Press Windows + Shift + S to snip a region, or Windows + Print Screen to save the whole screen as a PNG in Pictures\Screenshots.
How do I screenshot a full webpage on Windows?
In Chrome on Windows press F12, then Ctrl + Shift + P, then choose 'Capture full size screenshot'. Extensions such as GoFullPage do the same in one click.
Which Windows screenshot tools have free trials?
Snagit, Camtasia, FastStone Capture and Ashampoo Snap publish trial downloads. Confirm current trial terms on each vendor's site.
