How to Take a Screenshot of Your Entire Screen
Taking a screenshot of your entire screen is pretty simple—just press Shift-Command (⌘)-3. That's it! A screenshot will be taken of your entire screen and saved as a .png file on your desktop.
If you want to take a screenshot of just a portion of your screen, press Shift-Command-4. This brings up a crosshair; you can then click and drag to select the area you want to screenshot. When you let go, the screenshot will be taken and saved as a .png file on your desktop.
How to Take a Screenshot of a Selected Portion of Your Screen
To take a screenshot of a selected portion of your screen, follow these steps:
1. Press Shift-Command-5 on your keyboard.
2. A toolbar will appear with different options for taking a screenshot.
3. To take a screenshot of a selected portion of your screen, click on the Capture Selected Portion of Screen option.
4. A crosshair will appear on your screen. Use it to select the portion of the screen that you'd like to capture.
5. To cancel taking the screenshot, press the Escape key. Otherwise, click on the Capture button.
6. Your screenshot will be saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
Here's how you take a screenshot of a window or menu:
1. Press Shift-Command (⌘)-5 on your keyboard.
2. Click the window or menu that you want to capture.

Now that you know how to take a screenshot, you might be wondering how to edit and share them. If you want to edit your screenshot, you can do so using the built-in image editor on your Mac. To find the editor, double-click on the screenshot in Finder.
