You know how to take screenshots on a Mac, but not how to take screenshots of the second display on your new MacBook Pro: the Touch Bar. What if you want to share how you’ve customized the Touch Bar, or the dumb Touch Bar apps you’ve found?
It turns out the keyboard shortcut for taking a screenshot of the Touch Bar is related to the other keyboard shortcuts for taking a screenshot: Command+Shift+6. Press these keys and a screenshot of your Touch Bar will appear on your desktop (or somewhere else, if you’ve changed where your Mac saves screenshots.)
The screenshot itself is going to be unwieldy: the Touch Bar’s resolution is 2170 by 60 pixels, meaning the results are going to be quite wide. You’ll have to crop it using Preview, or whatever image editor you prefer.
If you’d rather have the screenshot copied to your clipboard, you can do that with Control+Command+Shift+6.
Now you can paste your screenshot into the image editor or word processor of your choice.
These keyboard shortcuts are somewhat clumsy, but you can customize your macOS keyboard shortcuts by heading to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, then clicking the “Screen Shots” category.
From here you can set whatever keyboard shortcut you want for taking screenshots of your Touch Bar.
If none of these methods appeal to you, or you simply don’t have a Touch Bar to take screenshots of, you can try a software version of the Touch Bar on any Mac.
With this window open you can take screenshots of the Touch Bar using the cross hairs offered by Command+Shift+4, just like you would with any other application. It’s an option worth considering if you want to quickly screenshot a particular region of the Touch Bar without having to crop later.

The Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro (2016) is a small strip of an OLED screen. So, Apple made it possible for you to screenshot it, just like you can with all other screens on your various Apple devices.
How to take a screenshot of the Touch bar and save it to your Desktop
To take a screenshot of your Touch Bar, hold down Shift + Command + 6 at the same time. The screenshot will automatically save to your Desktop.
If you have Desktop and Documents synced in iCloud Drive, the screenshot will also be accessible on all of your devices via iCloud Drive. You can grab it from your Desktop file in the iCloud Drive app on your iPhone or iPad, or find it right on the desktop on your other Mac computers.
How to take a screenshot of the Touch Bar and send it to your Clipboard
If you’d rather send the screenshot directly to your clipboard, you can do so by holding down Control, Shift + Command + 6 at the same time. The screenshot will automatically save to your Clipboard.
Thanks to Universal Clipboard in macOS Sierra and iOS 10, you can paste the screenshot into any compatible program on any device that is connected with your Apple ID. For example, you could take the screenshot on your MacBook Pro and paste it into the Messages app on your iPhone.
Remember: Universal Clipboard files automatically clear after a few minutes. So, this method is only useful if you plan on pasting the screenshot right away.
How to change the keyboard shortcut for taking screenshots of the Touch Bar
As you might have noticed, the keyboard shortcut for copying a Touch Bar screenshot to your clipboard is kinda . long. You can reassign any two (or more) keys you want to this action. Just make sure they aren’t already being used for another keyboard shortcut.
- Click on the Apple menu icon in the upper left corner of your Mac.
Select System Preferences from the drop down menu.
Click on the Shortcuts tab at the top of the window.
Select the action for which you want to change the shortcut.
Click on the red Close Window dot in the upper left corner of the window when you’re done.
Now you’ll be able to use the new shortcut instead of what Apple created as the default. If you ever want to go back to the original shortcut, follow the steps above and click Restore Defaults.

If you do any sort of screenshot-taking on your Mac, you may be familiar with the default screenshot controls: Command-Shift-3 for the entire screen, or Command-Shift-4 to take a partial snapshot.
But if you use that latter command on a Touch Bar-enabled Mac, you can actually get more fine control of your screenshot abilities — namely, how you take the screenshot and where you save it. Here’s how to do it.
How to use the Touch Bar to screenshot your Mac
- Arrange your screen for a screenshot.
Press Command + Shift + 4 all at the same time. Your cursor will turn into crosshairs.
Before you take a screenshot, tap the Save To location to change your save location for the file. (By default, it’s Desktop, but you can also save it to common Home folder locations, or the Clipboard).

