# Gnome Screenshots and Screencasts
Gnome has a build in screenshot and screencast application. You can use following shortcuts to easily use this functionality:
- __PrintScreen__: Take a screenshot of the desktop
- __Alt + PrintScreen__: Take screenshot of the current active window
- __Shift + PrintScreen__: Take a screenshot of an area you select
With all shortcuts the screenshots will end up in the _Pictures_ folder in your home directory. If you don't have a _Pictures_ folder the files will end up in your home folder.
You can also hold down __Ctrl__ with any of the above shortcuts to copy the screenshot image to the clipboard instead of saving it.
To create a screencast of your desktop you can use following shortcuts:
- __Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R__: Start recording
- __Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R__: Stop recording
The video is automatically saved in your _Videos_ folder in your home folder. If you don't have a _Videos_ folder the files will end up in your home folder.
