# ElementHandle.screenshot() method
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [Page.screenshot()](./puppeteer.page.screenshot.md) to take a screenshot of the element. If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
**Signature:**
```typescript
class ElementHandle {
screenshot(
this: ElementHandle<Element>,
options?: ScreenshotOptions
): Promise<string | Buffer>;
}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------- |
| this | [ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md)&lt;Element&gt; | |
| options | [ScreenshotOptions](./puppeteer.screenshotoptions.md) | <i>(Optional)</i> |
**Returns:**
Promise&lt;string \| Buffer&gt;
