Taking a screenshot on your ASUS laptop allows you to capture exactly what is on your screen. Screenshots are useful for saving information, sharing error messages or creating guides. Whether you want to capture the entire screen, a single window or a specific area there are several methods you can use.
This guide explains how to take screenshots on your ASUS laptop using keyboard shortcuts, built-in Windows tools and third-party software.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
One of the quickest ways to take a screenshot on your ASUS laptop is to use keyboard shortcuts. To capture the entire screen press the PrtScn (Print Screen) key. This copies the screenshot to your clipboard which you can then paste into apps like Paint or Word using Ctrl + V.
To capture only the active window press Alt + PrtScn. This copies the current window to the clipboard for pasting.
If you want to save the screenshot directly as a file press Windows key + PrtScn. Your screen may briefly dim to show the capture and the image is saved in the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
Using Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch
Windows includes tools like Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch for more control over screenshots. Search for Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch in the Start menu.
Click New to select the capture mode such as rectangular, free-form, window or full-screen. After capturing you can annotate, save or share the screenshot.
Using Game Bar
For capturing screenshots during gameplay or other full-screen apps press Windows key + G to open the Game Bar.
Click the Capture button or press Windows key + Alt + PrtScn to take a screenshot. These images are saved automatically in the Videos > Captures folder.
Using Third-Party Screenshot Software
If you want advanced screenshot features like delayed capture, editing or quick sharing consider third-party apps such as Lightshot, Greenshot or ShareX. These are free to download and provide additional functionality beyond Windows tools.
Tips for Clear Screenshots
Before capturing, ensure the content you want is fully visible and remove any distractions or unnecessary windows. Use editing tools to highlight important parts or crop images before saving.
Conclusion
Screenshotting on your ASUS laptop is easy using keyboard shortcuts, Snipping Tool, Game Bar or third-party apps. Whether you need the entire screen or just a portion these methods offer flexibility. Practising these options will help you quickly capture and share your screen content effectively.