Many of us take screenshots on a regular basis. On our iOS devices, we can take one by pressing the power and home button together, or the power and the volume up buttons on the iPhone X. On the Mac, it can be done by holding down the Command (⌘), Shift, and 3 keys. If you want to select just a portion of your Mac screen, you can do so by pressing Command (⌘), Shift, and 4. But what if you want to take a screenshot of the Touch Bar on your fancy new MacBook Pro? It’s pretty simple actually, and there’s a couple of ways to do it.
How To Take Screenshot For The MacBook Pro Touch Bar
The first is with a keyboard shortcut. By default, the keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of your Touch Bar is Command (⌘), Shift, 6. If you would prefer to copy the screenshot to your clipboard rather than creating a file on your desktop, hold down the Control button while pressing Command (⌘), Shift, 6. You can then paste the screenshot into an application.
To change the shortcuts from their stock default, open System Preferences and select Keyboard. Then click on the Shortcuts tab, followed by Screen Shots in the left panel. The last two settings are for Touch Bar screenshots. To change the shortcut, double-click the shortcut on the right and then press the keyboard keys you would like to use instead. I switched mine from using the number 6 to 5.
If you’d prefer to use an application instead of a keyboard shortcut, you can use the Grab app found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. There, go to the menu bar and then select Captured > Timed Touch Bar. You will then have around 10 seconds to go to the app that you want to have a screenshot of. You can also right-click on the Grab icon on the dock and select “Capture Touch Bar”. The screenshot will then be opened in Preview.
How often would you take a screenshot of the Touch Bar? What do you like most about the Touch Bar? Let us know in the comments!
The Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard on your MacBook Pro can be fully customized with a range of controls. By default, Apple has the Brightness Slider, Volume, and Siri controls saved in the Control Strip, but users can quickly change these defaults with a range of other options, including the ability to take a screenshot of your Mac using the Touch Bar.
Before we delve in, we need to understand what the Control Strip is and how it differs from the Touch Bar.
The Touch Bar adapts to what you’re doing and gives you shortcuts and controls dependant on what you’re doing. The Control Strip, on the other hand, shows Favourite controls, which usually stay fixed and visible on the Touch Bar.
How to customize the Control Strip on the MacBook Pro
- Open System Preferences
- Select Keyboard
- Open the Customize Control Strip button
You will then see all available favourites, which can be added to the Control Strip by selecting and dragging them downwards in the direction of the Touch Bar.
How to take a screenshot of your Mac using the Touch Bar
When you open the Customize Control Strip settings as highlighted above, you’ll see a Screenshot button.
Image: The Apple Post
Select and drag this towards the Touch Bar, and you’ll see it appear in the Control Strip. Now you’ll be able to take a screenshot of your Mac’s display with a tap of the Touch Bar, which will then be saved to your Desktop.
If you need to take screenshots on your Mac on a regular basis, you may need to get acquainted with the three main keyboard shortcuts and an extra one for a MacBook with a touch bar. Some of these methods might be relatively new to you and you might recognize some from macOS Mojave but if you don't, don't worry: we got you covered on the easy ways on how to take screenshots on your Mac.
Stay a little longer because we will show you how to screen capture on mac and edit those screenshots once you've taken them.
How to take a screenshot on your MacBook
Here are keyboard shortcuts on how to take a screenshot on Mac.
Shift+Command+3
- To capture the entire screen, press on shift+command+3, and the thumbnail will go at the bottom right of your Mac. By holding the control key simultaneously with the above shortcut will save the screenshot on your clipboard.
Shift+Command+4
- To screenshot on your Mac, you can also select: shift+command+4 on the keyboard to take a part of your screenshot, which will be saved on your desktop.
- Hold the control key together with the above shortcut to take the part of your screenshot to your clipboard.
Shift+Command+6
- If your Mac has a touch bar, you can press shift+command+6 to take a screenshot of it.
- Press the control key to copy your screenshot to your clipboard.
Shift+Command+5

