Ekraanipiltide

Ekraanipiltide, also known as screenshots, are digital images that capture the contents of a computer display or a portion of it. They are commonly used to share information, provide visual instructions, or document on-screen activity. The term "ekraanipiltide" is Estonian for "screenshots."

Screenshots can be taken on various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. The method of capturing a screenshot varies depending on the operating system and device. For instance, on Windows computers, the "PrtScn" key is often used to capture the entire screen, while on macOS, the "Command + Shift + 4" combination allows for capturing a selected portion of the screen. On smartphones, the process typically involves pressing a combination of hardware buttons or using a gesture.

The file formats for screenshots can vary, but common formats include PNG, JPEG, and BMP. PNG is often preferred due to its lossless compression, which ensures high-quality images. Screenshots can be edited using various image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or built-in tools like the Windows Snipping Tool or macOS's Preview.

Screenshots are widely used in technical support, software documentation, and online tutorials. They provide a quick and efficient way to convey visual information. Additionally, screenshots are often used in social media, gaming, and communication to share moments or highlight specific content. The ability to capture and share screenshots has become an essential feature in modern computing and mobile devices.
