Capturing those crucial moments, showcasing your new skin, or simply capturing a funny in-game moment—taking screenshots in VALORANT is extremely valuable. Unfortunately, VALORANT itself does not come with a built-in screenshot tool, leading players to search for a convenient way to capture these memorable moments online. If you find yourself in the same boat, you’ve come to the right place as we’ll guide you through some easy methods to take screenshots in VALORANT on Windows.

With the majority of VALORANT players using Windows PC for their gaming needs, here’s how you can capture screenshots on this platform. While there are several ways to take screenshots in the Windows operating system, here are some of the most convenient and easy-to-use methods:
Using the Print Screen Key (PrtScn)
Many gamers overlook the Print Screen key on their keyboards, but it can actually be quite handy for quickly taking screenshots. Simply press the PrtScn key on your keyboard to capture your VALORANT moment to the clipboard. After the game ends, you can paste the screenshot into applications like Microsoft Word, Picture Manager, Photoshop, etc., to save it. If you want to save the screenshot immediately after capturing it, just press CTRL + PrtScn and it will be saved as a PNG file in the Documents folder.
Windows Game Bar
The Windows Game Bar feature allows you to take screenshots while playing VALORANT on Windows. Press Win + G to bring up the Game Bar, then click the camera icon or press Win + Alt + PrtScn to capture a screenshot. The benefit of this method is that it automatically saves your screenshot to the Videos > Captures folder on your PC, eliminating the need for additional steps.
GPU Software
Another convenient method is using your GPU software, such as NVIDIA GeForce Experience or AMD Graphics Radeon. The advantage here is the ability to customize the keybind for taking screenshots. For example, we use the Capslock key to take screenshots on Windows while playing VALORANT, a feature not available in the previously mentioned methods.
