Hello I was wondering if anyone knows why when ever I take a screen shot in game it turns out blurry. I just use the default print screen button and all my settings are in max. It looks clear in game but then when I look at the screenshot it’s a little blurry. Anyone know how to fix this or a good addon to help with it?
print screen
open paint
paste
it is native resolution you’re playing at vs. the format blizzard screenshots make.

I’m pretty sure WoW compresses screenshots into super low quality jpegs.

More ways to bypass WoW’s screenshot capabilities in favor of those of your OS:
Windows 10
Press Shift⊞S to bring up the screenshot tool, choose full screen or part of screen, and capture.
macOS Mojave (10.14) and newer
Press ⌘Shift5 to bring up the screenshot tool, choose full screen or part of screen, and capture. This shortcut will also allow you to record your screen to a video file.
For both of these, if you want to draw on the resulting picture, click the thumbnail that pops up in the lower righthand portion of the screen. The file produced should be a high quality PNG.

Dang I’m old. I’ve always done it the old fashioned way and never even considered they already thought of this.
Thanks for the heads-up, LOL
You have to hold your mouth just right when you hit prntscrn.
I never knew about any of this, thanks for the info!
ALT+Z also gets rid of the UI, in case you didn’t know yet.
