Apple Mac allows you to take screenshots and save your screen content. However, screenshots are, by default, saved on the desktop rather than the pasteboard (as on Windows). Also, these images are named in the following format: ”Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.” If you are someone who takes many screenshots, the default save location can clutter your desktop space and make it disorganized.
Here’s a quick guide to help you change screenshot location on Mac:
- On your Mac, press Command + Shift + 5 keys.
- Choose the Options tab.
- Then, select an available folder or click on the Other Location option.
- If you have selected the Other Location option, you can create a folder if necessary or navigate to the place where you want the snapshot to be saved.
- Your screenshots will be saved there once you’ve changed the place up until you do it again.
Conclusion
Once you have changed the default location for your screenshots, you can work in a more organized way and also have a clutter-free desktop. Furthermore, you can always drag and drop your folders to other locations in Mac to make your work more simple.
