näyttökuva

Näyttökuva, often translated as "screenshot" in English, refers to a digital image that captures whatever is currently displayed on a computer monitor or mobile device screen. It is a method of documenting visual information from a digital interface.

The process of taking a näyttökuva varies depending on the operating system and device. On personal computers, common methods involve pressing specific key combinations, such as the Print Screen key (often abbreviated as PrtScn) or Command + Shift + 3 on macOS. On mobile devices, it typically involves pressing a combination of physical buttons, like the power and volume down buttons. Many operating systems also include built-in tools or applications that allow users to capture full screens, specific windows, or custom regions of the screen, and often provide basic editing capabilities.

Näyttökuvat are widely used for various purposes. They are commonly employed for technical support, allowing users to show an error message or a problem on their screen to a support agent. In education and training, they can be used to illustrate steps in a tutorial or demonstrate software features. Students and professionals use them to save important information, share visual content, or archive web pages. Game players often take näyttökuvat to capture memorable moments or achievements. Due to their direct visual representation, näyttökuvat are a simple and effective way to communicate what is visible on a screen.
