So it’s good to know how to take a screenshot on Galaxy S25 beforehand. We’ll be sharing all the methods you need to know here.

The Galaxy S25 series runs on the Android operating system, which means you won’t be limited to taking screenshots in just one or two ways. You can take a screenshot on the Galaxy S25 in various ways. You can choose to follow the method you prefer. For example, if you prefer not to use gestures, you can use physical button combinations.

Because of both work and personal use, I take screenshots almost every day. While it depends on individual usage, many users may find themselves taking screenshots on a daily basis.

If you’ve used a Galaxy phone in the past year or two, you might already be familiar with some of the methods we’ve mentioned in this guide. However, if you’re new to the Galaxy experience or haven’t used one in a while, make sure to read through all the methods mentioned.

How to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy S25 Series

Simple and Most Used Method

Most devices come with necessary physical buttons such as power and volume buttons. While these buttons have their own specific functions, you can use them in combinations to perform additional tasks. You can also take screenshots using these button combinations.

Here’s how you can use physical buttons on Galaxy S25 to take screenshot.

Open the screen that you want to capture in the screenshot.
Now press the Volume Down and Power buttons together.
A screenshot will be captured that you will see in the animation.
Once the screenshot is captured, you will see several options for different actions like share and edit.

Palm Gesture to Capture Screen

If you prefer gestures, Galaxy phones support a palm swipe gesture by default to take a screenshot. However, I personally find this gesture inconvenient as it is prone to a lot of touches. They could have used a convenient gesture like three-finger swipe or another simple gesture. But, you should still try this method and see if you like this method.

Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S25.
Scroll down and find the Advanced features option. Tap on it.
Next, tap on Motion and gestures.
Here enable the toggle for Palm Swipe to capture.
Once enabled go to the page or screen you want to capture and swipe your palm across the screen. This will capture the screenshot.

You can use apps to enable back tap gesture on your Galaxy S25 and assign it to take a screenshot. Here is the detailed guide you can follow.

Take a Screenshot using Quick Settings

Quick Settings or the Control Center on the Galaxy S25 comes with a cluster of tools including screenshot. It is a convenient method to take a screenshot on Galaxy S25. Here are the steps:

Swipe down from the top right of your screen, then swipe down again to access the Quick Access panel.
Tap on the Edit icon at the top right corner followed by another Edit option.
From several icons, drag the Take Screenshot icon to the top.
Tap on Done to save the changes.
Now whenever you want to take a screenshot, simply pull down the Quick Access panel and tap on the Take Screenshot icon that you’ve just added.

Use Assistant to Take a Screenshot

Samsung phones come with both Bixby assistant and Gemini AI assistant. Using these Assistants you can give voice command to take a screenshot on your Galaxy S25 without even touching the phone.

From the bottom left or right corner of your screen, swipe inwards to launch the Assistant you have selected.
Now you can give command to take a screenshot to Gemini AI or ‘Hi Bixby, take a screenshot’ command to Bixby.
You will see the message when the Screenshot is captured.

Take a Screenshot using Accessibility Menu

The Accessibility menu provides various control options at your fingertips. Among these tools, the screenshot option is also included. By default, the Accessibility menu is disabled, but you can enable it anytime you want. Here’s how to enable the Accessibility menu and take a screenshot using it.

Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S25.
Now, scroll down and tap on the Accessibility option, then go to Interaction and Dexterity.
Turn on the Assistant menu toggle to switch it on. Also, confirm enabling the floating assistant menu icon.
A floating icon will appear on the screen. Tap on it to reveal a list of options.
You will see the Screenshot option. Tap on it to take a screenshot of your Galaxy S25.

Capture Screenshot with S-Pen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with a S-Pen. While this time, the S-Pen lacks Bluetooth capability, you can still use it to take a screenshot on your Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Open the screen you want to capture in a screenshot.
Now, pull out the S Pen from your S25 Ultra.
With the S Pen, tap on the little floating pencil icon to bring a list of options.
Tap on the Screen Write option to capture the screenshot.
You can write anything over the screenshot or, if you don’t want to, you can just leave it as is and tap the Save icon at the bottom. Your screenshot will be saved to your device.

How to Take a Long Screenshot (Scrolling Screenshot)

Long Screenshot, also known as scrolling screenshot, lets you capture more than what’s visible on the screen. Imagine you’re reading an article and want to take a screenshot of the entire content, but it’s not visible on the screen and you need to scroll to see it all. In such cases, you can capture everything in a long screenshot, which is basically a combination of multiple screenshots in one long screenshot. Here’s how it works.

Take a screenshot using any of the above methods and a toolbar will appear alongside the screenshot preview. (Don’t use the Assistant method)
Now, tap on the icon that has two drop-down arrows (it will only appear if the page support long screenshot).
Keep tapping the icon until the screenshot cover the required amount of page you want to capture in the long screenshot.

So these are the ways you can follow to take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S25. Now that you’re aware of all the screenshot methods, you can follow the one that best suits your needs.