How to screen capture on Mac
There are other third-party screenshot solutions available. The screen capture tool on Mac, either free or paid, usually comes with additional capabilities that may be useful to you.
How to take Screenshot on MacBook with Snappy
The Snappy screenshot tool captures partial or full screenshots quickly and precisely, with an easy-to-use interface for saving and exporting. The tool provides you with a screenshot in the blink of an eye.
You can start a shot by pressing the Snappy symbol, then selecting the sort of screenshot you wish to take with the gear button. You can also utilize the hotkey that has been allocated to you.
Snappy lacks the ability to take entire images or capture a single application window (however, instead of moving the cursor to the window's edges, you can capture a window by pressing the Space bar after initiating the image).
Also, Snappy has a feature known as Silent Snap, which saves a screen capture on Mac to your Snappy Library rather than displaying it on your desktop.
While you save a Snappy shot to the desktop by double-clicking on it, you need to use a hot-key to upload it to your Snappy Library.
How to take a screen capture on MacBook with CleanShot X
CleanShot X allows you to snap screenshots on a Mac desktop that are clear of clutter. That's correct, and you don't have to be concerned about your desktop icons being strewn about. Even better, you can use it to create properly aligned window images with your wallpaper as a backdrop, modify keyboard shortcuts, and record your screen.
CleanShot x is not free; it will cost you at least $29. CleanShot allows you to print screens on Mac in a variety of ways. You can take a screenshot of a region, a full-screen window, or even a scrolling window.
In a few seconds, take a screenshot on your Mac with the icons on your desktop. From the Quick Access Overlay, drag – and – drop, copy or save the screenshots.
Toggle the desktop icons all the time, even if you're not taking screenshots. Emphasize critical areas in your screenshot or blur any sensitive content immediately. For screen recordings, choose a particular photo or a solid color as a background.
How to Copy Text from Screenshot on your Mac
One of the greatest things about the TextSniper App is how simple and pleasant it is to use. All you have to do is perform a few simple steps to extract text from an image or copy text from a screenshot.
- Open the TextSniper application (it doesn't appear on the dock. It resides in the menu bar).
- Go to the image or screenshot and press the shift+command+2 keys on your keyboard while the software operates in the background.
- A crosshair appears when TextSniper is activated. Select the text you wish to capture from an image or screenshot.
- Finally, go to the location where you wish to paste this content and press the command+vshortcut on your keyboard.
How to Edit a Screenshot on Mac
Do you want to edit a screenshot on Mac? This is how to go about it.
- Take a screenshot and save it on your Mac's desktop.
- Double-click the screenshot file that appears on your desktop.
- Alternatively, right-click the screenshot or image file and choose "Open With".
- From the list of apps, choose "Keynote" or "Other" to find Keynote in your Folders.
- Extend the edit toolbar in Apple Preview to add objects, adjust the tone composition of the screenshot, add text, and more.
- In Keynote, you can add a shade, a reflection, and delete the backdrop of the screenshot.
How to crop a Screenshot on Mac
You can crop screenshots right after they've been taken on your Mac. Here is what to do,
Shift+Command+3
- To take a screenshot, press shift+command+3 on your keyboard.
- Then, in the lower-right corner of your Mac screen, select the thumbnail of the screenshot.
- Click the “Crop” icon in the Quick Look window that appears, and begin cropping.
- Finally, choose “done” to save and execute your adjustments. The cropped screenshot should appear on your Mac desktop by default.
Shift+Command+5
- When you press shift+command+5, a selection box appears with grips around the screenshot, which you can move to crop your desired screenshot.
For an existing Screenshot
- Open an existing screenshot in “Preview”, tap the markup icon on the toolbar, and then pick the rectangular selection on the left-most icon on your Mac.
- Click the available crop button on the toolbar.
- Drag around the region of the screenshot you want to be left and once the crop appears, save it in your choice picture format.
Conclusion
Though a screenshot may appear to be a minor Mac capability, it has a wide range of applications. Screenshots, despite their simplicity, possess unofficial ethics, particularly when it comes to media platforms.
If you take screenshots on your Mac, you may wonder if macOS supports screenshotting the Touch Bar. The default Shift (⇧)-Command (⌘)-3 keyboard shortcut captures a screenshot of everything shown on the display, sans the Touch Bar.
With macOS 10.12.2, Apple has implemented a brand new shortcut specifically designed for taking screenshots of the Touch Bar.
Here’s what you need to know about capturing everything that’s shown on the Touch Bar as an image file on your computer. You’ll also learn how to save Touch Bar screenshots to the clipboard for pasting in other apps and how to add screenshot-taking shortcuts as buttons to the Touch Bar itself.
To reiterate, you must own a Mac with the Touch Bar and macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later to be able to capture screenshots of what’s shown on the Touch Bar.
How to take screenshots of Touch Bar
Press the Shift (⇧)—Command (⌘)—6 combination on the keyboard. Everything that’s currently displayed on the Touch Bar is captured in an image file saved on the desktop.
To take timed screenshots of the entire screen, a selected area of the screen or the Touch Bar itself, use the built-in Grab app in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
How to save screenshots of Touch Bar to clipboard
Press Control (⌃)—Shift (⇧)—Command (⌘)—6 to copy everything you currently see on the Touch Bar to the system clipboard for quick pasting in other apps.
Customizing shortcuts for screenshotting Touch Bar
macOS lets you customize its screenshot-taking shortcuts to your liking. In System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts, click Screen Shots in the lefthand column.
In the righthand column, select the shortcut for saving an image of the Touch Bar as a file, then press a new key combination that you’d like to use. If you want, feel free to also customize the shortcut for saving a screenshot of the Touch Bar to the clipboard.
Adding screenshot-taking shortcuts to Touch Bar
Your Mac’s Touch Bar can be customized to your liking.
Folks who take a lot of screenshots may prefer having a dedicated button in the Touch Bar’s Control Strip for even faster access to various screenshot-taking features, including selecting where the screenshots are saved on the computer and more.
Go to System Preferences → Keyboard → Customize Control Strip. Now click and hold the Screenshot button, drag it to where you want it on the Touch Bar and let go.
Now when you need to take a screenshot, simply hit the Screenshot button on the Touch Bar’s Control Strip section, then choose one of the following options.
- Selected Portion—take a screenshot of a user-selected area of the screen.
- Window—take a screenshot of a window, menu or menu bar.
- Entire Screen—take a screenshot of the entire screen.
Additionally, tapping the Save To menu lets you decide whether screenshots are sent to the clipboard, saved on the desktop/in the Documents folder or sent to apps like Preview, Mail or Messages.
If your Mac is connected to one or more external displays, screenshotting the entire screen will save an image file for each of the displays individually.
Screenshots and Universal Clipboard
If your devices support Universal Clipboard, a Continuity feature in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra or later, saving a screenshot to the system clipboard lets you quickly paste it into another app or another device without sending image files back and forth.
After capturing a screenshot on your Mac, launch an app on another Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and use the Paste command like you normally would. On another Mac, choose Paste in an app’s Edit menu. On an iOS device, launch an app like Messages or Pages, tap and hold to bring up the popup menu, then tap Paste.
The devices immediately establish a direct Wi-Fi connection between them and the screenshot in your Mac’s clipboard is sent wirelessly to another device, just like that. This method of pasting screenshots between devices bypasses the clunkier sharing features such as AirDrop or iCloud Photo Library.
Your devices must use the same iCloud account, have Wi-Fi enabled and be within Bluetooth range in order for Universal Clipboard to work.

