How do I take a screenshot on the iPad?

How do I create an image, containing a copy of the current screen display, on the iPad?


Solution 1:

Press both the sleep/wake and the home button simultaneously, and release quickly. The screenshot will be taken (in any app) and saved as an image, available within the Photos app.

Solution 2:

The Apple Pencil is the fastest way to screen shot an iPad since the buttons may be hard to reach. This also plays well into the new markup tools so you can quickly transform / edit and then share out that screen shot.

  • swipe your Apple Pencil from the bottom-corner on either side of your iPad screen to take a screenshot
  • you can also press the sleep/volume up buttons - release them together to snap
  • you can also use accessibility + assistive touch to take a screenshot
