We make it sound!
Recently, I ran into trouble trying to capture a nice screenshot of a web application.
I tried different browsers, tweaked every setting I could find, and spent hours searching the Internet.
The results remained disappointing: the image size was off, and all my beautiful pixels looked blurry.
Trying to resize the screenshot only made things worse. Don’t even bother!
As I later (mysteriously) discovered, the problem wasn’t with the browsers at all.
In fact, you can open any image in a graphics editor, take its screenshot, and paste it next to the original.
You’ll see the same issue: the screenshot never matches the original.
The culprit lies in Windows display settings.
Go to: Control Panel » System » Display » Scale and layout » Change the size of text, apps, and other items.
Most likely, the scaling is set to the default 125%.
Change it to 100%, and the problem is solved. You don’t even need to restart Windows!
Normally, I set resolution back to the default once I'm done with the screenshots. Perhaps, I've got used to the dafault look...
To be honest, I haven’t checked whether the same issue exists on other operating systems, but if it does, it must have a similar solution.
Anyway, I hope this little tip can save you 40 minutes or so of frustration :)
