There always comes a time where you just have to take a screenshot on your computer especially on a Mac. Luckily, Macs even have an integrated shortcut for screenshots! It’s stupid easy and especially useful because of the multiple options.
By default, your screenshots will be saved to your Desktop with the date as its name.
The Full Screenshot
Command (⌘)-Shift-3
The command takes a full picture of your desktop.
Example full screen shot
Partial Screenshot (Drag method)
Command (⌘)-Shift-4
Move the cursor to where you want to start taking the screenshot, click, hold, drag, and let go at the ending area where you want to stop the screenshot.
Example partial screenshot
Window Screenshot
Command (⌘)-Shift-4
Then, press:
Spacebar
Click on a window with the camera icon that appears, and you will take a screenshot of that window.

Those are the main three ways I use screenshots on Mac. It’s super easy and with perfect shortcuts.
