Cómo hacer una captura de pantalla en un teléfono Samsung

You can take a screenshot with every Android phone and tablet, but the exact method to do so will depend on your device manufacturer.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, you have many methods at your disposal, like pressing buttons or swiping across the screen. We're going to detail how to screenshot on a Samsung tablet and phone.

1. Press the Power and Volume Down Buttons

For most, this will be the easiest way to take a screenshot on a Samsung phone or tablet.

Simply hold down the Power button (or Side key) and the Volume down button simultaneously.

The exact location of these buttons will depend on your device. On the Samsung Galaxy S21, both of those buttons are on the right side of the device. On the Samsung Galaxy S8, volume is on the left and power is on the right.

You only need to hold these buttons for a second or two. The screen will flash white to indicate a screenshot has been taken.

This is a standard Android screenshot shortcut that will work on more than just Samsung devices.

2. Use Palm Swipe

On some Samsung devices, you can swipe your palm across the screen to take a screenshot.

To enable this, go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Palm swipe to capture > On.

Now, swipe the edge of your hand across the screen from right to left to take a screenshot.

If you're unsure of the exact motion, the Settings screen will show you an animation that demonstrates.

3. Ask Bixby or Google Assistant

If you have a voice-activated virtual assistant set up on your phone, you can use it to take a screenshot.

If you have Bixby Voice, say "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot". Alternatively, if you have Google Assistant, say "Hey Google, take a screenshot".

You can pair these commands with other instructions, like "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot and share on Instagram".

4. Use the Edge Panel

Some Samsung devices have edge panels. These are handy features that you can quickly access by swiping the side of the screen. One edge panel that you can enable allows you to take screenshots.

To enable this, go to Settings > Display > Edge screen > Edge panels > On. From here, enable the Smart select panel.

Now, when you swipe in from the right edge of your screen, it will bring up the Smart select panel.

Select either Rectangle or Oval, then drag to choose the area you want to screenshot. Tap Done, then tap the Save icon (the down arrow).

5. Use the S Pen

If you have a Galaxy Note device, you can use the S Pen to take a screenshot.

Take the S Pen from the device, tap the Air command menu icon, then tap Screen write. This will take a full screenshot. You can then edit the screenshot using the on-screen tools, if desired. Once done, tap the Save icon.

6. Use Scroll Capture to Screenshot the Entire Page

If you want to capture a long webpage or app, you don't need to take multiple screenshots. Instead, you can use Samsung's Scroll Capture Feature to create a single large screenshot.

After taking a normal screenshot, the Smart Capture menu appears at the bottom of the screen. On this, tap the Scroll Capture icon—it's two downwards arrows that bounce.

One tap will scroll the page down once and stitch the screenshot to the bottom of the first. Keep tapping the icon until you've captured everything on the page that you want.

How to View Your Samsung Screenshots

Once you've taken a screenshot on your Samsung phone or tablet, you might wonder where they're saved and how you can access them. That's simple.

Open the Gallery app and select Albums from the bottom menu. You will then see a Screenshots album that you can manage like regular photos.

How Can I Take a Screenshot on My Samsung S20?

At some point, you’ll want to take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20, whether you want to record what you’re doing in an app, a game, or on your home screen. There are several ways to do this, and understanding the differences can be helpful. Smart capture, for example, allows you to capture a single page or display by scrolling down as you capture the image, as opposed to what’s just shown on the screen.

Ways to Take a Screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Smartphone

There are several ways to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphone. We’ll break each step down in more detail below, but here are the methods:

• Using the physical hardware buttons.
• With a palm swipe gesture.
• Using the Smart Capture tool for scrolling shots.
• By talking with Bixby, Samsung’s smart voice assistant.
• By talking to Google Assistant.
• With Smart Select in the Edge Panel.

How to Take a Screenshot on S20 With the Hardware Buttons

The most common and easiest way to take a screenshot is to press the physical buttons in a certain combination. Here’s how to do that:

1. Position what you want to capture on the screen. What you see is what will show in the screenshot.

2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.

3. If you did it correctly you should see a snapshot of your screen. It will show for a brief moment and then go away.

You can access your screenshots in the Samsung gallery.

How to Take a Screenshot on S20 With a Palm Swipe

Taking a screenshot with the palm swipe gesture will take some practice, but once you get used to it, it’s also a fairly easy way to capture what’s on the screen.

Before you can use the gesture, however, you’ll need to double-check it’s enabled in the Samsung settings.

How to Enable the Palm Swipe Mode

To enable the palm gesture function:

1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Features.
   

