Your Creature is looking awesome. Now it's time to save and share it.

There are two options for saving your creature as an image:

  1. Take a screenshot of your creature
  2. Save an image via PowerPoint or Keynote

1. Take a Screenshot of Your Creature

Screenshot or "screen capture" tools are very popular and easy to use. They simply take a digital picture of anything that appears on your computer screen. All you have to do is open the presentation slide and snap a picture of your Creature as a digital image. Below are a few options:

Mac:

Macs come with screen capture tools built-in. To enable the tool, use the keyboard combination below. Once you select an area to capture, the image will be saved to your desktop.

Command + Shift + 4

PC:

Windows also comes with built-in screencapture tools, but I don't recommend them for this situation. Instead, try one of the free tools below for Mac or Windows:

2. Save an image via PowerPoint or Keynote:

Use PowerPoint to save a slide as an image:

  • Open the slide with your Creature
  • Select all the images on the slide at once (CTRL/Command + A)
  • Right-click and select "Save as Picture"
  • Save the image on your computer

Using Keynote to save a slide as an image:

  • Open the slide with your creature
  • Go to File --> Export to--> Image
  • Use Format JPG or PNG and click "Next..."
  • Save the image on your computer

This animation shows you the steps in Keynote:
