The Moto Pad 70 is Motorola’s 12.1-inch tablet, launched in August 2026 with a 2.5K screen, a 10,200mAh battery, Android 16 and the Moto Pen in the box. On a screen this big, the three-finger gesture and the pen make screenshots easier than on a phone. Here’s every method.

Method 1: Power + Volume Down Buttons

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
  3. Let go when the screen flashes.
  4. Tap the preview to edit or share, or let it save on its own.

Tip: In landscape, the buttons move position relative to you. Hold the tablet with both hands and press with your index fingers.

Method 2: Three-Finger Touch and Hold

The easiest method on a 12-inch tablet. No buttons to find.

  1. Touch and hold the screen with three fingers until it captures.

Turn it on: Go to Settings > Gestures > Three-finger screenshot and turn it on.

Tip: Drawing and note apps use multi-finger touches. In the Three-finger screenshot settings, tap the edit icon and exclude those apps so you don’t take screenshots by accident while sketching with the Moto Pen.

Method 3: Quick Settings Tile

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen.
  2. Tap the screenshot tile.

Method 4: From Recent Apps

  1. Swipe up from the bottom and hold to open recent apps.
  2. Pick the app you want.
  3. Tap the screenshot icon.

Method 5: Use Your Voice

Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot.” This is handy when the tablet is on a stand and your hands are free.

Method 6: Scrolling Screenshot

  1. Take a screenshot on a page that scrolls.
  2. Tap the long-capture icon in the preview.
  3. Tap STOP when you’ve captured enough.

Screenshot Two Apps in Split Screen

When you use two apps side by side on the Moto Pad 70, any screenshot method captures both apps in one image. To capture just one app, take the screenshot, tap the preview and use Crop to keep only the side you need.

Mark Up Screenshots with the Moto Pen

The Moto Pad 70 comes with the Moto Pen, which has 4,096 pressure levels and palm rejection. That makes it great for marking up screenshots:

  1. Take a screenshot.
  2. Tap the preview to open the editor.
  3. Choose Draw or Highlight and write directly on the screenshot with the pen.
  4. Use Mosaic to blur private details, then tap Save.
