How to Capture a Web Page Screenshot in Brave on Windows
Capture a page in Brave with Ctrl+Shift+S, or use Windows Snipping Tool for a region, window, or full-screen snip. Here’s how to choose and troubleshoot each method.
To capture a web page in Brave on Windows, open the page and press Ctrl+Shift+S. Brave staff announced this shortcut with Brave version 1.75.175. If you need to select a specific region, window, or the whole screen using Windows controls, press Windows+Shift+S to open Snipping Tool.
Capture a page with Brave
- Open the page in Brave and navigate to the content you want to capture.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+S.
- Use the screenshot feature that opens in your installed version of Brave to complete the capture.
Brave lists a Screenshot tool in its feature inventory. The sources confirm the shortcut and feature, but do not specify whether the current tool captures only the visible viewport or supports a full scrolling page, nor do they establish whether it copies, saves, or does both with the result. Check the controls in your installed version rather than assuming a particular capture scope or output workflow. Brave’s feature and shortcut information
Capture a region or window with Windows Snipping Tool
- Press Windows+Shift+S.
- Choose the snip mode that fits your goal: rectangular, freeform, window, or full screen.
- Select the area or window, or capture the full screen.
- Open the resulting snip in Snipping Tool to edit, save, or share it.
This is a Windows screen capture workflow, rather than Brave’s browser screenshot feature. Use it when you need to choose a screen region or capture a particular window. Microsoft documents these modes and the editing and saving workflow for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft’s Snipping Tool guide
Which capture method should you use?
| Need | Use | What the sources establish |
|---|---|---|
| Invoke Brave’s browser screenshot feature | Ctrl+Shift+S | Brave staff announced this shortcut for Windows and Linux; Brave lists a Screenshot tool. |
| Select a screen region or use a documented snip mode | Windows+Shift+S | Windows Snipping Tool supports rectangular, freeform, window, and full-screen captures. |
| Capture a full scrolling page in Brave | Check the controls in your installed Brave version | The sources reviewed do not confirm full-page support in the current Screenshot tool. |
If the Brave shortcut does not work
- Check your installed version: the shortcut was announced with Brave v1.75.175. Update Brave if the Screenshot tool or shortcut is missing.
- Check Brave’s menu or shortcut settings: use the options in your installed version to locate the screenshot feature. The current shortcut reference reviewed does not establish that the screenshot shortcut is customizable.
- Try the Windows capture shortcut: Windows+Shift+S opens the Windows snipping overlay and can capture a region or window.
- Need a scrolling capture? Do not assume the Brave tool captures beyond the visible page. Inspect its current controls or use a method that explicitly supports full-page capture.
An older Brave Community support reply describes opening Developer Tools with Ctrl+Shift+P and searching for “shot” to find screenshot commands. That advice predates Brave’s built-in screenshot feature; command names and behavior may differ in current versions, so treat it as an advanced fallback and verify what your version offers.
