How do I add text to a screenshot on my computer?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To add text to a screenshot on your computer, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Take a screenshot using the Snip & Sketch tool. This tool is available on Windows 10 and can be accessed by pressing the Windows key + Shift + S. It allows you to capture a specific area of your screen.

2. After taking the screenshot, a small menu will appear at the top of your screen. Click on the […] button to expand the options.

3. From the expanded menu, select the option called “Open with” or “Edit with.” This will open a list of available photo editing apps on your computer.

4. Choose the Paint app from the list. If you have another photo editor app installed, you can select that instead.

5. Once Paint (or your chosen app) is open, you should see your screenshot displayed in the editing window. Look for the text tool, usually represented by an icon with a letter “A” on it.

6. Click on the area of the screenshot where you want to add text. This will create a text box or a cursor, depending on the app you are using.

7. Type in the text you want to add. You can customize the font, size, color, and other formatting options depending on the capabilities of the photo editor you are using.

8. After adding the text, you can save your edited screenshot by clicking on the “File” menu, then selecting “Save” or “Save As.” Choose a suitable file name and location to save your modified screenshot.

By following these steps, you should be able to add text to your screenshot using the Snip & Sketch tool and a photo editing app like Paint. Remember to explore the features of your chosen photo editor to further enhance and customize your screenshot with text.
