WoW Forever Screenshots: How to Take One and Where They Are Saved
Taking a screenshot in WoW Forever works the same way as in other modern WoW clients. Tested on the beta by Lynqoid on 7 October 2026.
Taking a screenshot
Press the Print Screen key (often labelled PRNT SCRN, near the top right of your keyboard). Holding Ctrl + Print Screen also takes one quickly.
Where screenshots are saved
On Windows with the default install location, screenshots go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Screenshots
If you installed WoW on a different drive, the same _classic_beta_\Screenshots folder will be inside that install instead. The folder name is for the beta client and may change at launch.
Improving screenshot quality
You can raise the quality by typing these two commands into the chat box:
/console screenshotformat jpg
/console screenshotquality 10The example screenshot above was taken this way and came out at 3840x2160.
