sing the default keyboard shortcuts

Quick tips:

• Your keyboard’s Print Screen key copies your current screen. You can then paste it into image editing software with Ctrl + V.
• Pressing Alt + Print Screen will capture only the currently selected window.

Taking a screenshot is simple, regardless of which version of Windows you’re running. There are only a few steps — assuming you haven’t fiddled with the default keyboard controls — and if you need some free image editing software to tweak them, these are our favorites.
Step 1: Capture the image — Assuming the area you want to capture is displayed on your screen, press the “Print Screen” (often shortened to “PrtScn”) key, typically located in the upper-right corner of your keyboard, to capture a screenshot of your entire display. Alternatively, press “Alt + Print Screen” to capture a screenshot of the active window. If you’re on a laptop, you may need to press “Fn” + “Print Screen” if your laptop has another feature assigned to that particular key.


There will be no noise or any other indication the screenshot was taken, but the resulting image will be saved as a PNG file to your clipboard. If using Windows 8 or 10, press the Windows Key + Print Screen to automatically save a full-screen screenshot within the “Screenshots” folder of your picture directory.
Alternatively, if you have Dropbox installed, the screenshot will be automatically deposited in your Dropbox directory, under Screenshots.
Step 2: Open Paint — In Windows 10, you can open the Start menu, go to “All Apps”, and scroll through the alphabetical list until you find Paint.


In Windows 8, press the Windows key to open the start screen. Afterward, click the down arrow in the bottom left, press “Ctrl” + “Tab,” or swipe downward from the center of the display to access the Apps View. From there, select Paint.
For Windows 7, click the Start menu, navigate to the “Accessories” folder — and click “Paint”. The icon depicts a painting palette with a brush on the right side, but it will vary slightly depending on your operating system.
All three iterations of Windows also include Windows Search, which can be used to find Paint by searching for — you guessed it — “Paint.”
Step 3: Paste the screenshot — Once open, click the “Paste” button in the upper-left corner of the program, choose “Edit” then “Paste”, or press “Ctrl + V” on the keyboard to paste your screenshot. Again, the exact navigation and wordage will vary slightly in different versions of Windows, but the keyboard shortcut will remain the same.
