How do I increase the quality of my WoW screenshots? I post em on disc and they look kind of fried but when my friend post em they look CRYSTAL clear. How do I change that?

There used to be a command but I’ve forgotten it…
Something like
/screenshotquality, and then a number after it.
Search for it
from Wowhead:
/console screenshotQuality 10
The default is 3/10.

That’s pretty cool! I never knew that before.
Does it stay like that or do I have to enter that command every time I log in?
I believe you have to retype that on login, unless you add it the launcher config file for wow or something? Cant confirm that.
I would just make a macro out of it.

You can also use your operating system’s screenshot facilities instead of WoW’s, which saves a lossless quality PNG on your desktop. Windows has had this feature since Windows 10 I think, and macOS has done this since 2001.
EDIT:
-
Windows 10: Press Windows + Shift + S.
-
macOS: Press Command + Shift + 3.

Thanks for the info. I’m gonna do more research on these /console commands.
my win 10 just needs the Windows button + print screen button to screen shot.
youre definitely right… though. It takes a really good shot of the screen.
When I press printscreen, WoW takes a crappy screenshot and Windows takes a lossless screenshot and puts it on the clipboard. I then open up Gimp and paste from the clipboard and then export to whichever file type I want.
