How can I fix incorrect screenshot bounds on high-DPI displays?
Check Windows display scaling and test one monitor at a time before changing application compatibility options.
How to do it on Windows
Check Windows display scaling and test one monitor at a time before changing application compatibility options. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Inspect scale percentage on each monitor in Display settings.
- Step 2. Take a region capture on a single monitor and compare its borders.
- Step 3. Apply Windows updates and test a current stable Greenshot release.
How to verify the result
Selected region dimensions should align with the visible rectangle. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
