How do I take a screenshot on my Galaxy tablet?
Taking screenshots on your Samsung Galaxy tablet goes beyond just a convenient feature; it serves as a valuable tool that can greatly enhance your digital experience. Whether you need to preserve vital information, share content, or showcase your creativity, there are various methods to capture screenshots on your tablet, with the specific approach depending on your tablet model.
You can capture a screenshot by quickly pressing and holding the Power and Volume down keys at the same time. If you don't press them simultaneously or if you hold them for too long, a screenshot will not be taken. Instead, the Power menu or Bixby will launch.
If your tablet has a physical Home key, you can also press and hold the Power and Home keys simultaneously to capture a screenshot.
When you take a screenshot, it will be automatically saved in the gallery.
Is there an easier way to take a screenshot? Yes, please! From Settings, search for and select Palm Swipe to capture. Then, tap the switch to turn on palm swipe to capture. Now you can simply swipe your palm across the screen you want to capture.
Make sure you are swiping correctly. If your palm swipe is not detected, the tablet will not capture the screenshot.
Note: The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite does not support palm swipe capture due to a hardware limitation. However, you can use the tablet keys or the Air command menu to take a screenshot instead. You can then view and share your screenshot in the Gallery app.
If you have a Galaxy Tab S6 or later, you can take screenshots using your S Pen and the Screen Write feature! Navigate to the screen you'd like to take a screenshot of. Using the S Pen, tap the Air command menu icon, and then tap Screen Write.
Your tablet will automatically take a screenshot of the page you're on. Use the controls to write or draw on the screenshot if you'd like. When you're done, tap Save to store the screenshot in Gallery, even if you didn't write on it.
You can view the screenshots you've captured from the notification panel or gallery. To view it immediately after it's been captured, swipe down the Notification panel, and then tap the Smart Capture notification.
To view it at any time, navigate to Gallery. Select the Albums tab, and then tap Screenshots to view all your screenshots.
To share a screenshot right after you've captured one, swipe down the notification panel. Then, swipe down on the Samsung Capture notification with the screenshot you just took. Tap Share, and then share the screenshot by using one of the available sharing options.
There are a couple more things you can do when you’re taking a screenshot, like adding a personal touch by editing it. Right after you've taken a screenshot, a small menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Select Edit (the pencil icon) to write or draw on the screenshot, or crop out a portion of it that you don’t need right away. The cropped portion will be saved in the gallery.
Scroll capture allows you to take a screenshot of the current content as well as parts of the screen that are hidden, like when you're on a large webpage. Tap Scroll Capture, and the screen will automatically swipe down so more content can be captured. Keep tapping the scroll capture icon until you've reached the bottom of the page.
