How to Easily Take Screenshots in Valorant on Windows 11

Taking screenshots in Valorant on Windows 11 is simple and can be done in a few easy steps. Here’s how you can capture your gameplay:

1. Using the Print Screen key

Full-screen screenshot: Press the PrtScn (Print Screen) key on your keyboard. This will capture everything on your screen, including Valorant. The screenshot gets copied to your clipboard. To save it:
  • Open Paint, by pressing Win + S, type “paint” and press Enter.
  • In Paint, press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot.
  • Save the image by choosing “File” > “Save As”, then choose a location and format.

Only the active window: If you want to capture only the Valorant window, press Alt + PrtScn. This will copy the active window to your clipboard. Open Paint or any other image editor, press Ctrl + V to paste and save the screenshot.

2. Using Snip & Sketch

Press Win + Shift + S. This will dim the screen and show a small menu at the top with capture options:

  • Rectangular Snip: Drag to select a rectangular area.
  • Freeform Snip: Draw any shape you want.
  • Window Snip: Click on the Valorant window to capture it.
  • Full-screen Snip: Capture the entire screen.

Once you take a screenshot, it will be copied to your clipboard. A notification will appear – click on it to open Snip & Sketch. Here, you can annotate and save your screenshot.

3. Using the Xbox Game Bar

  • Press Win + G to open the Xbox Game Bar.

Click the camera icon in the Capture widget to take a screenshot. The image will be saved to the “Captures” folder in your “Videos” library.
