如果您刚刚购买了Chromebook，您可能已经注意到它与大多数笔记本电脑有些不同。这些差异之一是缺少主要在Windows笔记本电脑上找到的(Windows)Print Screen ( PrtSc ) 键，其功能是捕获屏幕截图。
Chromebook(Chromebooks)没有专用的屏幕截图键。相反，该功能内置于Chrome操作系统中。但是，该过程仍然相当简单，并且在某些方面类似于在 Windows PC 或Mac上截屏，除了一些键盘快捷键差异和其他步骤。
无论您是想抓取整个屏幕(grab the entire screen)还是窗口的特定部分，我们都会引导您通过各种方式在Chromebook上截取屏幕截图，以生成您需要的图像。
在 Chromebook 上截屏的不同方法(Different Methods To Take a Screenshot On Chromebook)
- 使用显示 Windows(Show Windows)键
- 使用电源(Power)和降低音量( Volume down)按钮
- 使用触控笔
- 使用外接键盘
- 使用高级 Chromebook 应用
使用显示 Windows 键(Using The Show Windows Key)
在您继续使用 Chromebook 并使用这些方法中的任何一种截屏之前，您需要熟悉键盘上称为Show Windows键的特定键。在某些情况下，它被称为Overview键或 Windows Switcher键，但Google将其描述为Show all windows in Overview 模式(Show all windows in Overview mode)键。
对于本指南，我们将使用Show Windows。此键位于数字行的正上方，在键盘上的全屏和亮度降低按钮之间。它看起来像一个小矩形，右侧有两条垂直线。
Show Windows键使用不同的组合键来捕获完整或部分屏幕截图。根据型号和制造商的不同，以下步骤中提到的按键在 Chromebook 键盘上的显示可能会有所不同。
- 要全屏抓取，请按住CTRL+Show Windows键。您会在屏幕右下角看到一个通知窗口，表示截图成功并已保存。
- 要捕获屏幕上的部分屏幕截图或特定区域，请同时按住CTRL+SHIFT+Show Windows键。
- 鼠标光标将暂时变为十字准线图标，因此单击并拖动以突出显示您要捕获的区域。选择后，松开触控板以捕获屏幕截图。
屏幕右下角将再次出现一个通知窗口，指示该过程成功并且屏幕截图已保存。
使用电源和降低音量按钮(Using The Power & Volume Down Buttons)
如果您的Chromebook是带有 360 度铰链的二合一设备，您可以像在Android智能手机或平板电脑上一样，使用电源和音量减小按钮在平板电脑模式下截屏。
键盘通常在平板电脑模式下处于非活动状态，因此“显示 Windows”(Show Windows)和CTRL键方法将不起作用。
要在平板电脑模式下截屏，请同时按住电源和音量调低按钮(power and volume down buttons)，它将捕获整个屏幕的图像。
如果您想要部分屏幕截图，则必须裁剪刚刚捕获的完整屏幕截图并保存。在平板电脑模式下无法捕捉屏幕的特定区域。
使用触控笔(Using a Stylus Pen)
Pixelbook或三星 Chromebook Plus(Samsung Chromebook Plus)等一些Chromebook(Chromebooks)配备触控笔，您可以在平板电脑模式下使用触控笔捕获完整或部分屏幕截图，并根据需要对其进行注释。
工具菜单将出现在屏幕的右下方。从这里，您可以使用笔捕获您想要的屏幕部分来绘制或选择区域。
使用外接键盘(Using An External Keyboard)
您可以将外部键盘插入Chromebook，或使用 Chrome 驱动的桌面 ( Chromebox ) 并使用它来截取屏幕截图。
外部键盘不一定使用 Chrome 的专用按钮行，但它们的功能键做同样的工作。例如，F5 按钮用作标准功能键盘上的Show Windows键，在这种情况下，您将使用CTRL+F5命令截取完整屏幕截图，使用CTRL+SHIFT+F5 F5 命令截取部分屏幕截图。
屏幕截图在 Chromebook 中保存到哪里？(Where Does The Screenshot Save To In a Chromebook?)
