Grab is an application created by Apple Computer for Mac OS X, used to take screenshots. Grab is also present in OS X's progenitors NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP. It supports capturing a marquee selection, whole window, whole screen, and timed screen. Grab can be found in the Utilities folder under Applications, or by typing in /Applications/Utilities/Grab.app in Finder. The Grab utility can also be found in the Finder as a menu item by selecting "Services", then going to "Grab". The only image format for screenshots taken by Grab is TIFF. It can also be found using the Spotlight function (keyboard shortcut CMD SPACE)

This application is preinstalled on all recent macintosh systems.

As of Mac OS X v10.4, Preview now has a Grab submenu in the File menu, with selection, window and timed screen. In Mac OS X, it is also possible to save screenshots directly to the Desktop in .pdf format (earlier versions of OS X) or PNG format (later versions), using keystrokes shown below. It is not possible to use this software while DVD Player is open.

Grab may refer to:

Computer software, or just software, is a collection of computer programs and related data that provides the instructions for telling a computer what to do and how to do it. Software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some purposes. In other words, software is a set of programs, procedures, algorithms and its documentation concerned with the operation of a data processing system. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical devices). In contrast to hardware, software "cannot be touched". Software is also sometimes used in a more narrow sense, meaning application software only. Sometimes the term includes data that has not traditionally been associated with computers, such as film, tapes, and records.
