This wikiHow teaches you how to take a picture of your Samsung tablet's on-screen contents. You can take a screenshot by holding down the "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons on virtually any up to date Samsung tablet, or you can use a palm swipe gesture to screenshot on some tablets.

1
Know which buttons to use. On all Samsung tablets, pressing and holding the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time will prompt your tablet to take a screenshot after a second.
- On Samsung tablets which have physical Home buttons, you can also hold down Power and Home to take a screenshot.[1]
2
Locate your tablet's relevant buttons. You'll find the Power button at the top of the right side of the tablet's housing, and the Volume Down button will be the bottom button in the "Volume" group of buttons on the right side of your tablet.
- If you have a tablet that has a physical Home button, it will be at the bottom of the screen.

Go to the item you want to screenshot. Open the app, screen, or page on which you want to take a screenshot.
4
Hold down your tablet's screenshot buttons. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons, and don't release them until prompted.

- Gallery — Open the Gallery photos app, tap the ALBUMS tab, tap the Screenshots album, and tap your screenshot.

Understand when to use this method. On some Samsung Galaxy tablets, you can enable a setting which allows you to take a screenshot by swiping the edge of your hand from right to left across the screen. This feature isn't available on every Samsung tablet, and you can't use it when your tablet's on-screen keyboard is displaying.

6
Go to the item you want to screenshot. Open the app, screen, or page on which you want to take a screenshot.
7
Make sure that your keyboard isn't showing. The "Palm swipe to capture" feature will only work if your tablet's on-screen keyboard isn't active. You can get rid of the keyboard by tapping on a non-text field somewhere on the page.
8
Place the edge of one of your hands on the right side of the screen. You can use either hand, but you must place the pinky finger edge of your hand on the far-right side of the screen.
9
Swipe your hand left at an even speed. Doing so will cause your tablet to take a screenshot; you'll know a screenshot has been taken when the screen zooms out slightly.
