So, if anyone is having solution for that, then give me solution for that. I want to save that image to the JPG format. If you have any idea for that, then help me with that.

Under Windows generally Print Screen is used. Then we will glue together into an editor (such Paint) Or so if you want a few more features we have to use a third party program. On a mac there is no key Print Screen. Simply because there is no need. To take a screen of entire screen, Simply press the Cmd + Shift +3. To take a screen on part of the screen, it must then press the Cmd + Shift +4. Once the buttons are pressed, you will see a file on your desktop "Picture 1.png"Is your screenshot.You can then change the format and get the solution for your problem.

If you are making use of the Mac then it will simply save the screenshot files in PNG format. Now if you want to change that format then you have to provide that format to the mac which you want to use. Start your terminal. For that you can use the Applications –> Utilities –> Terminal. Then type the command below:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

You have the option of the following formats:

• BMP
• GIF
• JPEG-2000
• JPEG
• PDF
• PICT
• PNG
• PSD
• SGI
