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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