2. Tap Motion and Gestures.
   

3. In Motion and Gestures, you’ll find an option called Palm Swipe to Capture. Make sure it’s enabled by interacting with the toggle. It will turn blue when it’s enabled, or white and grey when it’s disabled.
   

How to Take a Screenshot With a Palm Swipe

Once you’re sure the function is enabled in settings, situate whatever you want to capture on the screen. You may need to practice the action before getting the hang of it.

With your palm facing sideways, place the side of your hand in the center of the screen and swipe it across the display.

If it worked you will see a snapshot animation on your screen, which will show for a second or two and then go away.

How to Take a Screenshot on S20 With Smart Capture

Smart Capture can be used to capture a huge wall of text or content, usually on a website. As the image is captured you can scroll down, creating a panoramic-style shot. You can also activate the mode using any one of the screenshot methods. For example, you can start Smart Capture by pressing the hardware buttons or with a palm swipe. It’s your choice.

Before you can use Smart Capture, you’ll need to make sure the function is enabled.

How to Enable Smart Capture

To enable Smart Capture:

1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Features
   

2. Tap Screenshots and screen recorder.
   

3. Then, make sure the Screenshot Toolbar is enabled by interacting with the toggle. It will be blue if the function is enabled, or white and grey if it’s disabled.
   

How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot With Smart Capture

Here’s how to take a scrolling Smart Capture of a website or application:

1. Situate the content you want to capture on the screen by opening the page in your browser or the application.

2. Activate the screenshot using your method of choice, whether via the hardware buttons or palm swipe gesture.

3. The screenshot toolbar will show at the bottom of the screen. Tap the first icon from the left, called Scroll Capture. Continue tapping that button if you want to capture more of the page.

4. When you’re done, tap somewhere on the screen to exit the mode and save the screenshot.

How to Use Bixby to Capture a Screenshot on the S20

Bixby is Samsung’s voice assistant, similar to Siri or Alexa. You can use the tool to take a screenshot with a simple voice command, but first, you’ll need to make sure the function is enabled.

How to Enable Voice Commands With Bixby

Let's get the voice commands enabled.

1. Navigate to Bixby Home. You can open Bixby Home by pressing the dedicated button and tapping the home icon.
   

2. Then tap the Settings gear icon.

3. Then, make sure the Voice Wake-Up setting is enabled. This will allow Bixby to respond to your voice commands. The toggle will be blue if it’s activated or grey and white if it’s disabled.

How to Take a Screenshot With Bixby on Galaxy S20

To call upon Bixby for screenshots:

1. Situate what you want to capture on the screen.
   

2. Either press and hold the Bixby button to talk, or just say “Hi Bixby.”
   

3. When Bixby activates, say “Take a screenshot.” The tool will capture the screen as if you took the screenshot yourself.
   

How to Use Google Assistant to Capture a Screenshot on S20

Besides Bixby, the Galaxy S20 also has Google’s voice assistant on the device. You use this tool to issue voice commands and capture a screenshot, just like you can with Bixby.

Here’s how to use Google Assistant to take a screenshot:

1. Make sure the content you want to capture is on the screen.

2. Say, “Okay Google.” Wait for the assistant to activate. The phone will vibrate when it does.

3. When the prompt appears, simply say “take a screenshot.” Google Assistant will capture what’s on the screen.

How to Take a Screenshot Using Smart Select on S20

The Samsung Smart Select feature lets you capture a screenshot and choose what will be included. This is a great way to capture a small portion of the screen, select elements, or censor content you don’t want to be included.

First, you’ll need to make sure the function is enabled.

How to Enable Smart Select on Galaxy S20

Here’s how to turn on the Samsung Smart Select function:

1. Navigate to Settings > Display > Edge Screen > Edge Panels. Make sure the Edge Panels are enabled. The toggle will be blue if active.

2. Swipe from the side of the screen to open the Edge Panel. Tap the Settings icon at the bottom.

3. Make sure the Smart Select Edge Panel is enabled. The toggle at the top will be blue.

How to Use Smart Select to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy S20

Here’s how to take a more personalized screenshot using the Smart Select tool:

1. Open the Edge Panel by swiping in from the edge of the screen. Swipe again to open the Smart Select panel.

2. Select either the shape or type of image you want to capture. Rectangle and oval are self-explanatory. Animation will allow you to capture an animated shot. Pin to Screen will show a customizable tool on the screen so you can select what to capture.

3. Resize or highlight the area you want to capture and then tap Done.

Thanks for letting us know!

