I know many ways to take screenshots.

I personally use Galdwin Print screen but when I post the images on any of blogs, the quality doesn't look very good at all.

Check out this image:

I have used some other software too but none of them gave me the desired result.

Are there any better ways to take good quality screenshots?

You have saved the image as a JPEG. Save it without compression, or save it as a .PNG file. Gadwin supports this. The compression is the cause of the "ugly" pictures.

I Guess You are Right. JPEG is actually Compressing my images hence affecting the quality..Let me check it by uploading png n Jpg together. – Sangram Nov 1 '11 at 17:40

If you are using Windows 7/Vista you can use "Snipping-Tool" which comes inbuilt in Windows OS.

Select the window you wish to take the screenshot of. Press ALT+PrintScreen on your keyboard. Open Microsoft Paint. Edit -> Paste -> Save

This method takes a screenshot of the selected window, nothing else. Works on all windowed applications. PNG is an excellent format for screenshots.

If you want to grab a screenshot of a webpage, use a Firefox add-on called FireShot. It's efficient, simple to use, and best of all, free!
