IN or ON - which is preferable?

Hi,

I understand it is not possible to swap the prepositions "in"/"on" in the expressions "shown in the picture..." and "shown on the screen"?

But what about "shown in/on the screenshot" (1), "shown "in/on the snapshot" (2)?
What preposition is common/preferable in (1)? in (2)?
