How to change the default location for saving screenshots in macOS Mojave
Computer screen capture tool on macOS Mojave is now much more powerful. It allows users to draw, mark, add text, zoom on screenshots. Besides, users can record screen video converted into gif or MOV file and use it quite flexibly. However, it still defaults to saving all your screenshots directly to the desktop. You can change that quite easily. Let's see how to do it!
Change the location to save the default screenshot in Mojave
First you need to open the screen capture tool by pressing Command + Shift + 5 , then selecting Options .
At the top of the Options menu, under Save To section , you'll see the built-in options:
- Desktop: The default location, will save all your screenshots to a separate stack.
- Clipboard: Use this location if you want to paste photos into another application. This is the most neat location if you don't like cluttering your drives with additional files.
- Messages: This location will open a new message with the attached screenshot so you can send it to one of your contacts.
- Mail: This option creates a new email in the Mail application and attach a screenshot. If you want to send screenshots via web apps like Gmail, it's best to use Clipboard and manually attach files.
- Preview: This option will open the screenshot in Preview so you can edit the image before saving to the drive or copy to another application.
At the bottom of the above options, click Other Location to select the folder where you want the macOS to save your screenshot. Mac will remember this setting and use it for all your future photos.
Simple, just try it!
