Screenshots are images of what is on your computer screen. They can be used for a variety of reasons, such as saving an image of something you want to remember or sharing what you see on your screen with someone else.

On a Mac, you can take a screenshot by pressing a combination of the Shift, Command, and 3 keys simultaneously. This will take a picture of your entire screen and save it to your clipboard (you can then paste it into another program like Photoshop to save it as an image file).

Why Can’t I Crop My Screenshot On Mac?

There are a few reasons why the crop option might be greyed out on your Mac. One possibility is that you don’t have the latest version of macOS. The crop tool was added in macOS Sierra, so if you’re uing an earlier version of the operating system, you won’t be able to crop your screenshots.

Another possibility is that your screenshot is too large. The crop tool will only work with images that are smaller than 4096 pixels wide and 4096 pixels high. If your screenshot is larger than that, you’ll need to resize it before you can crop it.

Finally, the crop tool might be disabled for security reasons. If you’re tying to crop a screenshot of a confidential document or something else that you don’t want others to see, the crop tool might be disabled so that you can’t accidentally share the image.
