A screenshot is a digital image of what is displayed on a computer or mobile device screen at a specific moment. It functions like a photograph of the screen, capturing everything from icons and programs to entire web pages, and can be saved as an image file (like a JPEG). Screenshots are useful for documentation, providing feedback, troubleshooting problems, and visually communicating information without the need for lengthy descriptions.

How screenshots are used

Documentation: To record information or demonstrate how to use a piece of software.

Collaboration and feedback: To quickly show a coworker a webpage, a design, or an error message for review.

Troubleshooting: To provide a visual record of a problem for technical support.
