Screenshot
A feature that captures the current screen display as an image file, commonly used for documentation, sharing, and troubleshooting.
A screenshot is a captured image of whatever is currently displayed on a device's screen. It is used daily for explaining procedures, sharing error messages, archiving web pages, and saving social media content.
Key shortcuts by platform: Windows uses PrintScreen or Win + Shift + S, macOS uses Cmd + Shift + 3 (full screen) or Cmd + Shift + 4 (selection), iPhone uses Power + Volume Up, and Android uses Power + Volume Down.
Screenshots are typically saved in PNG format. If file size is a concern, the image compression tool can reduce it efficiently. When personal information is visible, applying the mosaic tool before sharing is essential for privacy. For detailed editing techniques, see Screenshot Editing Tips.
