# The PIL.ImageGrab Module

(New in 1.1.3) The ImageGrab module can be used to copy the contents of the screen to a PIL image memory.

The current version works on Windows only.

  bbox
    What region to copy. Default is the entire screen.
  Returns:
    An image
grabclipboard() [#]

  (New in 1.1.4) Take a snapshot of the clipboard image, if any.

  Returns:
    An image, a list of filenames, or None if the clipboard does not contain image data or filenames. Note that if a list is returned, the filenames may not represent image files.
