There are several ways to take screenshots on your Mac, depending on what you want to capture:

Capture the entire screen:

• Press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command, and 3.

Capture a specific area:

1. Press and hold Shift, Command, and 4.
2. Your cursor will change into a crosshair.
3. Drag the crosshair to select the area you want to capture.
4. Release the mouse or trackpad button.

Capture a window or menu:

1. Open the window or menu you want to capture.
2. Press and hold Shift, Command, 4, and Space bar.
3. The pointer will change into a camera icon.
4. Click the window or menu to capture it.

Additional options:

• Hold Control while pressing the other keys to copy the screenshot instead of saving it to your desktop.
• Hold the Option key while clicking a window to exclude its shadow from the screenshot.
• Press the Escape (Esc) key to cancel taking the screenshot.
