screen shots on Mac

I have a Mac from 2021. I have never had this problem until now, some of my screenshots I have taken are blurry. Especially when I try to add them to software like InDesign and Illustrator. Can someone please help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Never heard this issue before.


try making some changes to Options

Shift Command 5 make changes to suit your needs

Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac - Apple Support



To trouble shoot further you can:


—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 



unplug all third party peripherals when testing



Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS
