How to Take Screenshot Images of Computer Screen


A screenshot, screen capture or screen dump, is a static picture of your computer screen’s display. The picture is a digital image taken by the operating system or by screenshot software and can be saved as a GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG or any other image format.

  • Make the window whos picture u want to capture to be an active window
  • Press the Print Screen key (typically located at the top right of your keyboard beside function keys) and the Alt key simultaneously (Alt+Print Screen). This captures your active window and saves the image to your clipboard.
  • Note: Some keyboards have an F-key lock which must be turned off.
  • Open a graphic program such as Paint (found via the Windows Start menu under All Programs > Accessories). now press ctrl+v (paste) which pastes ur picture
  • Save your file by clicking File > Save Specify your file name. Change the ‘Save as File Type’ dropdown from BMP to jpeg to reduce the file size.
Thats it have a try and capture ur favourite screen shots
