Every capture in one menu

One shortcut lets you pick area, window, full-screen, or scrolling capture, or open the image editor. Press a number to choose, and in window capture press Space to keep or drop the shadow.

Pin an image on top

Click the pin on a thumbnail and the capture floats above your other windows, so you can work while you look at it. Pinch or scroll to resize, and double-click for actual size.

⌥S

Scroll for a long image

Capture a page that won’t fit on one screen as a single image. Select an area and scroll as usual — everything that scrolls by is stitched into one tall image and copied.

Capture, then mark it up

Click Edit on a thumbnail to open the editor. Point things out with arrows, shapes, text, and highlights, and hide what others shouldn’t see with a redaction or pixelation. The original stays intact, so you can change it again later.

⌥D

Todos at the edge of your screen

⌘⇧4

Drag to copy an image

Copies the image itself instead of the text. Captures stack up in the corner of the screen, so an earlier one is still there after the next capture overwrites the clipboard. Hover to see it larger; drag it out to attach it right away.
