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.

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. | |||

'''Don'ts:''' | |||
# Use an image that has been scaled up with a filter | |||
# Avoid scaling down unless absolutely necessary, if you do scale down, always scale proportionally and try both Nearest Neighbor or Lancoze to see what looks better | |||
# Keep shadows. Shadows will be done dynamically in CSS. | |||
'''Dos:''' | |||
# Start with our icon [https://www.scummvm.org/images/icons/frame.png template] to frame your icon. The image should be centered on the white dot and never flow outside the black rectangle. | |||
# Be creative | |||
# Pick a distinguishable image from the game or series. Either a sprite of the main character, a portrait, or a recognizable item/icon from the game | |||
# Scale up as needed. Only scale up in 2x increments using Nearest Neighbor to preserve pixel art | |||
# Have sprites and portraits face to the right | |||
# Erase necessary pixels around the object | |||
# Save the result as PNG | |||
