You can capture what’s on your iPad screen, grab a full page beyond the edge of the screen, or save a specific portion. After you take a screenshot, you can crop it, annotate it with the Markup tools, or capture an entire webpage in Safari. Your screenshots are saved to your photo library automatically.
