Need to grab a quick visual of something on your Chromebook screen? Don't worry, taking a screenshot is surprisingly easy! Chromebooks offer a few convenient methods to capture your screen, whether it's the whole thing or just a specific area.
**The Standard Screenshot:** Press the **Ctrl + Show Windows key** (the one that looks like a rectangle with two lines). This captures your entire screen and saves it to your Downloads folder. A notification will pop up to let you know it's saved.
**Partial Screenshot:** Want to grab just a portion of the screen? Use the **Ctrl + Shift + Show Windows key** combination. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture, then release the mouse button. The screenshot will be saved to your Downloads folder.
**Screenshot with the Stylus (if applicable):** If you have a Chromebook with stylus support, you can also use the stylus to take screenshots. Open the stylus tools and select the screenshot option. You'll then be able to capture the entire screen or draw a selection area.
Screenshots are a handy way to save information, share visuals, or document your work. Now you know how to master the screenshot on your Chromebook!
