How to Take a Screenshot on Windows 10

In this tutorial, find out how to take a screenshot on your PC and learn how to find the screenshot. Learn about the Snipping Tool and how to use the print screen keyboard shortcuts.

I walk through how to launch the snipping tool and how to use the tool. I also walk through a few different keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. Take full screen snips, window snips, rectangular snips, or free form snips. No download required! Take screenshots of your desktop, browser, games, or other apps.

📚 RESOURCES
- For the Snipping Tool, you can choose where to save the screenshot.
- Windows + Print screen saves screenshots to C:\Users\(YourName)\Pictures\Screenshots
- Print Screen saves screenshots to C:\OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots (as long as you have oneDrive sync enabled. Otherwise your screenshot is available via the clipboard and you need to paste into Paint and then save the file)

I have a gaming keyboard and I googled how to take a Screenshot. And it was using keys I didn't even have lol. So now I'm here and thank you so much I didn't even know snipping tool was on my computer. I kind of feel dumb for not knowing what's on my own computer. But thank you for this video it was really helpful.

Finally I now know how to take a snapshots in different ways !! initially I couldn't hung up on one!! I tried all the other ways you told and I must say they do work effectively. I tried all the other tutorials but haven't found any one which is as good as this one !! thanks a lot !

I fell asleep halfway through woke up for the end and then just figured out on my own. Here’s the word of the day, Succinct.

Why can't everything in life be as easy as this video tutorial. Perfectly explained. I got it first try.

Thank you! I always forget how to take a screen shot because I don't do it very often. Now I have the snipping tool pinned to my task bar, so hopefully next time I will remember how to do it. 🙂

I've been using the Keyboard Print Screen button since Windows 7, and taking the images into other apps for editing. It has worked well for me; however, you have shown me something that will shorten the amount of work I do after the screen shot has been taken. Thanks a Million!

Hi Kevin, you are a lifesaver! Every time I have a computer question, you are answered it in a simple and clear way. God bless you, Man!

The keyboard part was a lifesaver

I'm still thanking my secondary fourth grade teacher for the Snipping tool

I'd say you're both lifesavers

[dalepierce]

5 minutes just to learn a screenshot. WTF?

[tawanacopwifelawrence]

Bruh y’all rlly thanking this dude he literally made a 5 minute video on how to screen shot it’s just three buttons

[potato]

This helps a lot, i'm glad your not like other turtorials that just blast music in your ears and make the video like x2 speed. You actually spoke out what you needed to do.

[joyhiovichparks]

Pretty much the first time a tutorial actually worked on my PC. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
