The Bitmape has a "Save" method where you can define the Format. Hope it helps! All the best, Martin

  int screenWidth = Screen.GetBounds(new Point(0, 0)).Width; 
  int screenHeight = Screen.GetBounds(new Point(0, 0)).Height;

  Bitmap screenShot = new Bitmap(screenWidth, screenHeight);

  Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage((Image)screenShot);  
  gfx.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, new Size(screenWidth, screenHeight));  
  
  screenShot.Save(@"C:\\YourScreenShot.jpg");

By the way, what are you trying to do?? I saw your posts here in the forum since February and it looks like you're trying to develop some sort of a Trojan/ hacking application.. Just hopping we're helping in that:~

Hello, Maybe you could try to use: System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png Format instead of JPEG It's amazing how good the quality is. Hope it helps! All the best, Martin
