New to Mac. What is the best way to snip on Mac? I am using FS Capture on Windows 10. This amazing windows app is able to take all kinds of screenshots and most importantly, it can edit the image immediately after screenshot, such as adding edges, shapes and texts.
How can I do this on a Mac?
MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
Have you tried the screenshot function Shift-Command-5 with the "Show Floating Thumbnail" option? That option allows immediate editing from that thumbnail. No idea how it compares with that Win10 program, never having used the latter.
Command-Shift-3 for the whole screen,
Command-Shift-4 to drag a selection to capture
Command-Shift-5 for options.
As markwmsn wrote, if you activate the "Show floating thumbnail", you can click that and immediately edit.
As an alternative, you can set images to "Save to" Preview, which results in each screenshot automatically open in the Preview application, ready to make any adjustments or annotations you may want. This is how I use it, but markwmsn solution is also great.
Try Screenshots and then open the Image in Preview for editing.

Like markwmsn, I have no experience with Windows.
