As of this writing, we are not incentivized in any way by any of these screenshot software companies. Please see our original research publication on 79 Screenshot Software Tools Compared that is always kept up-to-date. We list the top five MacOS screenshot applications here, along with three runners up.
We found 40 screenshot applications that advertise MacOS support. If you think of any features that we should have included in our comparison analysis let us know in the comments below. You’ll receive a personalized PDF report comparing all screenshot platforms that we included in our original research. One way to take advantage of our research is to participate in our custom screenshot-software survey so you can layer in your own importance prioritization for each feature. But third party tools obviously are going to have greatly expanded feature sets around the screen capture, editing, and sharing process.
And yes, there are ways to take screenshots on a Mac without a third party app.
