Capturing a screenshot on your Android phone is a quick and easy way to save or share what’s on your scree. In this guide, we’ll show you how to take a screenshot on most Android devices, including Samsung, Google Pixel, and others. We’ll also cover alternative methods and what to do if the usual buttons don’t work.

Capturing a screenshot using button combination

Step 1:

Hold the Power and Volume Down buttons together and a screenshot will be saved to your gallery.

Step 2:

You’ll receive two notifications — one at the bottom of the screen and another in the notification area — both of which can be used to view or edit the image. These can differ slightly depending on your Android OS version.

Want to save your screenshots somewhere else? On newer versions of Android, you can change the default screenshot location—perfect if you want to use an SD card or organize your files better.

Want to capture your iPhone screen? Our quick and easy guide shows you exactly how to take a screenshot on any iPhone model.
