Free Ways to Take a Screenshot on Windows 8. |
Screen Shots in Windows 8 -Rapid Screen Shots.
Click Pin to Taskbar to pin a shortcut to the taskbar of the Windows 8 desktop. The changes are immediately in effect. Set up Snipping Tool as desktop shortcut Instead of a taskbar shortcut you can also create a desktop shortcut for the Snipping Tool. Click Open File Location in the lower section.
The desktop is immediately displayed with the folder Accessories opened. Click the Snipping Tool icon. Press and hold down the mouse button.
Press also the key [CTRL] on the keyboard, and while holding the keys down, drag the icon out of the window frame to an empty area of the desktop. Just drop the icon. The icon is immediately available for use. Need more help? Expand your skills. Get new features first. Was this information helpful? Yes No.
Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. And maybe good to know: Winkey-VolDown also places the screenshot in your clipboard, ready for pasting in documents. I am surprised that I had to scroll so far down the comments to see someone add the Share charm option. Daniel Rubino needs to add this one to the article.
We use Snagit for professional captures. Is great SW but not free. Snagit is great but a little overkill also. Great application! TechSmith makes good stuff. At home, I'm generally old school, with the Print Screen button. Since in most cases when I'm doing a screenshot I just want a certain window, I use Alt-Print Screen to get the active window and paste it into whatever Word, Photoshop, Paint, whatever.
There are times I want more control, and for those times, I have a couple of options in addition to what was in the article. First, there's OneNote Screen Clipping tool. Generally, it's crop the shot you want, copy to clipboard, and paste to whatever. I used this in my College Algebra class, in OneNote, with the pen, to share with others how I solved a certain problem. Doing math with a keyboard just isn't right, and seeing it done by hand, with narration, is definitely the way to go with higher level math.
ScreenPresso does video only, audio and video, or screenshots. Nice app. I think I have seen a video that you can double press the button on top the one that opens OneNote on the SF3 pen and it will take a screenshot. For those who have a Surface Pro 3, double-click the cap button on the pen, which will then allow you to define an area of the screen to clip and will then bring up options of what to do with clipping clipboard, OneNote, etc.
I always used to use the screenshot function under the Share menu in the Charms bar So that's how the snipping tool works! And i'm here using a Chrome extension just for screenshots! Thanks Seth. Thank you for this. I take many screenshots from my phone,but couldn't remember how do it on my Surface and didn't bother with doing a search to find out how. I didn't know about the other options either. Thanks again Happy we could help.
That's what we're here for. I have Snipping Tool on my Taskbar too. Use it a ton. Faststone capture is the best, especially if you are a creative. It also has screen colour picker and onscreen ruler.
Best app by a long shot! OneNote has the best screenclipping feature. If you open OneNote, you should have a little OneNote icon in the tasks bar by clock. Right-click it and in the menu that appears you will find a sub menu for setting how the OneNote screenclipping tool works.
For example, you can have it immediately send the clip to OneNote. I personally just have it take the clip and then I paste it into whatever program needs it. Once you set your preference, you simply use the keyboard shortcut whether OneNote is open or not moving forward.
So not only do you have the clip, it's cropped the way you want it. Love this feature. And it works with OneNote desktop app period, meaning it should work on other OSes. I was first using it on Windows 7. You can click a screenshot with your Lumia. Going to bookmark this one. Screenshot of an individual window. When has this existed since? You forgot the Surface Pro 3 pen option of double-clicking the top purple button. It opens the image in OneNote, but it is actually saved to the clipboard so you can paste into another application like Paint.
You forgot one!!! If you're in an app you'll need to change the top option to screenshot. What about double tapping the surface pro 3 pen button??? Or the one, superior way: GreenShot. So versatile. So good. So free. On Surface Pro, pro 3, the keyboard does not have the PrtScn button.
Good point! Method 2 sounds like a better option then the wp8. How about the Share function screenshot using Charms? Double click the pen. Double click the pen on the surface 3 on any screen and it opens One Note. It they give you the option to paste in the entire previous screen shot, or you can crop it on the fly.
Faster and easier than the snipping tool! I use "Send to One note" app toolbar It's much faster and easier I use PUSH all the time. These ways are indeed convenient but lacks features. I'm using a tool called Free Screenshot Capture. Other than taking screenshot, this tool also comes with a built-in editor and image uploader. I am trying to find a hot keys shortcut way of taking a clip from the screen, but I cannot find it.
