See the Image Standards section below for more details. For example, you may want to crop out unnecessary parts of the image, change the image to a square image (for NPC images), or change the brightness/contrast in order to make the subject more visible. While you are converting the file, you can also consider editing the file. For Windows, Microsoft Paint is the simplest option-just open and then 'Save as' selecting. Before uploading, you must convert the files to a more web-friendly format JPG is the standard for screenshots. BMP format is not supported by web browsers, and the files are very large in size. When you capture a screenshot, the image may be saved as a BMP file. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 users can create both screenshots and videos using built-in technology on the consoles. Note that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users cannot directly create screenshots (without hardware modifications) however, it is possible to capture quality screenshots and video using a Video Capture Card.
