How to do it 1 Press ⇧⌘4 and drag over part of the screen. Press Space to pick a window instead.
2 Press ⇧⌘3 for the screen the pointer is on, or ⇧⌥⌘W and click a window.
3 Or press ⇧⌘5 for the capture bar, and choose Area , Window , Screen , or Text .

Decide whether screenshots copy, upload to FrameCast Files, copy a link, show a thumbnail, and which format they save in.
Mark up a screenshot
Add arrows, boxes, text, callouts, numbered steps, blur, a spotlight, or a magnifier, crop it, and put it on a background. Markup stays editable.
Use FrameCast for ⇧⌘3, ⇧⌘4, and ⇧⌘5
FrameCast can take over macOS’s screenshot keys while it runs, or leave them to macOS and use its own. macOS gets them back when FrameCast quits.
Record only part of the screen
Drag over an area to record only that part, or turn on Record inside bounds to keep a resizable dashed frame and record only what’s inside it.
