Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Partial Screenshots on Chromebooks
Taking partial screenshots on Chromebooks can be a useful way to capture only the information you need from a webpage or document. This guide will walk you through the steps of taking partial screenshots on your Chromebook.
1. Open the page or document that you want to take a screenshot of.
2. Press and hold down the “Ctrl” and “Shift” keys, then press the “Window Switcher” key (the one with three lines in it). This will open up an overlay menu with several options for taking screenshots.
3. Select either “Capture Region” or “Capture Window” depending on what type of screenshot you want to take:
• Capture Region: allows you to select any area of your screen by dragging your mouse over it; this is useful for capturing specific parts of webpages or documents
• Capture Window: allows you to select an entire window, such as a browser window; this is useful for capturing entire webpages or documents
4. Once you have selected either option, drag your mouse over the area that you want to capture and release when finished; if using Capture Window, simply click anywhere inside the window that you want to capture and it will automatically be captured in its entirety
5. Your screenshot will now appear in a new tab in Chrome where it can be saved as an image file (PNG) by clicking on File > Save As… from within Chrome’s menu bar at the top-right corner of your screen
How to Easily Capture Specific Areas of Your Screen with a Partial Screenshot on Chromebooks
Taking a partial screenshot on a Chromebook is an easy and efficient way to capture specific areas of your screen. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to do so.
First, press the “Ctrl” and “Switch window” keys at the same time. This will cause your screen to dim slightly, indicating that you are now in screenshot mode.
Next, use your mouse or trackpad to select the area of the screen you would like to capture. You can click and drag across the desired area or click once in one corner and then again in another corner of the desired area. Once you have selected your desired area, release both keys simultaneously.
Your partial screenshot will be saved automatically as a PNG file in your Downloads folder with a filename beginning with “Screenshot” followed by a timestamp (e.g., Screenshot 2020-09-17 at 12:00:00). You can open this file from within Chrome OS or transfer it over to another device for further editing or sharing purposes if needed.
With these simple steps, you can easily take partial screenshots on Chromebooks whenever needed!
