How-to: Screen Capture on a Mac (Print Screen / Screenshot) Basic Keystroke + Advanced Commands
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Command-shift-3 is the basic keyboard shortcut to screen capture on a Mac, but Griffin also shows how to use keystrokes to copy and paste the screen, set a selected area for a screenshot, and to screengrab one window.
The screen capture command is also known as screencap, screenshot, screengrab or print screen.
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
Capture the entire screen; save an image file on desktop: Command-shift-3
Capture the entire screen; copy to the clipboard to paste: Command-control-shift-3
Choose an area to capture; save an image file on desktop: Command-shift-4
Choose an area to capture; copy to the clipboard to paste: Command-control-shift-4
Choose a window to capture; save an image file on desktop: Command-shift-4 (let go) space
You can also hold down space, option, or shift to modify the selection after activating command-shift-4.
If you can't remember keyboard shortcuts, there's a built-in Mac application called Grab, which has several screen capturing options.
Available in high-definition (HD) and with closed captioning (CC).
it was a 4 for me. but 10 years later it works! thanks! it was driving me CRAZY!
This is the best lesson on capturing images on a Mac I've run across...thank you Griffin!
I'm glad I could help!
don't have a mac but thanks for theshortcuts tell me do you have windows shortcuts?
+Griffin Hammond thanks it really helped!👍🏼
Yeah. I agree. But we cant add annotations using this method. I prefer using a free tool to get screenshot. This blog post have a good comparison of all free tools. have a look at it also. videotutorialspot.com/2018/12/30/how-to-screenshot-on-mac/
9 years later and it’s still the best tutorial that ive ever gotten
For someone like me who just got an iMac seeing the key strokes used is a big help. Thank you very much
That was much clearer and more professional then i expected
So clear, so concise, so easy to follow and so well laid out to access again. Wow, an entertaining teacher , if only ...
Thank you, Anthony!
just moved from windows to mac your tips are proving invaluable thanks !
Wow! That's a fantastic lesson Griffin. It was a huge help as I was struggling to work with the Mac as a new user. Have been used to PCs in the past. Thank you!
Dislike to the fact that we have to press so many buttons as oppose to the one click on windows...and many likes to you for posting this for our convenience. Thanks a lot for the tips! Very helpful
I forgot to say Thank You - Thank You - Thank You!
Your directions are clear, concise, and very helpful.
I prefer watch this then any video nowadays.. complete information.. easy to understand and funny..
Griffin you made my day. Am a plain window guy now learning MAC___ Thank u & God bless. Straight to point was the cheery on the cake. Humour with learning ha ha...
appreciate the help! Leave it to Apple to take what should be a simple one key press and make it more complicated, so typical.
AWESOME! Just started using back and really didn't like to create a file each time I made a screeshot. Thanks man!!
Thanks a ton, I was looking for copy and paste option for the screenshot🙏
Happy to help!

Thank you so much Griffin; as a new Mac user, I was unaware of the no "Print Screen" button as I am not using a Mac keyboard. TYSM!
Loved the clarity of the video & the humour.Thanks for your helpful Tips. Keep recording.Gina
25 seconds in and I already had all the information I needed. Thank you.
Duuuuudeee this helps sooooo much....needed to capy my homescreen to crop a pic out for a school project, thank youuuuuuu!!!
New job, first time using Mac so these are really helpful 🙂🙂
Thank you for posting. This is the best description of all the options. Really appreciated you sharing.
Thank you Griffen, so quick, so easy! My keyboard is a Microsoft brand so it messed me up a bit but it didn't take but a second to figure out the the command key is the same as the Windows key. It works!
I wanted to print off a screenshot, this tutorial was the best I have found, easy to understand and it worked great, thank you
It is incredible Apple has such a complicated capture routine for Screen Print..it is perfectly clear when you explain it in detail Griff but in an hour I will never remember the necessary keystrokes or the sequence - This insanity is frustrating and makes me want to return to Micro Soft...Michael R Wimberly
4 different buttons to take a screenshot and paste it somewhere... god!! and everyone's happy about it...
You have delivered me from my ignorance . Thanks
I wrote all this down. then released I could copy it from your video with the newly learnt skills to save to desktop as a reminder! great!
That bonus top was hilarious to watch today
Thank you! Your video was very informative, professional, AND entertaining. :-) Great job.
absolutely! I needed to know RIGHT NOW for an assignment and I had it done in less than a minute, following your steps.
Same iPhone trick works on the iPad: press the Home and Lock buttons at the same time, and the image will be saved in the Photos reel.
omg you just totally made my day lol! i have had my mac air for a few months but had no idea i could do the screen shot and i am not that savy yet, i just really wanna print selected text so bad
At last I found this video; I've been trying many keys to no avail; Thanks very very much for posting this video
Damn,....This is one of the reasons why i havent used a MAC in 20 YEARS!!!!
This is the best vid for this - i keep coming back everytime i need to copy an image.
Thanks for the video! I am now one step closer to catching up "with the times". :)
you can even shot without pressing the control key! and happy new year!
I agree with all comments!! This video was published in 2012 and now in 2017 it helped me!! Thank you soo much!!! 2 Thumbs up!!

