Everyone must have heard at least once, and they probably know what a screenshot is. But still in this article we mention what it is. A screenshot is a screenshot taken at a particular point in time, i.e. this is what your monitor is currently displaying. Today, screenshots are very popular, because with their help you can capture important information, just by clicking a certain combination of buttons. A similar function is possessed not only by personal computers and laptops, but also various smartphones and tablets. In this article, we will consider the well-known device - the iPad, and to be more precise, we will learn how to take a screenshot on the iPad.
iPad, or Apple Product Features
The well-known fact is that Apple products have not only distinctive, but also functional features in comparison with other electronic equipment. Many who are not personally acquainted with the product, consider it very difficult and inaccessible to use, but this is not so. Some things in Apple are much easier to do than on other devices, for example, making a screenshot on the iPad is very simple and affordable, but many simply don’t even know about this device’s function.
Step-by-step instruction: how to take a screenshot on the iPad. Method one
- First, pick up the iPad itself.
- We open the necessary place for a screenshot.
- At the same time, we press two buttons: Home (the round button at the bottom of the screen) and the power button. When the screenshot on the iPad is completed, you will understand this thanks to the flash and sound, as on the camera.
- You can view a photo taken using the screenshot function in the “Photos” and “Photostream” folders.
Well, here we answered the question of how to take a screenshot on the iPad. However, it should be noted that all screenshots taken on the iPad are saved in PNG format. Saving photos is automatic. The saved image will have all the properties that the rest of the photographs and drawings. The size and volume of the image can be different, but they vary within certain limits: from one hundred and ten kilobytes to one megabyte.
Second way
It is possible that what we are describing is not in different ways how to take a screenshot on the iPad, but we decided to select them each separately. The second method, in principle, is almost no different from the first method, they differ in one small performed action. So, we repeat the instructions again, but with the changes from the second method.
- We start with the same thing - pick up the iPad itself.
- We open a place for a screenshot.
- First, press and hold the Home button (we remember that this is a round button at the bottom of the screen), and then abruptly and with one click touch the power button. When the screenshot on the iPad is completed, you will understand this thanks to the flash and sound, as on the camera. Everything, as in the previously described example.
- You can view the photo taken using the screenshot function in the same place - in the “Photos” and “Photo Stream” folders.
As you must have noticed, the first and second methods differ from each other only in the third paragraph and in the technique of pressing the buttons.
Stereotype
Many people still think that a screenshot can only be taken from a browser page, that is, only an Internet page can be photographed. So, I would like to completely refute such an opinion, since a screenshot can be taken from anything: a game, calendar, message, browser, etc. After all, it is called a screenshot of the screen, i.e., everything that is captured on the screen.
We hope that our article will be useful for you, and we were able to explain in detail how to take a screenshot on the iPad.
By the way, it is the screen that is one of the strengths of this device. Therefore, what is depicted on it is worthy of a picture!
