1. On any screen, press <kbd>Fn</kbd> + <kbd>p</kbd>. A [Toast](/guide/basics/#toasts) says "Screenshot saved in /screenshots". The Toast itself is never in the picture; a dialog or the help panel that is open is.
2. **To look at it on the device:** open **Storage**, go into `screenshots` and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> on the file. <kbd>Enter</kbd> again shows it at its own size.
3. **To get it out:** in Storage press <kbd>w</kbd> and [open the card in your phone's browser](/howto/phone-files/); the pictures are in `screenshots`.

## Good to know

- It needs an SD card.
- The files are PNGs of 240 by 135 pixels, named by date and time.
- **It refuses on Settings → Debug Console**, the page that shows the console's token: a picture of it would be a copy of the token.
- From the [Shell](/guide/shell/), `screenshot 5` takes the picture five seconds later, for a screen you can't press keys on.
