Chrome is a multi-device software that can be installed on a computer (Mac & Windows) as well on Mobile Phones (Android & iOS). 

How to Screenshot on Chrome:

Method 1: Chrome Plugin

You can install a plugin that will help you capture the screen with a single click. One of our favorite Chrome Plugins is Lightshot. It is simple and easy to use. 

Installing a Plugin is the best thing to do, as the other two methods are exclusive to Windows users.

Method 2: Using Windows Prnt Scrn Tool

Print Screen is one of the oldest methods used by Windows users to capture the screen content. 

  • However, after you hit the Prnt Screen button, the screenshot is saved in the clipboard. 
  • So, you have to open the Paint application and Paste the screenshot there.
  • From there, you can click on the Save option to save the screenshot on your computer.

Method 3: Using Windows Snipping Tool

You can use the Snipping Tool provided by Windows to capture Screenshot on Chrome as well as other browsers. Even if you are using other browsers, you can use this option. You do not need to install any plugins. 

  • Simply Run the Snipping Tools option.
