How to Change the Image Format and Quality in Nimbus Screenshot

To change the saved image format in Nimbus Screenshot, open the extension’s settings and go to Image Settings > Format. Choose JPG or PNG. When JPG is selected, Nimbus also offers a quality setting. The precise route to the settings page can vary by browser or extension version, so look for the extension’s settings rather than relying on identical menu steps everywhere.

Change the format and JPG quality

1. Open Nimbus Screenshot’s settings in the browser where the extension is installed.
2. Find Image Settings, then locate the Format control.
3. Select the format you want: JPG or PNG.
4. If you selected JPG, adjust the quality using the available control.
5. Capture a screenshot and check the saved result.

Nimbus’s settings guide documents both JPG and PNG and says quality selection is available for JPG. It does not specify whether a separate Save or Apply button is required. If the setting does not appear to take effect, revisit the extension settings and check the selected format and quality.

What to check if a screenshot looks blurry

Nimbus’s troubleshooting guide recommends checking the screenshot quality setting when a capture looks blurry or inferior. Confirm that the quality is set as intended when JPG is selected, then make another capture to compare. The setting is a useful check, though it may not be the only possible cause of a blurry result.

Browser and version differences

Nimbus offers browser extensions, and its product materials refer to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. The available research does not confirm that the settings layout or feature availability is identical across those browsers or extension versions. If you cannot find the control, open the settings for the Nimbus extension installed in that browser and look specifically for Image Settings and Format.

Or skip the browser setup

If you need screenshots from code or an automated workflow, ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server. One GET request returns an image or PDF. Its capture flow accepts cookie and consent banners like a visitor, then removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before the shot; each step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, and responses identify the page verdict and billing status in headers. AI agents can use its MCP server tools to take screenshots, get page information, or capture PDFs.

For options and parameter details, see the ScreenshotNeo documentation.

Why do my Nimbus screenshots look blurry?