Whether you're trying to save a bit of information for later or want to share something you came across, it's hard to find a more useful feature on our smartphone these days than the ability to take a screenshot. Thankfully, most Android manufacturers have standardized this process, so learning how to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy phone should be a piece of cake. Don't believe me? I'll show you how below.

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy S or Note phone

There are a bunch of ways to take a screenshot with a Samsung phone; one is pretty obvious and the other two ways a little less so. We'll walk you through all three of these methods below.

Note: These methods apply to most Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the Galaxy S and now-defunct Note lines, along with most modern Galaxy A models from the last four years. If your phone is over four years old, it may only support the below key combination screenshot method, and not the other two.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using a key combination

Like most Android smartphones, taking a quick screenshot on a Samsung phone combines the power button and the volume button in a quick gesture that may take some getting used to. But once you've mastered it, you'll never miss it again.

1. Open the content you want to screenshot.
2. At the same time, press the power and volume down buttons for one second, and release them.
3. Note that if you hold the buttons more than a second, your phone will either launch a long-press action with the power button or adjust the volume down. You only need to hold the buttons for a second to take a screenshot.
4. The screenshot will be immediately shareable from the bottom bar that pops on screen (far right button), or you can access it from the notification shade instead.
5. You can also jump into an editing mode by using the center button. This lets you crop and draw on the screenshot before sharing or saving.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using a palm swipe

1. Open the content to screenshot.
2. Place your hand vertically on the left or right edge of the phone, and swipe it across the screen, while keeping your hand in contact with the screen, in one motion.
3. If this method doesn't work, go into Settings, Advanced features, Motions and gestures and make sure Palm swipe to capture is turned on.
4. The screenshot will be saved, shareable, and editable in the exact same way from either the on-screen toolbar or the notification shade.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using Bixby Voice

Bixby Voice can be used to take a screenshot if you're unable to grab your phone to use the buttons or palm swipe.

1. Open the content to screenshot.
2. By default, a long-press of the button will launch Bixby Voice, after you've opened it once.
3. With the interface activated, say "take a screenshot."
4. With the Bixby method, you miss out on the instant edit capabilities of the other methods. You can, however, string together commands such as "take a screenshot and share it to Twitter" if you want to get elaborate.

Capture more with "scroll capture"

No matter how you start your screenshot, after capturing you'll see a set of options at the bottom of the screen, including "screen capture." This button — on the left side, a box with down-facing arrows in it — makes the phone scroll through the content on the screen and take multiple screenshots, which are then stitched together into one tall screenshot showing everything together. This is super useful for capturing a full webpage, a set of turn-by-turn directions, or a long restaurant menu. While Samsung phones have had this feature for years, Google started rolling it out natively on Android

Just tap the scroll capture button as many times as you need — it will also stop automatically once you've reached the bottom of the screen. And as soon as you're done you can share, edit, or save the screenshot just like any other.

To save a bit of tapping, you can also hold down on the scrolling button to capture an entire document or page in one fell swoop.

To access your screenshots for later, head to the Samsung Gallery app, which is found inside your launcher's app drawer. Screenshots are saved in the main camera roll, but you can also head to the Album tab and find all of your screenshots in one place inside the Screenshot album.

Being able to take a screenshot can be incredibly useful, whether you’re using it as a reminder of a message or some information, a quick way to save a picture, or a way to illustrate an article such as this one.

But not all phones take screenshots in the same way. In fact, not even all Samsung phones do. But the good news is that capturing a screenshot is always a simple process, so once you know the correct method for your Samsung phone, it will be a breeze.

Below then we’ve detailed all the possible methods of taking a screenshot with a Samsung phone, starting with the most common one.

Quick steps

• Press the power and volume down keys OR
• Press the power and home key OR
• Swipe the edge of your hand across the screen OR
• Use screen write or smart select on the S Pen menu

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung phone in depth

Need more detailed information? Here are all the methods for screenshotting with a Samsung phone, followed by information on scrolling screenshots and how to view and edit your captured image.

Press the power and volume down keys

Many recent Samsung phones – including the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 lines – let you take a screenshot simply by pressing the volume down and power buttons at the same time. In fact, if your phone has both of these buttons then this method should work.

You’ll know a screenshot has been taken as your display will flash, likely accompanied by a sound if you don’t have your phone muted.

If your phone doesn’t have a Bixby button then this should just be a quick tap rather than holding the buttons, as the latter is likely to open the power menu. On handsets with a Bixby button, a longer hold is more likely to get the job done.

