Skärmavbildning

Skärmavbildning, often referred to as screenshotting, is the process of capturing a static image of the contents displayed on a computer or mobile device's screen. This image can then be saved as a file or shared. The exact method for performing skärmavbildning varies depending on the operating system and device being used.

On personal computers running Windows, a common method involves pressing the "Print Screen" (PrtScn) key, which copies the entire screen content to the clipboard. Alternatively, pressing the Windows key along with "Print Screen" saves the image directly to a designated folder. For macOS users, a combination of "Command" + "Shift" + "3" captures the entire screen, while "Command" + "Shift" + "4" allows for selecting a specific area to capture.

Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, typically have dedicated button combinations for skärmavbildning. For example, on many Android devices, holding down the power button and the volume down button simultaneously will take a screenshot. iOS devices often utilize a combination of the side button and the volume up button, or the home button and the power button on older models.

Skärmavbildning serves numerous purposes, including documenting errors, providing instructions or tutorials, sharing visual information, or preserving content for later reference. The captured images are usually saved in common image formats like JPEG or PNG.
