  • Press Command+Shift+4 to select a specific area to screenshot.

Taking a Screenshot on Windows/PC:

Windows has several options for taking a screenshot.

  • Press PrtScn.
    This copies the entire screen to the clipboard. Paste the screenshot into any program that displays images, like Paint, where the screenshot can be edited, or Microsoft Word.

  • Press Alt+PrtScn.
    This copies the active window to the clipboard and can be pasted into another program.

  • Press the Windows key + PrtScn.
    This saves the entire screen as an image file. Find it in the "Pictures" folder, in a subfolder called "Screenshots."
