How to Take Screenshot on Macbook Pro/Air?
1. Using keyboard commands
- Capture the entire screen
Simply press the -Command+Shift+3- keys at the same time. Wait for a flash to appear on your screen and then release the keys. The screenshot will automatically be saved on your Mac-s desktop. Or you can simultaneously press the -Command+Shift+3-Ctrl- keys. This will copy the mac screenshot to the clipboard and you-ll be able to edit it and make some final adjustments.
- Capture a portion of the screen
If you want to capture only a part of your screen, you-ll have to use the -Command+Shift+4- key combination. This will swap your mouse pointer with a crosshair, which you can use to select the part of the screen that you want to save. Once you-ve selected a specific part, the screenshot will be saved on your desktop. Or simply press -Command+Shift+4+Ctrl- simultaneously and the screenshot will be copied to the clipboard.
- Capture a window or menu
If you are in the middle of a browsing session on Safari and only want to capture a specific tab, simultaneously press the -Command+Shift+4- keys on your keyboard and wait for the pointer to turn into a crosshair. Now, press the spacebar and the icon will again change to a -Camera- icon. Now, hover this icon over the window that you want to capture and click. This will save the captured window on your desktop.
2. Use the Screenshot app
Step 1: Press & hold -Command+Shift+5- keys simultaneously and wait for the -Screenshot Toolbar- to appear at the top of your screen. Or launch the -Screenshot- app through the -Other- folder on the launchpad.
Step 2: Now, select one of the three modes and take a screenshot on Mac accordingly.
3. Using Preview to take a screenshot on Mac
Step 1: Launch the -Preview- app and hit the -File- menu tab on top. Then select the Take screenshot option from the appearing drop-down menu.
Step 2: Now, to capture your screen, opt for the desired option from the appearing menu. Here, you-ll have three options:
- From Selection
- From Window
- From Entire Screen
