# Capture a Screenshot
### Overview
The screenshot capture feature allows users to take screenshots in different ways to suit their needs. Users can capture a specific region, full screen, a selected window, or a fixed region, as well as even capture a vertical scroll region.
***
### **Capture Region**
This option allows users to capture a specific part of the screen. Users can manually select the area to capture by clicking and dragging to define the region. This feature is great for when users only need to capture a section of the screen without the rest.
The dimensions of the capture in pixels will be displayed on two sides and at the center of the drag region.
***
### **Capture Window**
To capture an active window, use the **Capture Window** feature. This allows users to select a window from a list of currently open windows and capture it.
***
### **Capture Full Screen**
For a full-screen screenshot, select **Capture Full Screen**. This will capture everything on the users screen; capturing the entire workspace.
For users with a multiple-monitor setup, a window will appear prompting the user to choose which screen they wish to capture.
***
### **Capture a Fixed Region**
This feature allows users to capture a specific fixed region of their screen. The dimensions of the capture area will be displayed along two sides, while the center will show instructions to double-click the capture region when ready to take the screenshot. The field can be clicked and dragged across the screen to position it as needed.
The default sizes available are:
* **1024 x 768**
* **1280 x 1024**
* **1680 x 1050**
* **1920 x 1080**
Users can also choose to create a Custom Fixed Region to add to the list. By defining a specific area, they ensure that the same portion of the screen is captured each time, maintaining consistency across screenshots.
***
### **Capture a Vertical Scroll Region**
The Vertical Scroll Screen Capture feature allows users to capture an extended view of scrolling content, such as documents, PDFs, or web pages, and compile it into a single image. This is ideal for scenarios where a standard screenshot would only capture the visible portion of the screen.
**To Use:**
Select the **'Capture a Vertical Scroll Region'** option from the capture dropdown menu.
Use the mouse to drag and select the area you want to capture, then release.
Press the **Enter** key to stop capturing once the desired content has been scrolled through. Alternatively, the screen capture will automatically stop when the end of the scroll bar is reached for the current page.
The result will be a fully captured single image of the selected scroll region.
Apply any annotation functions to the captured image as needed.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Animations on the screen are not supported during capture.
Repeated or static elements across pages may not render correctly in the final image.
{% endhint %}
***
Once a screenshot is captured, users will be navigated to the [screenshot editor](https://guides.mangoapps.com/recorder-guide/capture/edit-a-screenshot) menu.