Press the power and home key

For Samsung phones with a physical home key under the display, you simply press and hold that button and the power button at the same time to take a screenshot. You can let go when the screen flashes.

This method is mostly used on older Samsung handsets.

Swipe your hand

In addition to pressing one of the button combinations above, many Samsung phones also let you swipe the edge of your hand across the screen (from left to right) to take a screenshot.

As with other methods your screen will flash when the screenshot has taken, and in theory this could be the fastest and slickest way to take a screenshot – except in practice we find it a bit hit and miss, so it might take a while to consistently get the technique right.

You may also need to enable this gesture control before you can use it. To do that, head to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures, then tap the toggle next to ‘Palm swipe to capture.’

Use the S Pen

As well as one or more of the methods above, owners of Samsung phones with S Pens – such as the Galaxy Note line and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – can use their stylus to take a screenshot.

There are two ways to do this. One is to remove the S Pen from its holder, then open the S Pen menu and tap ‘smart select.’ Then simply select the part of the screen that you want to capture.

The other method is to tap ‘screen write’ in the S Pen menu, and then select the part of the screen you want to capture.

These methods are handy if you don’t want to capture the whole screen.

How to take a scrolling screenshot

If you want to capture more than one full screen of information, then you’ll need a scrolling screenshot. To take one of these, use one of the button or gesture methods above, then notice the icons that briefly appear at the bottom of the display when the screenshot is taken.

One of these should be a picture of two downward arrows in a box – it may also say ‘scroll capture.’ Tap this, and your screen shot will scroll down to capture more of the page. If you still need to capture more then just keep tapping it until you’ve got everything you need. If that icon doesn’t appear then you’ve likely captured everything already.

How to view and edit screenshots

When you take a screenshot, you’ll see a number of icons briefly appear at the bottom of the display, along with a thumbnail of the screenshot itself. Tap the thumbnail to open it – or just head to the gallery app.

To edit, hit the edit button or pencil icon while viewing the screenshot, or - if you want to annotate it - hit the icon that looks like a pencil next to a square that appears when you take a screenshot.

Being able to take a screenshot can be incredibly useful, whether you’re using it as a reminder of a message or some information, a quick way to save a picture, or a way to illustrate an article such as this one.

But not all phones take screenshots in the same way. In fact, not even all Samsung phones do. But the good news is that capturing a screenshot is always a simple process, so once you know the correct method for your Samsung phone, it will be a breeze.

Below then we’ve detailed all the possible methods of taking a screenshot with a Samsung phone, starting with the most common one.

Quick steps

• Press the power and volume down keys OR
• Press the power and home key OR
• Swipe the edge of your hand across the screen OR
• Use screen write or smart select on the S Pen menu

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung phone in depth

Need more detailed information? Here are all the methods for screenshotting with a Samsung phone, followed by information on scrolling screenshots and how to view and edit your captured image.

Press the power and volume down keys

Many recent Samsung phones – including the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 lines – let you take a screenshot simply by pressing the volume down and power buttons at the same time. In fact, if your phone has both of these buttons then this method should work.

You’ll know a screenshot has been taken as your display will flash, likely accompanied by a sound if you don’t have your phone muted.

If your phone doesn’t have a Bixby button then this should just be a quick tap rather than holding the buttons, as the latter is likely to open the power menu. On handsets with a Bixby button, a longer hold is more likely to get the job done.

Press the power and home key

For Samsung phones with a physical home key under the display, you simply press and hold that button and the power button at the same time to take a screenshot. You can let go when the screen flashes.

This method is mostly used on older Samsung handsets.

Swipe your hand

In addition to pressing one of the button combinations above, many Samsung phones also let you swipe the edge of your hand across the screen (from left to right) to take a screenshot.

As with other methods your screen will flash when the screenshot has taken, and in theory this could be the fastest and slickest way to take a screenshot – except in practice we find it a bit hit and miss, so it might take a while to consistently get the technique right.

You may also need to enable this gesture control before you can use it. To do that, head to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures, then tap the toggle next to ‘Palm swipe to capture.’

Use the S Pen

As well as one or more of the methods above, owners of Samsung phones with S Pens – such as the Galaxy Note line and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – can use their stylus to take a screenshot.

There are two ways to do this. One is to remove the S Pen from its holder, then open the S Pen menu and tap ‘smart select.’ Then simply select the part of the screen that you want to capture.

The other method is to tap ‘screen write’ in the S Pen menu, and then select the part of the screen you want to capture.

