Python MSS

from mss import mss

# The simplest use, save a screenshot of the 1st monitor
with mss() as sct:
    sct.shot()

An ultra-fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure python using ctypes.

  • Python 3.9+, PEP8 compliant, no dependency, thread-safe;
  • very basic, it will grab one screenshot by monitor or a screenshot of all monitors and save it to a PNG file;
  • but you can use PIL and benefit from all its formats (or add yours directly);
  • integrate well with Numpy and OpenCV;
  • it could be easily embedded into games and other software which require fast and platform optimized methods to grab screenshots (like AI, Computer Vision);
  • get the source code on GitHub;
  • learn with a bunch of examples;
  • you can report a bug;
  • need some help? Use the tag python-mss on Stack Overflow;
  • and there is a complete, and beautiful, documentation :)
  • MSS stands for Multiple ScreenShots;
