What You'll Learn
Taking screenshots on a PC
To take a screenshot on a PC, you can use the Snipping Tool on Windows. First, identify the menu or other components you want to capture. Then, in the Snipping Tool, select Delay and choose the amount of time you want before the screenshot is taken (e.g. 5 seconds). Within the time limit, open the menu or compose your image. When the screen turns grey, use your mouse to draw around the area you want to capture.
Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts to take screenshots. Pressing PrtSc or Print Screen will take a screenshot of the entire screen. If you want to capture only the active window, press Alt + PrtSc. You can also press the Windows logo key + Shift + S to start the screenshot, and then select an area to capture with a click-and-drag action.
Once you've captured your screenshot, you can open it in the Snipping Tool to edit and save it. You can also use the Text actions button to activate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and extract text directly from your image.
After taking your screenshot, you can load it into Animal Jam Paint by following these steps:
- Save your screenshot to your computer as a .jpg or .png file.
- Access the Painting activity in Animal Jam Classic.
- Click on the round button with a file cabinet label located below the canvas along the left side.
- A file dialog will open, allowing you to browse and select your saved screenshot file.
- Make any desired adjustments using the painting tools in Animal Jam.
- Remember that you can only save your artwork as an "ajart" file format if it follows a set of rules set by AJHQ.
- Once you're happy with your artwork, click the "Create Den Item" button to create a Masterpiece item or submit it to AJHQ for approval.

Taking screenshots on a Mac
Animal Jam Classic features a Painting activity that allows players to save their artwork as a file. This can be done by clicking on a round button with a file cabinet label located below the canvas along the left side. This will open a file dialogue and allow players to save their artwork.
To load screenshots into Animal Jam Paint, players can take screenshots on their Mac and save them as image files. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to take screenshots on a Mac:
- Press and hold down the following three keys together: Shift, Command, and 3.
- If you want to capture a specific portion of the screen, press and hold down Shift, Command, and 4. Your pointer will turn into a crosshair, which you can then drag to select the desired area.
- After selecting the area, release the mouse button to capture the screenshot. Alternatively, press the Escape key to cancel the screenshot.
- Once you've taken the screenshot, you'll see a thumbnail appear in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This is called the "floating thumbnail."
- You can use the floating thumbnail to quickly access and edit your screenshot. Drag it into a document, mark it up, or share it before it automatically saves to your specified location.
- If you want to customize your keyboard shortcuts, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Screenshots. Here, you can modify the shortcuts to your preferred key combinations.
Remember that your screenshots will be saved as .PNG or .JPG files on your desktop by default, but you can specify a different location if needed. These image files can then be loaded into Animal Jam Paint by following the game's import process.
