How to Screenshot with my Samsung Galaxy Device

Note: This function may not be available on all Galaxy phones.

Wait, there's another way to take a screenshot. On some phones, you can use palm swipe to take a screenshot without even pressing a button.

From Settings, search for and select Palm swipe to capture. Then, tap the switch next to "Palm swipe to capture." Now you'll be able to take a screenshot just by swiping the edge of your hand across your phone's screen.

Is that webpage too long to capture in just one screenshot? Scroll capture lets you take multiple screenshots of one page and then combines them all into one big screenshot. That way, you get the whole picture.

1. Navigate to the screen you want to capture.

2. To take the screenshot, press the Power key (Side key) and Volume down key simultaneously.

3. When the Smart capture menu appears, tap the Scroll capture icon - it looks like a downward arrow, and it will bounce up and down.

4. Then, tap the icon a second time to begin the scroll capture process.

5. Keep tapping the icon until it reaches the bottom of the page or your desired spot.

6. Add tags to your screenshots by tapping the hashtag icon in the Smart capture menu.
   

7. Suggested tags will appear, but you can create your own as well. Tap Save to save your tag. 
8. When you are done, simply tap outside of the Smart capture menu bar. To view the captured screen, tap the screenshot preview or navigate to Gallery.
   

Note: The smart capture icon will not appear unless you are on a large web page, app screen, or image that requires scrolling. It may not work on certain websites. On newer phones, you cannot turn Smart capture off. It's always enabled.

If you have Bixby Voice or Google Assistant set up, you can take a screenshot with a simple voice command. Say "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot," and Bixby will capture what's on your screen.

You can even string together complex commands and say "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot, and share on Twitter."

If you’re always using an S Pen with a compatible phone, why not take a screenshot with it as well? The S Pen's Screen write feature can easily snap a quick screenshot of whatever you're doing on the phone.

Remove your S Pen from your phone, and then navigate to the screen you'd like to capture. With your S Pen, tap the Air command menu icon, and then tap Screen write. Your phone 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 the Save icon to store the screenshot in Gallery.

You can also use your S Pen to capture parts of an image with Smart Select.

No matter what kind of phone you have, you'll be able to view your screenshots in the same place. Just navigate to your apps and open Gallery.

On some phones, you can tap Albums to see a collection of all the screenshots you've taken on your phone.
