How To Take a Snapshot of Your Screen?

You must be seeing those screen  captures on the internet and may be wanting to take some of your own so that you can put them on the internet or submit it to your teacher as a part of your assignment, so I’ll show you how to do that in this post.
First you need to think over and find out your needs. If you want the screenshots just to send it with your assignment and you have Windows 7 on you machine, than I don’t think you need to download a special software so that you can use it for just one time(But again, it’s your choice if you want a taste of Pro software). But if you really need for your blog or want to take a screen shot your whole Facebook timeline, than you’ll probably need a software that can handle that heavy lifting.


So if you belong to the first category, developers of Windows 7 have taken care of your needs.You can either just press Ctrl+PrtSc and the press Ctrl+V in a paint window and then save it, or you can use the Windows 7 utility called "Snipping Tool". To learn how to use it have a look at this video:



For "Pros":

If you want to take a screenshot for either a whole page by scrolling it or anything else, you'll have to first download a freeware called Duck Capture. Using this software is pretty easy as the thumbnails are easy to understand. This software sits in your quick launch bar so it's even convenient to reach it.

For the pros this software includes a snapshot type called scrolling which can literally take a long snapshot of you scrolling windows. Works like a charm and trust me if you wanted to take a snap shot of those 100 comments on you facbook profile picture, then this is the software you needed.
