I will leave this blog post as a reference to anyone asking the same question again.
I originally decided to write this tutorial because dozens of people have asked how I have created all those screenshots on this website. I have no idea how many are there, but I am sure that at least tens of thousands of screenshots are all captured using macOS Monterey. I call myself a heavy Mac user, and I have taken thousands of screenshots in the last year alone that are all published on these WordPress theme collections. There are 6 (!) different ways to capture a screenshot on your Mac, 3 different approaches with 2 separate outputs for each, but I use only two. Unfortunately, there is no such button on your Mac, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t take a screenshot you can, but the process is a bit more complicated, harder to memorize but is much more flexible when it comes to output and what you are specifically looking to capture in a screenshot. There are some exceptions, but almost all Windows keyboards have the “Print screen” button somewhere. If you're running MacOS Mojave or newer (if you've bought or updated your Mac since 2018, this should be the case), this will open the advanced screenshot menu.If you Googled “How to do Print Screen on a Mac,” it means that you recently have switched from Windows to a shiny Mac and have no idea where to find the “Print Screen” button, which is present on most keywords designed for Windows. This means that unless you paste the picture somewhere and save that, the screenshot will disappear as soon as you copy something else.Īlthough these are the two spaces where screenshots go by default, you can choose a new saving location at any time. When you copy a screenshot to the clipboard, it won't be saved to your hard drive. Your Mac's clipboard is the space that anything you copy or "Cut" goes to - in other words, once the screenshot is saved there, you can paste it by pressing Command + V.
You can also hold down the Control key while you take the screenshot to copy it to the clipboard. Once you press any of the screenshot shortcuts, the picture will appear on your Desktop, labeled as "Screen Shot," followed by the date and time. Where screenshots go on a Mac, and how to change itīy default, any screenshot you take on your Mac will go to the Desktop.