屏幕截图(Screenshot)图像文件本地保存在Chromebook的“下载(Downloads)”文件夹中，并根据拍摄日期和时间进行组织。但是，它们在Google Drive(Google Drive)上不可用，因此您必须手动移动文件。
- 要查找特定屏幕截图，请单击Chrome OS 架子(Chrome OS shelf)上的文件夹图标以打开“文件”(Files )应用。
- 在左侧菜单窗格中，选择下载并在(Downloads)文件(Files)界面右侧查找您的屏幕截图。
如何使用本机图像查看器编辑屏幕截图(How To Edit Screenshots Using The Native Image Viewer)
如果您想在使用屏幕截图或与他人共享之前对屏幕截图进行更多操作，您可以使用内置的图像查看器编辑器。
- 打开下载(Downloads)并双击屏幕截图以在图像查看器(Image Viewer)编辑器中打开它。
- 在窗口的右下方，单击钢笔图标(pen icon)进入编辑模式(Edit mode)。在此窗口的底部，您会看到各种工具，可让您裁剪、旋转或调整亮度设置。
Image Viewer不允许您保存编辑的副本，因此请再次单击钢笔图标以完成编辑。
使用高级 Chromebook 应用(Use Advanced Chromebook Apps)
有很多Chromebook扩展程序和应用程序可用于在Chromebook上截屏，它们提供了比上述内置方法更多的功能。这里有一些最好的Chromebook应用程序，您可以使用它们来获得更多的屏幕截图捕获功能。
火枪(FireShot)(FireShot)
这是一个免费使用的扩展程序，可让您截取整个（包括网页）或部分屏幕截图，以多种格式编辑和保存，并直接发送到Gmail或OneNote。
超级铬(SuperChrome)(SuperChrome)
此扩展提供了一种更简单、更快捷的方式来捕获网页的完整屏幕截图。它具有可让您截取整个网站的工具，以及各种格式的编辑、共享和转换选项，包括转换为PDF(PDFs)。

使用此扩展程序，您可以选择捕获屏幕截图或截屏（屏幕录制）并在需要时拍摄视频。它支持注释和模糊，以及其他与屏幕截图相关的功能。
光射(Lightshot)(Lightshot)
这是一个易于使用的工具，用于截取您想要的任何部分的屏幕截图。 将图像拖放(Drag)到屏幕的任何部分，在适当位置进行编辑，然后将其下载到Chromebook或将其发送到云端。
How To Take a Screenshot On Chromebook
If you just got a Chromebook, you’ve рrobably noticed that it’s a bit different from most laptopѕ. One of these differences is the absence of the Print Screen (PrtSc) key that’s mostly found on Windows laptops, whose function is to capturе screenshots.
Chromebooks don’t have a dedicated screenshot key. Instead, the function is built into the Chrome operating system. However, the process is still fairly simple and in some ways similar to taking screenshots on a Windows PC or Mac, except for a few keyboard shortcut differences, and other steps.
Whether you want to grab the entire screen or a specific portion of the window, we’ll walk you through the various ways to take a screenshot on Chromebook, to produce the images you need.
Different Methods To Take a Screenshot On Chromebook
- Using the Show Windows key
- Using the Power and Volume down buttons
- Using a stylus pen
- Using an external keyboard
- Using advanced Chromebook apps
Using The Show Windows Key
Before you go on your Chromebook and take screenshots using any of these methods, you need to familiarize yourself with a specific key on the keyboard called the Show Windows key. In some cases, it’s referred to as the Overview key or Windows Switcher key, but Google describes it as the Show all windows in Overview mode key.
For this guide, we’ll use Show Windows. This key is located just above the number row, between the full screen and brightness down buttons on your keyboard. It looks like a little rectangle followed by two vertical lines on its right side.
