Taking screenshots on an ASUS laptop is a straightforward process that can be accomplished using various methods. Whether you need to capture an entire screen, a specific window, or a selected area, this guide will walk you through the different techniques available.
The simplest way to take a screenshot on your ASUS laptop is by using the Print Screen (PrtSc) key located at the top of your keyboard.
- How it works: Pressing the PrtSc key captures the entire screen and copies it to your clipboard. You can then paste it into any image editor or document by pressing Ctrl + V.
Print Screen Key
For those who want to save their screenshots directly:
- How it works: Press the Windows key + PrtSc simultaneously. Your screen will briefly dim, indicating that a screenshot has been taken and saved automatically in the Pictures > Screenshots folder.

If you prefer more control over your screenshots:
- How it works: Press Windows + Shift + S to activate the Snipping Tool. This allows you to select a specific area of your screen to capture.
The Snipping Tool is a built-in application in Windows that provides various options for taking screenshots.
1. Open the Snipping Tool: Search for "Snipping Tool" in the Start menu.
2. Choose Your Snip Type:
- Rectangular Snip: Drag around an object to form a rectangle.
- Window Snip: Select a window to capture.
- Full-Screen Snip: Capture the entire screen.
- Free-form Snip: Draw a custom shape around what you want to capture.

In newer versions of Windows, the Snip & Sketch tool replaces the traditional Snipping Tool.

2. Select Your Capture Mode: Choose from Window Snip, Fullscreen Snip, Rectangular Snip, or Freeform.
