There are easy ways to take screenshots of your entire screen, a section of your screen, or even a specific window.\nThe problem: these features are hidden behind keyboard shortcuts that, to say the least, aren't obvious. \nThe most useful Mac screenshot shortcuts\nTo take a screenshot on a Mac, you'll need to memorize a few keyboard shortcuts. Fortunately, they're all quite similar—and each saves a screenshot image to your Mac's desktop by default. Here are the default Mac screenshot keyboard shortcuts:\nSave full-screen screenshot:\ncommand\n+\nshift\n+\n3\nSave screenshot of single window: first, swipe up with four fingers to show all your windows. Then\ncommand\n+\nshift\n+\n4\n, press the\nSpace\nkey, and click on the window you want to capture (your cursor will turn into a camera icon).\nSave screenshot of selection:\ncommand\n+\nshift\n+\n4\n, then select the area you want to capture with your mouse cursor.\nSave screenshot of Touch Bar (note: Touch Bars are being discontinued on newer Macs):\ncommand\n+\nshift\n+\n6\nTip:\nWant to copy the screenshot to your clipboard instead of saving it to your desktop? Add\ncontrol\nto any of these keyboard shortcuts to copy the screenshot—so, for example,\ncommand\n+\ncontrol\n+\nshift\n+\n3\nto copy a full-screen screenshot. Then all you need to do is\ncommand\n+\nV\nto paste it where you want it.\nHow to customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts on a Mac\nIf you want, you can customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts from your Mac's keyboard preferences.\nOpen\nSystem Settings\n(Apple icon > System Settings).\nToward the bottom of the sidebar, select\nKeyboard.\nClick\nKeyboard Shortcuts.\nIn the sidebar, select\nScreenshots.\nDouble-click the shortcut area on any of the options, and it'll turn into a space for you to type.\nType the new shortcut you want to use.\nClick\nDone\n.\nThat's it! You can always restore the defaults at any time.\nHow to screen record on Mac (and capture delayed screenshots)\nIf you want to do more than capture a single screenshot, you can use the Screenshot app that comes with your Mac. The Screenshot tool lets you:\nRecord your screen, with or without your cursor movement\nCapture a delayed screenshot\nSave your screenshots and recordings directly to a specific location\nHere's how to do it:\nIn\nFinder\n, select\nApplications\nfrom the sidebar, and then choose the\nUtilities\nfolder\n.\nOpen\nScreenshot\n.\nThe buttons with the small circles on them let you record a video of your screen—you can even record commentary using your microphone. You can do your entire screen or a particular section—the result will be saved as a .MOV file. \nAlternatively, you can click\nOptions\nto set up a delay.\nOther ways to screenshot on Mac\nWant your screenshots and videos automatically uploaded to the web, so you can quickly share them?\nCheck out Zappy\n, made by Zapier. It's what the Zapier team uses internally, and it does everything Apple's Screenshot does (and more). Or try any of these\nscreen recording tools\nfor more advanced features.\nRelated reading:\nScreenshot tools, tips, and shortcuts: How to capture anything on your screen\nHow to turn boring screenshots into shareable images\nHow to record yourself on a Mac\nHow to automatically quit apps on Mac when you're not using them\nThis article was originally published in August 2018.

There are easy ways to take screenshots of your entire screen, a section of your screen, or even a specific window.\n\nThe problem: these features are hidden behind keyboard shortcuts that, to say the least, aren't obvious.\n\n## The most useful Mac screenshot shortcuts\n![OS X Screenshot](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/lzny33ho1g45\/27AGoGowmNiQtWltzTwoN9\/c91b00d8b89ace4044a8032e3f9fa8d0\/OS_X_Screenshot)\n\nTo take a screenshot on a Mac, you'll need to memorize a few keyboard shortcuts.

In *Finder*, select **Applications** from the sidebar, and then choose the **Utilities** folder**.**\n2. Open **Screenshot**.\n3. The buttons with the small circles on them let you record a video of your screen—you can even record commentary using your microphone. You can do your entire screen or a particular section—the result will be saved as a .MOV file.\n\n![macOS screenshot of a region](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/lzny33ho1g45\/2rV2RYHgCLXPHt6qsQhy85\/354d30c0243978c253c8b46e3b6c5cae\/image7.png)\n\nAlternatively, you can click **Options** to set up a delay.\n\n![macOS Screenshot](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/lzny33ho1g45\/3SzW2PwxWLyt83sYC2xN4t\/2fd5f7bf1d9cf06f26ad99a2a338096e\/image6.png)\n\n## Other ways to screenshot on Mac\nWant your screenshots and videos automatically uploaded to the web, so you can quickly share them?

