An image taken of the current content on a screen. Screenshots are used to capture and share visual information displayed on a device, such as a webpage or document.

A screenshot captures the current state of a screen and is often used for documentation or communication. For accessibility, screenshots help users who might struggle with text-heavy instructions by providing visual guidance. Practically, they are a quick and effective way to share information, but from a harm reduction perspective, users need to be cautious about sharing sensitive data through screenshots. In data stewardship, it’s important to store and share screenshots responsibly, especially when they contain personal or confidential information.
