What is how to crop screenshot on mac?
Here's how to crop screenshots on a Mac:
After taking a screenshot using the built-in macOS tools, there are a couple of ways to crop it:
-
Using Preview:
- Open the screenshot in the Preview app. (It usually opens there by default if you've just taken it).
- Click the "Show Markup Toolbar" button (it looks like a pen tip inside a circle) if the toolbar isn't already visible.
- Select the rectangular selection tool. Click and drag to select the area you want to keep.
- Click the "Crop" button in the Markup toolbar.
- Save the cropped screenshot (
File
> Save
).
-
Using the Screenshot App (macOS Mojave and later):
- After taking a screenshot, a thumbnail appears in the corner of your screen.
- Click the thumbnail. This opens the screenshot in a Quick Look window (essentially a simplified Preview).
- Click the Markup button (pen icon).
- You'll see tools at the top of the Quick Look window. Use the rectangular selection tool to select the area you want to keep.
- Click the "Crop" button.
- Click "Done" to save the cropped screenshot.
