    On all Samsung tablets, pressing and holding the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time will prompt your tablet to take a screenshot after a second. [1]
    • On Samsung tablets which have physical Home buttons, you can also hold down Power and Home to take a screenshot. [2]

    You'll find the Power button at the top of the right side of the tablet's housing, and the Volume Down button will be the bottom button in the "Volume" group of buttons on the right side of your tablet. [3]
    • If you have a tablet that has a physical Home button, it will be at the bottom of the screen.

    On some Samsung Galaxy tablets, you can enable a setting which allows you to take a screenshot by swiping the edge of your hand from right to left across the screen. This feature isn't available on every Samsung tablet, and you can't use it when your tablet's on-screen keyboard is displaying.

    This is on the left side of the screen. The Advanced Features menu will open on the right side of the screen.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/01\/Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-11-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-11-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/01\/Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-11-Version-2.jpg\/aid6606916-v4-728px-Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-11-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    It's on the right side of the screen. The switch should turn blue, signifying that you'll be able to use a palm swipe to take a screenshot from now on. [7]
    • If this switch is blue, the "Palm swipe to capture" feature is already enabled.
    • If you can't find the "Palm swipe to capture" option, your Samsung tablet can't use this feature to take screenshots. Try using your tablet's buttons instead.

    You can use either hand, but you must place the pinky finger edge of your hand on the far-right side of the screen. [8]
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-15.jpg\/v4-460px-Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-15.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-15.jpg\/aid6606916-v4-728px-Screenshot-on-a-Samsung-Tablet-Step-15.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Doing so will cause your tablet to take a screenshot; you'll know a screenshot has been taken when the screen zooms out slightly. [9]
    • Your tablet may also vibrate or make a confirmation chime.
