How to Print Screenshot on Chromebook?

Screenshots are great for sharing websites, webpages, and other images quickly and easily. This article will help guide you through the process of a print screenshot on a Chromebook.

Step 1: Screenshots Using keyboard Shortcuts

Print a screenshot on your Chromebook by using button combinations. There are three keyboard shortcuts for screenshots you’ll want to remember:

  • Power + Volume Down to take a screenshot of the entire screen. While in tablet mode this is the only button-combo for screenshots you can use.
  • Ctrl + Overview (the 🔲|| symbol in the right image above) to take a screenshot of the entire screen.
  • Ctrl + Shift + 🔲|| to open the Screen Capture toolbar with single-window screenshot mode enabled.

Note: it’s worth mentioning that the keyboard commands are slightly different if you’re using an external keyboard that has F1-F12 keys rather than the specific Chrome OS function keys. In that scenario, you’ll use Ctrl + F5 and Ctrl + Shift + F5, respectively.

Step 2: Screenshot With a Chromebook Stylus

  • Locate the Stylus Button at the bottom of the screen and then tap it once.

The screenshot will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen and automatically copy to your Chromebook’s clipboard. You can immediately “Edit” or “Delete” the screenshot by selecting either button.

Chromebooks now have a built-in Screen Capture tool that makes taking screenshots and screen recordings even easier than before.

  • Firstly, start by opening the Quick Settings menu in the Shelf (or taskbar at the clock).
  • Expand the menu (if necessary) using the arrow in the top-right corner.