There are easy ways to take screenshots of your entire screen, a section of your screen, or even a specific window. The problem: these features are hidden behind keyboard shortcuts that, to say the least, aren't obvious. ## The most useful Mac screenshot shortcuts ![OS X Screenshot](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/27AGoGowmNiQtWltzTwoN9/c91b00d8b89ace4044a8032e3f9fa8d0/OS_X_Screenshot) To take a screenshot on a Mac, you'll need to memorize a few keyboard shortcuts. Fortunately, they're all quite similar—and each saves a screenshot image to your Mac's desktop by default. Here are the default Mac screenshot keyboard shortcuts: - Save full-screen screenshot: `command` \+ `shift` \+ `3` - Save screenshot of single window: first, swipe up with four fingers to show all your windows. Then `command` \+ `shift` \+ `4`, press the `Space` key, and click on the window you want to capture (your cursor will turn into a camera icon). - Save screenshot of selection: `command` \+ `shift` \+ `4`, then select the area you want to capture with your mouse cursor. - Save screenshot of Touch Bar (note: Touch Bars are being discontinued on newer Macs): `command` \+ `shift` \+ `6` Tip: Want to copy the screenshot to your clipboard instead of saving it to your desktop? Add `control` to any of these keyboard shortcuts to copy the screenshot—so, for example, `command` + `control` + `shift` + `3` to copy a full-screen screenshot. Then all you need to do is `command`\+`V` to paste it where you want it. ## How to customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts on a Mac If you want, you can customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts from your Mac's keyboard preferences. 1. Open System Settings (Apple icon \> System Settings). 2. Toward the bottom of the sidebar, select Keyboard. 3. Click Keyboard Shortcuts. 4. In the sidebar, select Screenshots. 5. Double-click the shortcut area on any of the options, and it'll turn into a space for you to type. 6. Type the new shortcut you want to use. 7. Click Done. That's it! You can always restore the defaults at any time. ![A GIF showing how to customize Mac keyboard shortcuts for screenshots](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/55wbSL8Zp77lO0wSc9vJG3/f9e7916fc5d26260b08546143305fbdd/bbef0574f747f3a49efa48e6030cdfb0.gif) ## How to screen record on Mac (and capture delayed screenshots) 5 things you should automate today [Start automating](https://zapier.com/blog/what-you-should-automate/) If you want to do more than capture a single screenshot, you can use the Screenshot app that comes with your Mac. The Screenshot tool lets you: - Record your screen, with or without your cursor movement - Capture a delayed screenshot - Save your screenshots and recordings directly to a specific location Here's how to do it: 1. In Finder, select Applications from the sidebar, and then choose the Utilities folder. 2. Open Screenshot. 3. The buttons with the small circles on them let you record a video of your screen—you can even record commentary using your microphone. You can do your entire screen or a particular section—the result will be saved as a .MOV file. ![macOS screenshot of a region](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/2rV2RYHgCLXPHt6qsQhy85/354d30c0243978c253c8b46e3b6c5cae/image7.png) Alternatively, you can click Options to set up a delay. ![macOS Screenshot](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/3SzW2PwxWLyt83sYC2xN4t/2fd5f7bf1d9cf06f26ad99a2a338096e/image6.png) ## Other ways to screenshot on Mac Want your screenshots and videos automatically uploaded to the web, so you can quickly share them?

Then `command` \+ `shift` \+ `4`, press the `Space` key, and click on the window you want to capture (your cursor will turn into a camera icon). - Save screenshot of selection: `command` \+ `shift` \+ `4`, then select the area you want to capture with your mouse cursor. - Save screenshot of Touch Bar (note: Touch Bars are being discontinued on newer Macs): `command` \+ `shift` \+ `6` Tip: Want to copy the screenshot to your clipboard instead of saving it to your desktop? Add `control` to any of these keyboard shortcuts to copy the screenshot—so, for example, `command` + `control` + `shift` + `3` to copy a full-screen screenshot. Then all you need to do is `command`\+`V` to paste it where you want it. ## How to customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts on a Mac If you want, you can customize the screenshot keyboard shortcuts from your Mac's keyboard preferences. 1. Open System Settings (Apple icon \> System Settings). 2. Toward the bottom of the sidebar, select Keyboard. 3. Click Keyboard Shortcuts. 4. In the sidebar, select Screenshots. 5.

The Screenshot tool lets you: - Record your screen, with or without your cursor movement - Capture a delayed screenshot - Save your screenshots and recordings directly to a specific location Here's how to do it: 1. In Finder, select Applications from the sidebar, and then choose the Utilities folder. 2. Open Screenshot. 3. The buttons with the small circles on them let you record a video of your screen—you can even record commentary using your microphone. You can do your entire screen or a particular section—the result will be saved as a .MOV file. ![macOS screenshot of a region](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/2rV2RYHgCLXPHt6qsQhy85/354d30c0243978c253c8b46e3b6c5cae/image7.png) Alternatively, you can click Options to set up a delay. ![macOS Screenshot](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/3SzW2PwxWLyt83sYC2xN4t/2fd5f7bf1d9cf06f26ad99a2a338096e/image6.png) ## Other ways to screenshot on Mac Want your screenshots and videos automatically uploaded to the web, so you can quickly share them?