Apple still insists it has no interest in multitouch screens on its Mac line — that’s what the iPad is for, after all. But that doesn’t mean multitouch can’t have a place on the Mac. The Touch Bar (currently available on the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro) is a touch-based OLED bar that replaces the row of function keys on your keyboard. Depending on which app is active on your screen, the bar’s options change to reflect the best controls for that program. The Touch Bar also includes a Touch ID sensor on its right side, integrated into the Power button, which adds quick account switching and Apple Pay authorization to your Mac.
If you just picked up a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar support, we’ve put together an ultimate guide for all your multitouch controlling needs.
Which Macs get the Touch Bar?
There may be an OLED panel for every Mac keyboard, laptop, and desktop in the future, but for now, only the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros sport the Touch Bar.

How does it work?
There is a small strip at the top of the screen that features a light-up panel with different options, depending on what you are doing on your Mac. For example, if you’re using Safari, it will show you navigation controls and favorite websites. If you are checking your email, it will show you mail actions like replying or flagging.
On the right side, Apple offers a stationary Control Strip, which offers quick access to system features like Brightness, Volume, Siri, and more. To the left, the Touch Bar offers contextual functions that change from app to app. Not only is the Touch Bar completely multitouch, it can support up to 10 simultaneous inputs (one for every finger), enabling many potential creative options in third-party apps
The Touch ID button has replaced the Power button as the best way to turn on and authorize your Mac. It’s located to the far right of the Touch Bar and connect to the Mac’s T2 Secure Enclave chip, which encrypts your fingerprint and keeps it offline. You can use it to log into your account on your Mac, or pay for purchases using Apple Pay on the Web. You can add and name up to three fingerprints per account, or five fingerprints total.

If you have a strong desire to press a key instead of tapping the leftmost corner of the Touch Bar panel, or worse, having to perform two steps in order to use the escape key (click on the desktop, then tap escape), there is a solution. You can reassign the caps lock key to be used as the escape key.
