There are multiple ways to save a picture on a Mac computer. This guide walks through how to save pictures from websites and emails on your Mac using most versions of macOS.

1. Open a browser and find a photo or image you want to save.

2. Right-click the image. Alternatively, hold down Control and then click the photo to open a drop-down menu.

   If you have a laptop or trackpad, you can click or tap with two fingers for a right-click, or secondary click.

3. Select Save image as in the menu. Select a download location and click Save.

Gmail features an easy way to access pictures and attachments.

In Apple Mail, photos typically appear in-between text in the body of the message or at the bottom, depending on how the sender attached it.

1. Open Apple Mail and select the message containing one or more photos.

2. Hover your mouse on the horizontal line just under the header information to bring up an action bar.

3. Select the paperclip on the action bar to open a drop-down menu. Select individual photos to save or Save All for multiple photos. You can also opt to export them to your Photos app.

4. Select a location for the saved photos and click Save to confirm the download.

If you use Outlook on Mac, the steps are similar to Apple's Mail app. In an email, you'll see a photo attachment icon. Click Download All if there are multiple pictures or click the arrow next to a specific attachment, then click Save As.
