You may take a screenshot of some text to post on social media, or take snapshots of friends in a FaceTime call. Or, you may need to take screenshots to demonstrate a problem with your device. The Mac has always had easy ways to take screenshots. These were long available using keyboard shortcuts, but a Grab app was present until macOS In macOS 14, Mojave, this was replaced with Screenshot, a more powerful and flexible app.
On the Mac, Command-Shift-3 takes a screenshot of the entire screen.

If you want to save your screenshots to a custom folder, click Other Location and choose a folder, or click New Folder to create one. In my example above, I save my screenshots to a folder named Screenshots, in my Documents folder. All future screenshots will be saved to that location, not just those that you initiate using this screenshot tool.
Unless you change the floating thumbnail option mentioned above, your Mac shows your screenshot in a thumbnail in the bottom right corner of your display for a few seconds.
