Copy Screen as Gif image ...

[Guest]

Hi folks ... happily running XP Pro am familiar with copy/print Screen
into say a Word/Excel doc/spreadsheet.

Have seen print screen done as a gif file posted on a website and
for the life of me am unable to work out how to do this.

Could any kind soul show me how print screen as a gif (or jpeg) image file?

Thank in advance ...

Paste it into any graphics program that will create a gif or jpeg,
e.g. IrfanView - Freeware Graphic Viewer:

After you hit PrtScrn, go to Paint via Start --> Programs --> Accessories and
then hit CTRL+V. Then go to File --> Save As, click the down arrow where it
says "Save As Type" and then choose the format you want to save it as i.e.
jpg, gif, png etc.

Save it into Paint and you should be able to save it as a GIF.

My colleges uses an app called "Print Key 2000" which i find annoying as
hell, but you may find it does what you need.

Use Irfanview to change lots of formats to lots of other formats.
