Screenshots: Frequently asked questions

What is a screenshot?

A screenshot is a digital image a user takes to record the visible elements on their computer screen. A screenshot is also known as a screen capture or screen grab.

A screenshot serves as a digital snapshot of the contents and layout of a desktop or application window. Users can save screenshots as a file, share them with others, or print them like any image file.

A screenshot tool allows users to take a ‘photo’ of their computer screen. With ScreenPal’s screenshot tool, you can easily capture an image of your entire computer screen, an active window, or click and drag to capture any part of your screen.