These methods are handy if you don’t want to capture the whole screen.

How to take a scrolling screenshot

If you want to capture more than one full screen of information, then you’ll need a scrolling screenshot. To take one of these, use one of the button or gesture methods above, then notice the icons that briefly appear at the bottom of the display when the screenshot is taken.

One of these should be a picture of two downward arrows in a box – it may also say ‘scroll capture.’ Tap this, and your screen shot will scroll down to capture more of the page. If you still need to capture more then just keep tapping it until you’ve got everything you need. If that icon doesn’t appear then you’ve likely captured everything already.

How to view and edit screenshots

When you take a screenshot, you’ll see a number of icons briefly appear at the bottom of the display, along with a thumbnail of the screenshot itself. Tap the thumbnail to open it – or just head to the gallery app.

To edit, hit the edit button or pencil icon while viewing the screenshot, or - if you want to annotate it - hit the icon that looks like a pencil next to a square that appears when you take a screenshot.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, you have many methods at your disposal, like pressing buttons or swiping across the screen. We're going to detail how to screenshot on a Samsung tablet and phone.

1. Press the Power and Volume Down Buttons

For most, this will be the easiest way to take a screenshot on a Samsung phone or tablet.

Simply hold down the Power button (or Side key) and the Volume down button simultaneously.

The exact location of these buttons will depend on your device. On the Samsung Galaxy S21, both of those buttons are on the right side of the device. On the Samsung Galaxy S8, volume is on the left and power is on the right.

You only need to hold these buttons for a second or two. The screen will flash white to indicate a screenshot has been taken.

This is a standard Android screenshot shortcut that will work on more than just Samsung devices.

2. Use Palm Swipe

On some Samsung devices, you can swipe your palm across the screen to take a screenshot.

To enable this, go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Palm swipe to capture > On.

Now, swipe the edge of your hand across the screen from right to left to take a screenshot.

If you're unsure of the exact motion, the Settings screen will show you an animation that demonstrates.

3. Ask Bixby or Google Assistant

If you have a voice-activated virtual assistant set up on your phone, you can use it to take a screenshot.

If you have Bixby Voice, say "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot". Alternatively, if you have Google Assistant, say "Hey Google, take a screenshot".

You can pair these commands with other instructions, like "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot and share on Instagram".

It's surprising how often you need to take a screenshot on your phone. Whether it's to capture a social media post, the winning screen in a game, or just a funny meme, knowing how to take screenshots is vital.

Luckily, Samsung's Galaxy phones and tablets offer a variety of ways to take screenshots using the touchscreen, the buttons on the side, and even the S Pen.

Here's how to take screenshots on your Samsung Galaxy, whether it be a Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, or even a Galaxy Flip.

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy using buttons

The easiest way to take a screenshot — which nearly every modern Android phone shares — is to use the Power and Volume Down buttons.

1. Set up the screen the way you want to capture it.

2. Press the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously, and hold them for a second until the screenshot is taken. You'll see the screen flash and shrink slightly.

3. The screenshot toolstrip will appear at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. You can use the tools here to edit the image, but if you just wait a few moments, the screenshot will slide off-screen and save to your photos app.

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy using Palm Swipe

Samsung Galaxy phones are famous for their slightly curved screens. This special screen allows you to perform common actions with just hand gestures — for example, taking screenshots.

This feature, called "Palm Swipe," should be turned on by default. But you can check by going to the Settings app:

1. Open the Settings app and tap Advanced features.

2. Select Motions and gestures, and then make sure that Palm swipe to capture is toggled on.

Once enabled, you can take a screenshot with the side of your palm.

1. Put the content that you want to screenshot on the screen.

2. Place the edge of your palm on the edge of the device's screen, so your pinkie is pointing down the long side of the phone.

3. In one smooth motion, slide your palm across the phone. You can do this in either direction — right-to-left or left-to-right.

You'll see the screen flash and shrink, indicating the screenshot was successfully captured.

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy using Bixby

Bixby, Samsung's personal assistant (similar to Apple's Siri), can take a screenshot on your behalf as well.

Assuming that you've already set Bixby up, here's how to use it:

1. Set up your screen with the content you want to screenshot.

2. Say, "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot."

Bixby will take a screenshot and save the image in the Gallery.

How to screenshot part of your Galaxy's screen using Smart Select

If you only want to screenshot a specific part of your screen, rather than the entire thing, you can use the Smart Select feature. This lets you crop your screenshot before you take it, making sure that you only capture what's important.

