultaneously press the shift, command, and four keys to capture a specific portion of your screen. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair once you do this, allowing you to choose the precise portion of your screen you wish to include in your screenshot.
Now release the trackpad or mouse button to capture screenshot.
How do I take a screenshot on Windows with a Mac keyboard?
You can still utilize keyboard shortcuts to snap screenshots if you’re using a Mac keyboard with a Windows machine or a Mac with a Windows operating system. Simply press and hold the Fn, Shift, and F11 buttons at the same time to capture the entire screen.
Press the Option, fn, Shift, and F11 buttons at the same time to snap a screenshot of the currently open window.
How do I take a screenshot on Mac with a Windows keyboard?
It is possible to take screenshots on a Macbook Pro or any other computer running a Mac OS using keyboard shortcuts from a Windows machine.
Pressing Windows, Shift, and 3 at the same time on a Mac OS keyboard will record the full screen. The screenshot will be saved as a .PNG file to the desktop.
The saved screenshot file can also be right-clicked and renamed to your liking.
Where are Screenshots saved on PC?
On most computers, a screenshot is immediately saved in the “This PC > Pictures > Screenshots” folder after being taken.
You can alter this location at any time by making a brand-new “Screenshots” folder inside of the “Documents” folder. Open the “File Explorer” window, then click “New folder” at the window’s top to create this new folder. Name the new folder “Screenshots” in the file system. You can now store screenshots in the brand-new “Screenshots” folder that you made.
Keyboard Shortcut for Screenshot in Windows 10
The fact that Windows 10 can be operated on a wide range of devices, including PCs, laptops, and tablets, means that there are several shortcut key alternatives for taking screenshots. However, taking screenshots on Windows 10 should be possible with the following function keys. A screenshot is taken by simultaneously pressing the PrtScn button and the Windows Logo Key.
If the keyboard being used lacks the PrtScn button seen in the aforementioned image, a screenshot can be taken by simultaneously pressing the Fn key, the Windows key, and the space bar.
