High Quality Website Screenshots with Device Pixel Ratio (DPR)

Elevate your website screenshots to the next level by adjusting the device pixel ratio (DPR). Increasing the DPR enhances image quality, making them ideal for various purposes, including printing.

Default DPR and Customization Options

By default, screenshots are captured with a DPR value of 1, which corresponds to 100% zoom. However, with our plans, you have the flexibility to adjust the DPR:

  • Starter Plan: DPR 1 (standard image size)
  • Pro Plan: DPR 2
  • Enterprise Plan: DPR 3 (large image size)

Each increment in DPR produces higher resolution screenshots, ensuring sharper details and clearer text.

Examples of Different DPR Settings

Let's explore how DPR affects screenshot quality with examples:

DPR 1

With a DPR set to 1, you get a standard-sized screenshot with clear details suitable for most applications.
