Taking a screenshot

How to take a screenshot:

On a Windows PC

  • Whole screen: press PrtScn (Print Screen). The image is copied to the clipboard → paste it with Ctrl + V into Word, Paint or another program.
  • Active window only: Alt + PrtScn.
  • Part of the screen (Windows 10/11): Windows key + Shift + S. You can then select a rectangle with the mouse. The screenshot is on the clipboard.
  • Save automatically: Windows key + PrtScn. The whole screen is saved straight away as a file in Pictures → Screenshots.

On a Mac

  • Whole screen: Shift + Command (⌘) + 3.
  • Part of the screen: Shift + Command (⌘) + 4 → drag with the mouse.
  • A specific window: Shift + Command (⌘) + 4 → press the space bar → click the window.
  • Where it is saved: on the desktop by default (you can change this in the settings).
