How to Capture Specific Areas of Your Screen with a Partial Screenshot on Dell Chromebooks
Taking a partial screenshot on a Dell Chromebook is an easy process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of capturing specific areas of your screen with a partial screenshot.
First, press the “Ctrl” and “Switch Window” keys at the same time to capture your entire screen. Your Chromebook will then take a full-screen screenshot and save it to your Downloads folder as an image file.

To do this, click on the “Select Area” icon located in the upper right corner of the image window. Then, use your mouse or trackpad to draw around or highlight the area you want to capture with your partial screenshot.
Once you have selected an area for your partial screenshot, click on “Save As” located in the upper left corner of the image window and choose where you would like to save it on your Chromebook. You can also rename it if desired before saving it as an image file (e.g., .png).
Your partial screenshot is now ready for use! You can share it online or use it for any other purpose that requires capturing specific areas of your screen quickly and easily using Dell Chromebooks’ built-in tools.