Chỉ cần Đức Phúc hát ballad thì dù buồn hay vui ĐP cũng truyền tải cảm xúc của bài hát rất tốt. Bài buồn thì nghe đúng kiểu tự sự, đau khổ, nghe là muốn khóc. Còn bài vui thì lại nhẹ nhàng, ấm áp, chân thành nghe là muốn yêu❤️
Finally someone knows how to do this
Love your work Griffin, as a film maker myself I've learned stacks from your channel. SUBSCRIBED FROM AUSTRALIA!
Ty! This helped soooo soooooooooo much! I have been trying to screen shot after watching ur video i know how to! This video was very helpfull. Thank you for this tutorial.
You American are such showmen, you make such an entertaining video about something so mundane. Thank you I now can take control of my image.
Excellent! Just what I was looking for Shift+Control+Command+4. Thanks.
Wow its been like 8 yrs and this still works the iPhone do be looking weird tho
Love your humor and visual effects.
Excellent Griffin. Much easier than using "Grab".
command + shift 4 is a great one! coming from a pc, this simple function has had me baffled. Thanks for the video :)
Yeah, I noticed cmd-shift-1 & 2 are commands in some applications, but they do nothing natively in the Mac OS.
Thanks you, finally someone that teaches you everything about it and not only a portion. I really appreciate it :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough for posting this video. I had to send some thing to my credit union and needed help in sending it. Thanks again.
thank you so much for very easy way and professional explain
I love that it’s so straight to the point. Thanx
Thank you so much! What would we do without RUclips?!?!?!?!
OMG i was trying so hard to figure out how to screen shot on this basic but complicated mac! Thanks!!!!!!
dude you are amazing, helped me a lot and saved my time. i pray for you.
Thank you for helping my crazy friend 👍
I am that crazy friend 😊
I downloaded a separate app for this, but no more! Thank you Mr. Hammond!
thank you so much, I was getting crazy with my new Mac air trying to know how to print my screen!!

I did not watch't the video because you actually spoiled the thing i was searching for but the video was handy so thanks al lot
I believe the only way to delete your clipboard is to reboot your Mac. Or, you could replace it with something else, like spaces. You can always view what's in your clipboard in Finder: Edit > Show Clipboard
Great teacher clear, short to the point.
Thanks! I can use this on Google Maps to show something falling from space , well sort of.
This is what i was looking for, i just hate save those images =) thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the tip. I was using Awesome Screenshot until now.
Perfect Video. I'm a German Boy and i understand your englisch perfekt. It was a Big help!
Excellent thank you. Simply explained and easy to follow instructions.
Apple should hire you to make more of these kinds of videos.
Thank you SOOOOOOO much for this!
After 7 years now I know thank you
Thanks a lot Griffin. I am new to Macs. This helped me a lot. I am subscribing to your channel.
This is very helpful and useful in my ipad pro 2020 :) Thank you!
Outstanding instructions for the iMac pro.
Excellent video. Short and to the point. Thank you.
I'm very happy I found this. Thanks!
Excellent! Very simple explanation and it works!! Thank you
i am new to the mac, this was an awesome video, very helpful. Thanks!
Is there a way to take a screenshot if you're not using the Apple wireless and just using a regular wired keyboard?
This is straight to the point and very informative! Thank you! ;)

Thank you !! Very helpful
Nicely done.
Clear verbage.
Clean graphics.
Thank you
Wow fast talking but perfectly clear , repetition that works and funny without the geek "I'm so bored " drawl . NIce guy Thanks Aidan
Two minutes ago I could say the same, but in the opposite side. Now I know how to capture a window in Mac because I searched how to do it. You cannot say that a feature is not available just because you dont know how do use it, no matter if you are talking about Mac or Windows. I can guarantee Windows has more features than you are aware of.
Very Helpful! Thank you. I've had my Mac for over 6 years and haven't know how to do this. Sad I know. I will subscribe!
I love this video! Way to make learning both memorable and enjoyable!! :) I'll be using your channel to learn more! THANKS again!
Great thanks, this worked for me (and I have Windows on my Mac too)....
Great tutorial, and tips!! thank you!!! it was taking a lot longer through the "Grab" application.
Excellent tutorial! It helped me tremendously. Thank You!
Good information and very easily & smartly explained. Thanks. I am new to the Mac World and this is really helpful.
thank you for posting this it was so helpful and easy to follow
LOL, that last part was way funny! I was scared.
Wow! I always knew how to save a screenshot to your desktop, but I never knew there were so many other options. Thanks for the video!
It was worth waiting through the Arm & Hammer advertisement to get to this.
Thanks for short and easy tutorial video:) Made my first screen shot for my VLOG Ep.68 "KJELL IN MMA HELL" using your tips, thanks! With love from Norway
