We try to have screenshots on our website for all games that we support. The purpose of this page is to describe how new screenshots are to be made to ensure uniform overall quality. In particular, what scaler you should use, how files should be named etc.
We try to have screenshots on our website for all games that we support. The purpose of this page is to describe how new screenshots are to be made to ensure uniform overall quality.


For each game, we would like to have a small (say, between 2 and 5) number of screenshots which give users a good idea of what the game looks like to play. If the game is available in different languages or versions, it would also be nice to have a screenshot or two showing the differences of those versions.

Take a look at our existing [http://scummvm.org/screenshots/lec/monkey/ screenshots of The Secret of Monkey Island] as an example.

|At the time most of our screenshots were taken, browsers could not properly scale pixel art, so small screenshots ended up looking distorted. Nowadays all modern browsers can scale images with a 1:1 pixel ratio, which means all our old screenshots with a hq2x scaler look distorted and don't represent the original art.
We're looking for re-submissions of all screenshots with a filter applied. If you own a game and want to take new screenshots, please submit non-scaled and aspect ratio corrected images.

* If possible, use the mkthumb.sh script to produce thumbnail versions of your screenshots. If you don't have it or can't use it, then save in interlaced JPEG scaled down to 256 pixel width with quality 0.33 (or higher, watch for the compression artifacts). Optionally you can commit/submit only PNG and TXT and we will create the thumbnails for you.
