What is the Chrome shortcut for screenshot?

Press Shift + Ctrl + Show windows . Or, if your Chromebook has it, press the Screenshot key .

How do I take a screenshot on hotkey?

Depending on your hardware, you may use the Windows Logo Key + PrtScn button as a shortcut for print screen. If your device does not have the PrtScn button, you may use Fn + Windows logo key + Space Bar to take a screenshot, which can then be printed.

Long list but fastest execution when learned:

  1. press CTRL+SHIFT (keep them pressed)
  2. press i (opens Chrome development tools)
  3. press p (opens the Command Menu)
  4. release CTRL+SHIFT
  5. write "re s" (selects "Capture screenshot" command)
  6. press Enter (executes the command and downloads the captured screenshot)

Variants of step n. 5:

  • write "cfu" (selects "Capture full size screenshot" command)
  • write "caph" (selects "Capture area screenshot" command)
  • write "cnod" (selects "Capture node sreenshot" command)

To take a screenshot while the page having the focus (hence the need for shortcuts):

  1. In the DevTools, open the command menu, type Rendering, and select "Show Rendering":

    Chromium "Command Menu" typing "Rendering" dark theme

  2. In the Rendering tab, enable ☑️Emulate a focused page:

    Chrome devtools panel Rendering with "Emulate a focused page" highlighted

  3. Now you can take screenshots as described in the doc but without the need to use shortcuts:

I work on the DevTools team. There's no keyboard shortcut for it, and there's no way to add custom keyboard shortcuts.

But you can access it from the Command Menu.

  1. Open the Command Menu.
  2. Start typing Screenshots and select Capture full size screenshot.
