What is resolution?
Resolution is a measure used to describe the sharpness and clarity of an image or picture. It is often used as a metric for judging the quality of monitors, printers, digital images, and other software technologies. The units used are pixels and ordered as follows: width x height, for example, 1024 x 768 = 1024 pixels width per 768 pixels height.
Taking high resolution screenshots
1. What resolution do I need?
Screenshots rely on the display resolution, the higher the display resolution, the better the screenshot quality.
To get a screenshot with high resolution, go to your control panel and check your display settings, and increase the display resolution to the highest possible.
If you have several screens, use the one with the highest resolution to take your screenshot.
Depending on how you are going to use your screenshot, the minimum resolution needed for good quality will vary.
For printed material, it is commonly recommended to have a 300 dpi pixel density.
Pixel Calculator can help you calculate the resolution needed for your usage.
