How to Save a Screenshot and Copy It at the Same Time on Mac
With Supercharge
- Open the settings of Supercharge, and click “Tweaks”.
- In the “Screenshots” section, turn on “Copy screenshots to clipboard”.
- Take a screenshot as usual, like with ShiftCommand4. It is saved, and you can paste it.
It only works with the screenshot tool of macOS, and when it saves screenshots to a folder. If the floating thumbnail is on, the screenshot is copied when the thumbnail goes away.

Apple’s instructions. These are enough when you only sometimes need both. Supercharge is for when you always want to paste the screenshot that you just took.
