Although there isn’t a direct method available in UiPath Studio (to the best of my knowledge :slight_smile: ) to achieve this, you may try one of the two following ways:

  1. Use Take Screenshot UiPath activity
    You can utilise the Misc options such as Target.Selector and/or Target.ClippingRegion to narrow down the area of screenshot.
  2. Use Excel feature to Copy As Picture
    Build a UI automation to implement this. Although Excel works much better in integrated automation setting, this requirement is not your usual Excel user case.

I hope this helps.
Happy Automation!

You might want to research the Screenshot activity in a bit more detail.

It has an option named Clipping Region.

You maybe able to come up with the rectangular area you want to clip based on your screen resolution.

Target.ClippingRegion - Defines the clipping rectangle, in pixels, relative to the UiElement, in the following directions: left, top, right, bottom. It supports both positive and negative numbers.

Also, the Marketplace has a Clipping Component created by UiPath for this purpose. You might want to search market place . But this might help you if your automation is attended.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
