Did you know there are multiple ways to take a screenshot on a Samsung S23 or S23 Ultra? Read on to learn the different methods to take screenshots easily on a phone or tablet.

Quickly and Easily Take Screenshots on Samsung Galaxy S23/S23 Ultra

Using Button Combinations

Press the Volume Down and Power buttons. They are both located on the right side of your phone. The Power button is also known as the Power or Side button.

Release the buttons quickly. Your screen will flash and you'll hear a camera shutter sound if your sound is enabled. You will see a thumbnail of your picture at the bottom of your phone's screen.

Swiping Your Palm

Make sure the gesture is enabled. To do so, go to Settings and search palm swipe to capture. Once there, ensure the toggle is on (blue and pointing to the right).

Move your palm from right to left over your phone. Your palm should be in a karate-chop position with your pinky facing down towards the phone's screen as you swipe from the right side of the screen to the left. The screen will flash once to indicate that it has captured the screen.

Find your screenshot. A window will pop up at the bottom of the screen that you can tap to see your screen capture. You'll also find editing tools, so you can edit it lightly. If the popup closed before you had a chance to tap it and open your screenshot, you'll be able to find it in your gallery. Just open the Gallery app and the screenshot will be displayed there so you can edit or share it.

Using Voice Commands

Make sure you have Bixby Voice or Google Assistant set up. You can start Bixby and set up the voice assistant's features by pressing the Side button. If the functionality of the Side button was changed, find and change the Side button again to summon Bixby so you can set it up. Go to Settings > Advanced features > Side key to return the Bixby functionality of the Side button. If you prefer to use Google Assistant, open the Google app and enable "Hey Google" in your settings.

Say "Hey Bixby" or "Hey Google" and "Take a screenshot." The screen will flash when it has captured what's on the screen.

Using the S Pen

Remove the pen from the bottom of your phone. If you have an S23 Ultra, you have the S Pen stylus to write, draw, and control your phone without your finger.

Press and hold the button on the pen and tap the pen to the phone's screen. The screen will flash once to indicate that it has captured the screen.

Using Smart Select

Open Smart Select. Swipe down from the top of your screen and select Smart Select from the Quick Settings panel or remove your S Pen to open the Air Command menu and choose Smart Select.

Tap a Smart Select tool. Use Rectangle, Lasso, Oval, or GIF to capture your entire screen or only a portion. You can also use Smart Select's GIF option to capture a video of what's on your screen!

Drag your S Pen over your screen to select the area to capture. You can extract text, draw, or immediately share your selection. You can find this image again later in your Gallery.

Capturing a Long Screenshot

Take a screenshot. Use any of the methods described above to capture the screen. This is how you can take a screenshot of an entire website instead of only what's on your screen.

Tap and hold the Scroll Capture icon. It's in the menu that pops up after you take a screenshot and immediately bounces up and down once. The Scroll Capture icon looks like a chevron pattern (or an arrowhead pointing downwards.

Hold the Scroll Capture icon until you've screenshotted everything. You can hold the Scroll Capture icon until your phone captures the entire page of a web browser, or you can hold it down as long as you want to.

Find your screenshot. You'll be able to find it in your gallery. Just open the Gallery app and the screenshot will be displayed there so you can edit or share it.
