# Screenshots
In [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/), you can take _screenshots_ of the entire screen, the selected area, or the entire web page, edit the image, and add arrows and text to it. You can send a screenshot to your friends or to support.
## Take screenshot {#to-do-screenshot}
On the [side panel](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/personalization/sidebar.md), click  and choose the option:
- **Selected area** to take a screenshot of a part of the screen. Select the area by pressing and holding the left mouse button. The area size (in pixels) will be displayed in the right part at the bottom of the screen.
- **Full screen** to take a screenshot of the entire computer screen.
- **Web page** to take a screenshot of the entire page of the site.
After selecting the area, a window for editing the screenshot will open. In it, you can edit and save the image. If you don't want to save the screenshot, close the window and select **Don't save** in the message that appears.
## Edit screenshot {#to-edit-screenshot}
You can crop a screenshot you took, draw shapes or arrows on it, mark it with a marker, add text, or blur parts of the image.
The command buttons are on the top panel of the editing window:
- **Arrows**: Choose their type, thickness, and color. Draw using the pointer while holding the left mouse button.
- **Text**: Select font, text color, and background type. Left-click the area where you want to place the text and type it. To change the size of the text you added to the screenshot, click on the free area, and a frame will appear around the text. Pull one of its corners.
- **Shapes**: Choose the type, thickness, and color. Draw using the pointer while holding the left mouse button.
- **Marker**: Choose the marker's thickness and color and draw a line with the pointer while holding the left mouse button.
- **Blur**: Select the area by pressing and holding the left mouse button. Use this feature to hide part of the image. For example, a person's face or personal information.
- **Crop**: Select the new borders of the image by holding down the left mouse button.
- **Settings**: Update the [keyboard shortcuts](#screenshot-hotkeys) or [disable](#screenshot-on-off) taking screenshots.
