Take Screenshot in Python

This is a very basic yet cool functionality you can implement in python.

Open your Python IDE (PyCharm or any other editor) and start writing the below code

import pyautogui  
def screenshot():
  
    myScreenshot = pyautogui.screenshot()
    myScreenshot.show()
    myScreenshot.save('C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\Test\screenshot1.png')
screenshot()

Firstly, download the pyautogui package and import them in your program. you can use following command to install pyautogui package

pip install pyautogui

Then, we’ll define our function named ‘screenshot’ where our main code exists.

GUI version for this code using Tkinter

import pyautogui
import tkinter as tk

root= tk.Tk()

canvas1 = tk.Canvas(root, width = 300, height = 300)
canvas1.pack()

def takeScreenshot ():
    
    myScreenshot = pyautogui.screenshot()
    myScreenshot.save(r'C:\Users\Ron\Desktop\Test\screenshot2.png')

myButton = tk.Button(text='Take Screenshot', command=takeScreenshot, bg='green',fg='white',font= 10)
canvas1.create_window(150, 150, window=myButton)

root.mainloop()
