Taking full-page screenshots on your computer is even easier. If you want to capture the entire screen, you can use quick keyboard shortcuts or built-in programs. We’ll show you precisely what to do.
How to take full-page screenshots on your Mac
To take a screenshot, press and hold these three keys simultaneously: Shift + Command + 3. This captures the whole page. You might see a thumbnail in the corner of the screen. In that case, click it to edit the screenshot — or wait until the image automatically saves to your desktop.
You can also use Apple’s default tool, which is fittingly called Screenshot. To open it, go to Applications> Other or Utilities and select Screenshot. Or use Spotlight to quickly find this native app. Hit Command + Space bar and type screenshot. Select the app to open it.
Once you open the Screenshot tool, you’ll see a small toolbar with different options. Select the first option on the left: Capture Entire Screen.
This will take a snapshot of your entire screen. According to Apple, all screenshots are automatically saved to your desktop with the name “Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.” Pretty easy!

American tourists are big targets abroad: You can thank Hollywood stereotypes that paint us all as wealthy. In some countries, you could be robbed, drugged or worse. If you’re traveling, keep your voice down (everyone knows an American accent), ditch USA-branded clothes and if something feels off, get outta there.
