To screenshot Safari while it is beside another app, take a normal iPad screenshot with the hardware buttons. Expect it to capture the screen as displayed, including the neighboring pane; use the preview to crop that pane out if needed. For a long webpage, choose Full Page in the screenshot preview to capture beyond the visible screen.
Take a screenshot in split-screen Safari
- Arrange Safari and the other app as you want them, and scroll the webpage to the position you want to show.
- Quickly press and release the correct buttons together:
- iPad without a Home button: press the top button and either volume button.
- iPad with a Home button: press the top button and the Home button.
- Tap the screenshot preview that appears. Crop or annotate the image as needed. If the other app is visible in the screenshot, crop the image to keep only the Safari area.
- Tap Done or the save control. Screenshots normally save to Photos.
Apple’s screenshot guide describes capturing what is on the iPad screen, and its multitasking guide explains using apps side by side. Together, those instructions support the practical expectation that a normal screenshot includes the visible split-screen workspace. Apple does not give a pane-only screenshot guarantee for every model, iPadOS version, or window arrangement, so inspect the preview and crop if necessary. Apple’s screenshot instructions and iPad multitasking instructions provide the relevant steps.

Capture the whole webpage instead of just the visible screen
For a page that continues below the screen, take a screenshot, tap its preview, then choose Full Page. Apple specifically describes using this option for an entire Safari webpage that exceeds the iPad display. You can scroll through the capture and crop it, then save it as an image in Photos or choose Save PDF to Files. Apple documents the Full Page workflow.
| Capture type | What it captures | Save options |
|---|---|---|
| Standard screenshot | The screen currently displayed; in split-screen, expect the visible workspace rather than Safari alone. | Photos image; crop in the preview to remove the adjacent pane. |
| Full Page | A supported webpage beyond the visible screen, such as a long Safari page. It is not a documented way to isolate Safari’s split-screen pane. | Image in Photos or PDF in Files. |
Other ways to trigger an iPad screenshot
If the buttons are inconvenient, Apple also documents these alternatives: swipe diagonally upward from either lower corner with an Apple Pencil, use AssistiveTouch, or ask Siri to take a screenshot. These are ways to trigger a screenshot, not documented methods for capturing only the Safari pane. An Apple Pencil is optional; it is not needed for the button method. See Apple’s screenshot guide for the available routes.

Common problems and fixes
- The screenshot includes the other app: that is the expected practical result of capturing the displayed workspace. Open the preview and crop to Safari.
- The whole webpage is missing: a standard screenshot captures the currently displayed screen. Use Full Page from the screenshot preview for a supported long Safari webpage.
- You cannot find the saved screenshot: standard screenshots save to Photos by default. A Full Page capture can also be saved as a PDF in Files if you choose Save PDF to Files.
- The button combination does not match your iPad: use top plus a volume button on models without a Home button; use top plus Home on models with one. Press and release quickly.
