Windows and its shortcut to take screenshots easily

Many times, whether for work or mere leisure, we need to take screenshots on our monitor, however, there is a simple method to do it. Generally as users we usually use the application ‘Cutouts’ in Windows, but do you know what the keyboard shortcut is to do it?

If you are a person who doesn’t even know how to use the “Snipping” application, this tip will save you time and effort.

The command to capture your screen

With the key impr pant When you press it, it will be “saved” to the clipboard, however, to use it, you must use other editing tools such as Paint to paste it and work with it or Photoscape. To make the process faster, you can choose to auto-save the entire screen in a specific location.

And although it may seem really simple to have a function that auto-saves the screen, the truth is that it was not until Windows 8, released in 2012, when Microsoft came up with the idea of ​​applying a keyboard shortcut that would auto-save the screen at a given moment. We are referring to the shortcut ‘Windows + ImprPant’.

By pressing these two keys simultaneously, the screenshot of what is being displayed will be saved inside ‘My Images’ in the folder that is generated called ‘Screenshots’. The format established for saving is PNG, which offers higher quality as it is not as compressed as JPG.

That is why we talk regarding a function that has been with us since 2012, and it makes screenshots much faster by not having to depend on Paint. Logically, some users may have already discovered it, but many others who do not delve so much into the operating system will have discovered it and it can greatly improve their productivity.
