Here’s How To Take A Screenshot On Your Chromebook

After you take a screenshot on your Chromebook, it appears toward the bottom right corner of the screen for a couple of seconds. If you want to edit it, tap on the Edit button at the bottom of the thumbnail. By default, the screenshots that you take on your Chromebook are saved in the Downloads folder. You can access the Downloads folder by tapping on the search key (if your Chromebook has one) and typing Downloads or opening the launcher by clicking on the circular icon at the bottom left corner (via Google). Alternatively, you can open the app tray on your Chromebook and select Files, then from the menu on the left, select Downloads. Here, you can view screenshots alongside other items you’ve downloaded from the internet.

If you wish to change where your Chromebook saves screenshots, summon the Screen Capture tool by pressing Shift + Ctrl + show windows key, and then tap on the settings icon. Under “Save to,” you’ll see a couple of options, including Downloads and Screenshots. You might choose from these options or select a particular folder where you wish to save your screenshots. Another important thing to know is that as soon as you take a screenshot, it is automatically saved to your clipboard. Hence, you can paste the screenshot using the Ctrl + V shortcut in several apps such as Gmail, Google Doc, and some photo editing apps.
