Google Chrome: Take a screenshot

Take screenshots on Windows and Mac

If you from Google Chrome want to take a screenshot, you can do it quickly and easily with a keyboard shortcut.

• All you have to do is select the Google Chrome window on Windows and then press "Alt Gr" and the "Print Screen" key.
• On Mac, you also need to enable Google Chrome and then use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+3.
• As a result, the Google Chrome screenshot will be on the clipboard and you can then import the image into Paste in any image editing program using the key combination Ctrl+V/Ctrl+V and process.

Use add-on for Google Chrome

Alternatively, you can also install an add-on on Google Chrome and use it to create a screenshot.

• For example, you could use the free extensions "Awesome screenshot" or "Website screenshot" use.
• In order to be able to use this, you only have to click on "Add" in the top right corner and use the "Add" button again in the following dialog.
• With "Awesome Screenshot" you only have to click on the symbol at the top right (black circle) and then select one of the three options. You can either capture only the visible part of the current web page ("Capture Visible..."), one of them take a picture of a defined selection ("Capture Selected Area") or the entire website ("Capture Entire Page") permit. The screenshot will then open on a new page where you can edit the image and save it with "Done" and "Save" (middle right).
• The Web Page Screenshot add-on works similarly, with the icon (a blue and black camera) giving you Visible Screenshot and Full Screenshot options. Once you have selected either option, a new tab will also open where you can easily edit the screenshot. You also have the option of saving the image ("Save"), for example via Facebook, Twitter or Gmail ("Share") or to print ("Print").
