Pin a screenshot on screen

Keep a screenshot floating above all windows so you can refer to it while you work.

Pin a screenshot to the screen so it floats above every window and every Space, handy when you need to copy figures or compare designs.

Pin

  • On the preview card after a capture, click Stick on Screen (or hover over the card and press ⌘P).
  • In Area & Markup mode, click Stick on Screen to save and pin it at once.

Use a pinned image

  • Drag to move it.
  • Scroll or pinch to zoom, or click the percentage pill and choose from 50% to 200%, or Fit.
  • Drag the handle to drop the image into another app.
  • Click the lock button (Lock it and fade out under the pointer): clicks pass through the image and it fades when the pointer moves over it, so you can work underneath.
  • Click ✕ Unpin, or hover over the image and press Esc, to close it.
