Sometimes users need to save a snapshot of what is in this moment happens on the screen. Sometimes this turns out to be a convenient way to save the information you need, and the screen can also be useful for writing informational articles, guides and manuals for any programs. If you are going to send a request to technical support any, most likely, the operator will ask you for a snapshot of the error that occurred. This article describes how to take a screenshot with standard Windows tools and using a special plugin in Yandex browser.

Each keyboard has a PrtScr service key that users can use to capture an image from the monitor. This button works on the desktop, as well as in all third-party programs, including the Yandex web browser.

After clicking this button, your display image is copied to the clipboard. You should be careful when working with texts so as not to accidentally delete an important fragment of your document contained in the buffer. Once an image is captured, it needs to be placed or saved somewhere.

You can paste it in Text Document, an image editor, or in the Skype message box, or social networks. In an editor, for example, Paint, users can crop a screenshot, make inscriptions or explanations for it, change the size and proportions, and then save it in a format convenient for them.

Scissors

Although it can be used for any application, the key Print Screen can be quite inconvenient when working with individual windows. Each time you open Paint, you need to cut out the window and make signatures for quite some time. To get rid of such routine work, you can use the built-in Windows utility- scissors.

To take a screenshot using this utility, do the following:

Yandex Lightshot

The methods discussed above are universal and work for any Windows application.

The Yandex Internet browser has its own tool with which users can easily create and format a screenshot. This is a Lightshot plug-in. To use it, do the following:

Sometimes in the process of surfing the Internet, it becomes necessary to save an image from the monitor screen or, more simply, take a screenshot. There are many reasons for this - to keep necessary information, write a guide or instruction with images attached, send a support request with an image of an error, and much more.

Unfortunately, there are no regular tools for this process in browsers yet. But still take a screenshot in Yandex browser in several ways:

• Installing an additional plugin in Yandex browser;
• Installation special program on computer;
• Regular funds operating system.

Plugins and add-ons

A simple and convenient Yandex browser extension is the Yandex Lightshot plug-in. AT latest versions browser, it is already preinstalled, but you need to enable it to use it.

This is done in the Yandex browser simply:

1. We start the program;
2. Go to Menu;
3. Click on the "Add-ons" section;
4. We find the "Tools" block and select the plugin of interest to us.
5. Using the switch next to the name of the add-on, activate the program.

If everything is done correctly, then the icon of the activated application in the form of a purple pen will appear in the Yandex browser toolbar.

As mentioned above, the add-on is very easy to use and does not require special skills:

• We load any page in the browser.
• After the information of interest to us appears on the screen, press the Prt sc (Print Screen) key on the keyboard.
• Hold down the left mouse button and select the area that you want to save.
• In front of us, in addition to the main window, the program toolbar will appear.

If we don’t need anything other than the image, click the “Save” button (1) to save the image to the computer. It is possible to save a screenshot in the cloud and then assign it a separate link, which can be sent to the interlocutor by mail or any messenger. This is done using the "Save to the cloud" button (2).

Advice! If you want to take screenshots not only on browser pages, but also in any other place or program, download a separate Lightshot program for a personal computer. All the functionality is described above, the only difference from the browser plugin is that it works everywhere, there is no binding to a specific program.

There is another application similar in functionality for Yandex browser - Screenshot.

It has the same functionality, but to install it, you must first go to the Yandex browser app store and install and activate it from there. The algorithm of the Screenshotter is no different from working with Lightshot.

Third party addons

There are other ways to take a screenshot to save an image, but they are not specific to the browser. Using these methods, you can take screenshots in any program, any image on your monitor.

The first way - regular funds Windows. There are two applications - the regular Print Screen and the scissors tool.

If no additional plug-ins or programs are installed, then by pressing the Print Screen key on the keyboard, you automatically save a snapshot from the entire monitor in the buffer (this is the difference and a big minus compared to third party programs– you cannot pre-select the area to be saved). Unfortunately the developers Microsoft could not or did not want to do automatic saving of images. In order to save the screen from the buffer as a picture, you need to open some graphics editor(the easiest is standard Paint) and using context menu or Ctrl+V keys to paste the saved screen fragment. Now you can edit, crop, save the image.

Second way
You can find this tool in the list standard applications Windows (Start→All Programs→Accessories→Scissors).

The utility allows you to select the screen area for the screen, has a small toolbar and the ability to save fragments. But she is very uncomfortable to work with.

Thus, we see that various third-party add-ons are much more convenient and pleasant to use than standard means operating system. By installing add-ons in your web browser, you get a great and simple tool. Let's hope that in the near future such a function will become a standard option in the Yandex browser.