There are different key combinations used with the Show Windows key to capture a full or partial screenshot. The keys referenced in the steps below may appear differently on your Chromebook’s keyboard depending on the model and manufacturer.
- For a full screengrab, press and hold down the CTRL+Show Windows key. You’ll see a notification window at the bottom right corner of the screen, indicating that the screenshot was successfully taken and has been saved.
- To capture a partial screenshot or specific region on your screen, press and hold down the CTRL+SHIFT+Show Windows key at the same time.
- The mouse cursor will change to a crosshair icon temporarily so click and drag to highlight the area you’d like to capture. Once you’ve selected it, release the trackpad to capture the screenshot.
Once again, a notification window will appear at the lower right corner of your screen indicating the process was successful and the screenshot has been saved.
Using The Power & Volume Down Buttons
If your Chromebook is a two-in-one with a 360-degree hinge, you can take screenshots in tablet mode using the power and volume down buttons, as you would on an Android smartphone or tablet.
The keyboard is usually inactive in tablet mode, so the Show Windows and CTRL key method won’t work.
To take a screenshot in tablet mode, press and hold down the power and volume down buttons simultaneously, and it’ll capture an image of the entire screen.
If you want a partial screenshot, you’ll have to crop the full screenshot you just captured, and save it. There’s no option for capturing specific regions of your screen in tablet mode.
Using a Stylus Pen
Some Chromebooks like Pixelbook or Samsung Chromebook Plus come with a stylus, which you can use to capture a full or partial screenshot while in tablet mode, and annotate it if you want.
A menu of tools will appear in the bottom right side of the screen. From here, you can capture the part of the screen you want using the pen to draw or select the region.
Using An External Keyboard
You can plug in an external keyboard into your Chromebook, or use a Chrome-powered desktop (Chromebox) and use it to take screenshots.
External keyboards don’t necessarily use Chrome’s dedicated button row, but their function keys do the same job. For example, the F5 button works as the Show Windows key on standard function keyboards, in which case you’ll use the CTRL+F5 command to take a full screenshot and CTRL+SHIFT+F5 for partial screenshots.
Where Does The Screenshot Save To In a Chromebook?
Screenshot image files are saved locally on your Chromebook’s Downloads folder and organized according to the date and time they were taken. However, they won’t be available on Google Drive so you have to move the files manually.
- To find a particular screenshot, click the folder icon on the Chrome OS shelf to open the Files app.
- In the left menu pane, select Downloads and look for your screenshot on the right side of the Files interface.
How To Edit Screenshots Using The Native Image Viewer
If you want to do a little more with your screenshots before using them or sharing with others, you can use the built-in image viewer editor.
- Open Downloads and double-click the screenshot to open it in the Image Viewer editor.
- At the lower right side of the window, click the pen icon to enter Edit mode. At the bottom of this window, you’ll see various tools that allow you to crop, rotate or adjust brightness settings.
Image Viewer doesn’t let you save copies of your edits, so click the pen icon again to finalize your edits.
Use Advanced Chromebook Apps
There are plenty of Chromebook extensions and apps you can use to take screenshots on a Chromebook, which offer extra functionality than the built-in methods described above. Here are a few of the best Chromebook apps you can use for more screenshot-capturing abilities.
This is a free-to-use extension that lets you take whole (including web pages) or partial screenshots, edit and save in multiple formats, and send directly to Gmail or OneNote.
This extension offers an easier and faster way of capturing full screenshots of web pages. It has tools that let you screenshot entire websites, plus editing, sharing and conversion options in various formats including converting to PDFs.
With this extension, you can choose to capture a screenshot or screencast (screen record) and take videos when you want. It supports annotations and blurring, among other screenshot-related functionality.
This is an easy-to-use tool for taking screenshots over any section you want. Drag and drop the image to any part of your screen, edit it in place, and then download it to your Chromebook or send it to the cloud.
