Take a screenshot of the entire Mac screen

You use a key combination that is Command Shift 3 will instantly capture your entire Mac screen.

Find the captured image on your Mac screen; it’s the default save location; you can change the save location according to the instructions below.

Change photo save location

By default, the captured image will be saved directly on the screen. If you don’t like it, change the save location to another location.

You click the Command Shift 5 key combination, then click Options. In the Save to section, select Another location… Then navigate to the folder you want to change.

Change image format

The default screenshot is in PNG format. If you want to change it to another format, open Terminal by clicking Command Space and finding Terminal.

Open the Terminal app
Open the Terminal app

Then you paste this command line into Terminal and then Enter to change the image format.

Note: Edit [format] to one of these formats bmp, pdf, jpg, jp2, tif, pict, tga, png before entering.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type [format]

Change default image file name

If you don’t like the default names of the screenshots, you can change them by pasting this command into Terminal. Please change [file name] to the name you want before Enter.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture name [file name]

Turn on and off the shadow effect when capturing the window

I find that having a shadow effect when snapping a window is more beautiful and shows Mac’s quality, but if you don’t like it, you can turn it off by pasting this command into Terminal and then Enter.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true

If you want to re-enable the shadow effect when capturing the window, paste this command into Terminal and then Enter to turn it back on.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false

How to draw on screenshots to get attention

If you take a screenshot to guide someone, after taking it, you can draw more on the photo like the ones Lucid Gen used to draw the red lines in that article.

Open the photo you just took, then click the pencil button near the search bar. Then use the drawing tools to design the image you want.

Epilogue

I wrote a lot, but basically, we only use 3 ways to take a screenshot on Mac first. Note that Mac screenshots will be very sharp and have a high resolution (twice as much as a normal computer screen), so the file will be a bit heavy. If you want to send it to anyone, please reduce their size before sending it (in the drawing area on the image, there is a 2-way arrow button to resize). If you find this article good, please comment and communicate with Lucid Gen!
