Screen Capture

Screen capture tools record your screen. Take screenshots, record videos, and share instantly with easy-to-use software.

Screen capture

Screen capture tools help you show what you see on your device. You can take a quick picture of the whole screen or a small part, and even record a short video with sound. This is useful for homework help, bug reports, and teaching a friend how to use an app. With arrows, boxes, and text, you can point out the important parts so people understand faster.

How do I take a basic screenshot?

Open the app or page you want to show. Use the system keys or the capture button to take a shot of the screen. If only part is needed, choose the area tool and drag a box around it. Save the file with a clear name like math_steps or login_error. Check the picture before sharing to be sure nothing private is shown.

What can I record with screen video?

  • Short demos that show how to click.
  • Homework steps solving a problem.
  • Errors that are hard to explain.
  • Game moments you want to keep.

How do I blur private details?

Use the blur tool to hide names, emails, and codes. Drag a soft blur over the area or cover it with a solid box. Zoom in first so you do not miss small parts. After saving, reopen the image and double check that nothing secret is visible.

Which format should I choose?

For pictures, PNG keeps text crisp and is good for work. JPG makes smaller files for quick sharing. For video, MP4 works on most devices and balances size and quality. GIF is fine for very short, silent clips that need to loop.

What are smart tips for clear captures?

Clean the desktop and close extra tabs before capturing. Use light mode or dark mode to match where you will share. Increase zoom to 110% so small text is easier to read. Add arrows and labels only where needed to avoid clutter. Keep all files in a single folder so you can find them later.

How can I share files safely?

Use a trusted cloud link or send by email to the right person. Set view only if edits are not needed. Remove any hidden data from file properties if you do not want to share it. Delete old captures that are no longer useful so your storage stays tidy.

Screen Capture FAQ

What is a screen capture tool?
A screen capture tool lets you take a screenshot or record your screen. You can pick a window, an area, or the full desktop and add arrows or blur. This screenshot tool is handy for guides, bug reports, and sharing quick how‑to steps with clear images.
How do I take a scrolling screenshot?
Choose scrolling capture, select the window, and press start. The tool will auto scroll and stitch the pieces into one tall image. Trim the top or bottom, highlight key parts, and save as PNG or PDF for sharing or filing a support ticket.
Which formats can I save or share?
Save screenshots as PNG or JPG and screen recordings as MP4 or GIF. Copy to clipboard for chat, or send a share link that auto expires. These export formats work well for email, docs, and help desks, keeping files small and easy to view.
Where are my screenshots saved by default?
Check the capture folder set in the app settings. On desktop it is often the Pictures or Downloads folder, and on mobile it is the Photos album. You can change the path in preferences so every screenshot or screen recording is easy to find later.
Which is better: screen recorder or screenshots?
Use a screen recorder when steps move fast and need sound or timing. Use screenshots when one or two images explain the issue. Pick the capture method that fits the story: video for full how‑to, static images for quick bug or design review.
Why blur parts of a screenshot?
Blurring hides private data like names, emails, or IDs before you share a capture. It keeps users safe and follows privacy rules. You can blur or pixelate only the sensitive area so the rest stays clear, making help guides or bug reports safe to send.
