Taking a screenshot is sometimes the best way to capture an image you find online, snap a photo of the content of an email, or share something from your screen for fun. If you want to know how to take a screenshot using an iPad, follow these easy steps.
Step
Step 1. Find the image you want to capture
Search across iPad to find the image you want to capture. You can choose an interesting part of an email, screenshot an app showing the weather in your city, take a picture of something awesome you find on the internet, take a screenshot of a funny text exchange you have with your friends, or capture a variety of other images.
Step 2. Look for the Sleep/Wake button
This button is at the top of the iPad. This is the button you use to turn iPad on and off.
Step 3. Locate the Home button
It's the round button in the bottom center of your iPad. There is a white rectangle in the middle of the button.
Step 4. Press the Sleep/Wake button, and while doing so, press and release the Home button
Then you can release the Sleep/Wake button (a few moments later).
Don't hold down both buttons at the same time – this will turn off your iPad. You just need to “click” the Home button, not press and hold it
Step 5. If the screenshot is successful, you will hear the camera shutter sound and see a white screen at a glance
Step 6. Check if you have captured the image you want
Check the Camera Roll to make sure the image is there. To search for Camera Roll, simply click the "Photos" app on your iPad's main screen.
- "Camera Roll" will be listed as the first album.
- Look for the last image at the very bottom – this is where you should find your screenshot.
Tips
- Once you take a photo, you can send it by email or to others after searching for it in the Camera Roll.
- If you have iCloud, your screenshots will be automatically synced with your other gadgets with iOS operating system.
- How to take a screenshot is the same on iPod and iPhone.
- If you want to sync images to your computer, you can simply connect your iPad to your computer using a USB cable and download the images via iTunes.
