***Text Tutorial***

1. Find something you would like to take a screenshot of. (ex. video, picture, etc.)
2. Try to make it as big as possible and have it fill up the screen as much as possible. Also if you are taking it of a YouTube video make sure you make it the highest quality available in order to get a better picture.
3. Now that you have found what you want to take a picture of, press the Print Screen button once. It might be spelled like this "Prnt Scrn".
4. Now open up Microsoft Paint and press and hold Control ("Ctrl") and while holding Control press the letter "V".
5. It should have pasted the Screenshot you have just taken. Now go to File and press Save As and save the picture to wherever you like and name it whatever you want.
6. Open the picture up into any picture editing software. For example, in the video I used "Windows Photo Gallery".
7. Once the picture is open in the picture editing software, crop the picture to get rid of anything you would not want in the picture so it'll look a little bit more cleaned up.
8. Now save that and you have a perfect screenshot!

  • I just want to know how did you film your computer screen on to youtube for us to see it the way you got it up here..?

  • @MYopinionTIME I used a program called Camtasia Studio. It's a recording software and it also allows you to edit the video. Just type it into a Google search and you will find it.

  • i don't have crop things.... and i don't have after you prt screen shot n crop program.... how can i get that?

  • @themin91 What operating system are you using? The Prnt Scrn button should be on every keyboard. There are many other programs that crop pictures, I just use the one above because its easy but if you google it you'll find many free programs that can crop pictures.

  • does this work for windows 7 ??

  • @tastyjoy4 I've never done it on windows 7 but it should work exactly the same
