How to take a screenshot in Yandex browser

Using a standard Windows function. Although the method does not require the use of additional programs, it is the most inconvenient to implement;
Through extensions. The fastest and most accessible method, you only need to install the add-on, it will take less than a minute;

Using programs. Among other methods, this is the most functional; with the help of applications we can take screenshots in all programs. To use it you will have to install a special utility.

How to create a screenshot of a Yandex browser page using built-in Windows tools

The classic method is to take a photo of the screen using the Print Screen (Prt sc) button. It is located directly on the keyboard, usually to the right of F12.

Advantages of the method:

There is no need to install anything;
The screenshot captures the entire website page in the Yandex browser at once.

Flaws:

You will have to perform a lot of unnecessary actions: launch a graphic editor, insert an image, save it;
There is no function for automatically uploading a screenshot to the server. You will have to manually upload the screenshot to the server;
To cut out a separate fragment of a screenshot, you will have to use an image editor.

The process of taking a screenshot:

We prepare everything necessary for the screen: open the page, scroll through it to the desired place and select the fragment on which you want to focus.
Click on the Print Screen button.
Enter the word “Paint” into the Windows search, then open the program of the same name.
Click on the “Insert” button.
Click on the “File” menu item and select “Save”.
We indicate the location to save, the name and extension of the final file.

By default, a screenshot includes the entire screen, but with Paint we can cut out a separate part of it, set marks, instructions, or otherwise edit the screenshot. If you want to share a finished screenshot, you will have to look for free image hosting sites and manually upload the image there. When it loads, copy the page URL and send it to your interlocutor.

How to get a screenshot in Yandex browser using an extension

Plugins allow you to take a screenshot in the Yandex browser in a few clicks. Due to the ease of taking pictures, many users use this method.

Advantages of the method:

Large selection of extensions;
Ability to configure instant uploading of screenshots to the server;
We can take a picture of any fragment of the page;
More useful functions for creating screenshots and flexible settings;
There is a built-in screenshot editor for making basic changes.

This method has several disadvantages:

It is impossible to take a screenshot in other applications;
You need to install the extension.

There are a lot of extensions that allow you to take a screenshot in the Yandex browser. There is no point in considering all plugins; we will pay attention only to the best.

The best add-ons for taking screenshots in the Yandex browser:

Joxi. It has a simple interface in which we can choose to create a screenshot of the entire page or a fragment of it. The extension fully fulfills its assigned tasks. Both the plus and minus of the plugin is that it only works over the network. All screenshots are immediately uploaded to the server, but to do this you will first have to log into your own account. We can log in through social networks. The extension also has a built-in photo editor. A small drawback of the plugin is that you can take and upload 1 GB of screenshots. True, it is not easy to exhaust this limit;
Fireshot. Quite a simple and functional extension. After installing it, all you have to do is click on the plugin image and select the type of screenshot: visible area, entire page or screen fragment. If you select Capture Full Page, the extension automatically scrolls the entire web page and takes a snapshot of it. By clicking on the “Capture visible area” button, you will be able to capture only the fragment of the page that is currently visible on the screen. The “Capture Region” button is responsible for creating a screenshot from part of the page;
Nimbus. Another good application that allows you to do everything that Fireshot does. The Nimbus add-on has even more features. Additional features include: creating a fragment with the ability to scroll the page, a snapshot of the entire screen, a screenshot with a timer, a form for uploading your own pictures, etc.;
Screenshot Extension. In addition to the standard functions for creating screenshots, there is the ability to take a screenshot from a webcam.

The principle of operation of all extensions is approximately identical: click on the plugin image, indicate the type of screen creation and select where to save it.

We recommend choosing an extension based on the usability of the interface and the availability of suitable functions.

FireShot achieved this by meeting all the necessary expectations of the average user of such extensions. If we are not talking about more professional editing (as is the case with Screenshot Extension), then users most often need to quickly and easily create a screenshot from the browser and send it in a message to any social network.
