iPad Screenshots and Screen Recordings: A 2025 How-To

The newest iPadOS offers multiple no-button options for capturing and managing your screen.

Overview

  • On models without a Home button, press the Top and Volume Up (or Down) buttons together, then release to take a screenshot.
  • On models with a Home button, press the Top and Home buttons together, then release to capture the screen.
  • To use gestures, enable Swipe Finger From Corner in Settings > Multitasking & Gestures and assign a corner to Screenshot, including Apple Pencil swipes.
  • After capturing, tap the bottom-left thumbnail to annotate or share, or choose Full Page in Safari to save a PDF.
  • Add Screen Recording to Control Center to start after a three-second countdown, and find screenshots in Photos > Albums > Screenshots or use AssistiveTouch for on-screen capture.
