: Unpixelated Screenshot images I have some work to showcase: images which are screenshots of work which are online. However when arranging these screenshot images in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign,

If the work you are showcasing is a web site, a screen shot is perfectly acceptable. Yes, it will be pixelated. This is expected and no one would expect otherwise.

If you have screenshot software such as SnagIt for Windows or SnapzPro for the MacOS you can set the screenshot to be enlarged.

I customarily take screenshots at 400%.

You can then place the screenshots into Indesign, or Illustrator, and reduce the images there. This essentially increases the pixel density of the images.

If using Photoshop you can easily resize the image with Resample unchecked and get a higher PPI image which appear much cleaner when printing. If you do need to resample the image, using the Nearest Neighbor resampling method often result in the best quality.

In Photoshop, scaling in multiple of 25% offers better quality (at 25%, 50%, 75%).

InDesign handles images different than Photoshop, so make sure that images are set to 100% quality when in edit and preview mode.