To use Smart Select, you'll need to enable the Edge Panel feature.

1. Open the Settings app and tap Display, and then Edge screen.

2. Tap Edge panels to see all the available panel options.

3. The first one, Apps edge, is probably enabled already. Tap Smart select to turn it on too.

At some point, you’ll want to take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20, whether you want to record what you’re doing in an app, a game, or on your home screen.

You can access your screenshots in the Samsung gallery.

How to Take a Screenshot on S20 With a Palm Swipe

Taking a screenshot with the palm swipe gesture will take some practice, but once you get used to it, it’s also a fairly easy way to capture what’s on the screen.

Before you can use the gesture, however, you’ll need to double-check it’s enabled in the Samsung settings.

How to Enable the Palm Swipe Mode

To enable the palm gesture function:

1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Features.
   

2. Tap Motion and Gestures.

If it worked you will see a snapshot animation on your screen, which will show for a second or two and then go away.

How to Take a Screenshot on S20 With Smart Capture

Smart Capture can be used to capture a huge wall of text or content, usually on a website. As the image is captured you can scroll down, creating a panoramic-style shot.

First, you’ll need to make sure the function is enabled.

How to Enable Smart Select on Galaxy S20

Here’s how to turn on the Samsung Smart Select function:

Thanks for letting us know!

Whether you're trying to save a bit of information for later or want to share something you came across, it's hard to find a more useful feature on our smartphone these days than the ability to take a screenshot. Thankfully, most Android manufacturers have standardized this process, so learning how to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy phone should be a piece of cake. Don't believe me? I'll show you how below.

How to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy S or Note phone

There are a bunch of ways to take a screenshot with a Samsung phone; one is pretty obvious and the other two ways a little less so. We'll walk you through all three of these methods below.

Note: These methods apply to most Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the Galaxy S and now-defunct Note lines, along with most modern Galaxy A models from the last four years. If your phone is over four years old, it may only support the below key combination screenshot method, and not the other two.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using a key combination

Like most Android smartphones, taking a quick screenshot on a Samsung phone combines the power button and the volume button in a quick gesture that may take some getting used to. But once you've mastered it, you'll never miss it again.

1. Open the content you want to screenshot.
2. At the same time, press the power and volume down buttons for one second, and release them.
3. Note that if you hold the buttons more than a second, your phone will either launch a long-press action with the power button or adjust the volume down. You only need to hold the buttons for a second to take a screenshot.
4. The screenshot will be immediately shareable from the bottom bar that pops on screen (far right button), or you can access it from the notification shade instead.
5. You can also jump into an editing mode by using the center button. This lets you crop and draw on the screenshot before sharing or saving.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using a palm swipe

1. Open the content to screenshot.
2. Place your hand vertically on the left or right edge of the phone, and swipe it across the screen, while keeping your hand in contact with the screen, in one motion.
3. If this method doesn't work, go into Settings, Advanced features, Motions and gestures and make sure Palm swipe to capture is turned on.
4. The screenshot will be saved, shareable, and editable in the exact same way from either the on-screen toolbar or the notification shade.

How to screenshot on a Samsung phone using Bixby Voice

Bixby Voice can be used to take a screenshot if you're unable to grab your phone to use the buttons or palm swipe.

1. Open the content to screenshot.
2. By default, a long-press of the button will launch Bixby Voice, after you've opened it once.
3. With the interface activated, say "take a screenshot."
4. With the Bixby method, you miss out on the instant edit capabilities of the other methods. You can, however, string together commands such as "take a screenshot and share it to Twitter" if you want to get elaborate.

Capture more with "scroll capture"

No matter how you start your screenshot, after capturing you'll see a set of options at the bottom of the screen, including "screen capture." This button — on the left side, a box with down-facing arrows in it — makes the phone scroll through the content on the screen and take multiple screenshots, which are then stitched together into one tall screenshot showing everything together. This is super useful for capturing a full webpage, a set of turn-by-turn directions, or a long restaurant menu. While Samsung phones have had this feature for years, Google started rolling it out natively on Android

Just tap the scroll capture button as many times as you need — it will also stop automatically once you've reached the bottom of the screen. And as soon as you're done you can share, edit, or save the screenshot just like any other.

To save a bit of tapping, you can also hold down on the scrolling button to capture an entire document or page in one fell swoop.

To access your screenshots for later, head to the Samsung Gallery app, which is found inside your launcher's app drawer. Screenshots are saved in the main camera roll, but you can also head to the Album tab and find all of your screenshots in one place inside the Screenshot album.
