If you’re like most people, you probably take screenshots of important documents and files on your Mac to save them for future reference. But if you’re like me, you also take screenshots of things just to show off how cool they look. There are a few ways to crop a screenshot on your Mac, but the best way is probably the easiest: just hold down the Option key and click on the screenshot thumbnail in the bottom left corner of your screen. Then use the arrow keys to move it around and resize it as needed. But there are other ways to crop a screenshot too. Here’s how:

  1. Hold down Option and click on one of the corners of your screen. This will create a corner crop that will be used for all subsequent screenshots.
  2. Hold down Option and click on one of the top or bottom edges of your screen. This will create a top or bottom crop that will be used for all subsequent screenshots.
  3. Use Command-Option-click (or Command-Option-drag), then drag the screenshot thumbnail across the entire screen to change its size.
