I want to add buttons in my archviz program that saves screenshots at different resolutions (regardless of the game’s window size), in a directory of my choosing.

- F9: Save screenshot at 1920x1080
- F10: Save screenshot at 3840x2160
- F11: Save screenshot at 7680x4320

One option is the HighResShot console command, but that doesn’t works in Shipping builds, and doesn’t lets you choose the file path.

Another is `FScreenshotRequest::RequestScreenshot()`, but that doesn’t lets you choose the resolution.

Any other option?

Actually, HighResShot console command does works in shipping builds, but still doesn’t lets you choose the destination. It always saves on LocalAppData/ProjectName/Saved/Screenshots.

Any solutions to this? in regards to choosing the file destination?

You can do high res screenshot from viewport:

> **[FViewport::HighResScreenshot](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/FViewport/HighResScreenshot/)**
>
> Take a high-resolution screenshot and save to disk.

And you can access high res screen shot configuration using this global function:

> **[GetHighResScreenshotConfig](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/GetHighResScreenshotConfig/)**

GetHighResScreenshotConfig().SetResolution(width, height, 200.f);

GetHighResScreenshotConfig().FilenameOverride = fileFullpath = FPaths::ProjectDir() / TEXT(“Snapshots”) / fileName;

FScreenshotRequest::RequestScreenshot(false);

you can define your file path and name with filename= “your file path and name”

HighResShot 1920x1080 filename=filepath+filename.png
