Take Screenshots From Your Tkinter App – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial 199

In this video I’ll show you how to take screenshots from your Tkinter app.

We’ll use the mss library to do the heavy lifting here and take the screenshots.

You can set different monitors you would like to take screenshots from if you have more than one.

Python Code: shot.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
from mss import mss

root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - Screen Shot')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("500x200")

def shot():
	with mss() as sct:
		# Designate the filename
		filename = sct.shot(mon=2, output="output.png")	

		# Confirm message
		my_label.config(text="Screen Shot Has Been Saved!")

my_button = Button(root, text="Take A Screenshot!", font=("Helvetica", 24), command=shot)
my_button.pack(pady=40)

my_label = Label(root, text="")
my_label.pack(pady=10)


root.mainloop()
