Blurry screenshots when pasting from MacBook Pro to Outlook

Hello all,


First, apologies if this is already been discussed but I was not able to find any solution, anywehere.


I'm using a MacBook Pro 14, M3 - every time I'm trying to paste a screenshot, lets say from notes app to Outlook e-mail app, after the e-mail is send the SS is always blurry - this happens sometime when I ss excels to Power Point also.


I've tried taking SS with default, with apps, to save them, to put them first in PP then move it to Outlook, lastly I saved SS as PDF and after SS again from that - still no success.


Please - what am I missing?


Its for sure not about ss size, because I've attached a regular photo from my library and that one sends crisp clear.


Thanks for your support

What format do you have your Screen shots saved as...?


have you tried making a change and compare the results.


typically the default is png, but you can replace this with jpg, pdf, tiff, etc.


From the Terminal.app

You can see the default setting, copy and paste

defaults read com.apple.screencapture type



ex

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg  && killall SystemUIServer
