> Captures a screenshot of the game view into a Texture2D object.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.ScreenCaptureModule

## CaptureScreenshotAsTexture()

Captures a screenshot of the game view into a Texture2D object.

```csharp
public static Texture2D CaptureScreenshotAsTexture()
```

### Returns

| Type                                                                  | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [Texture2D](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/texture2d.md) |             |

### Remarks

When `superSize` parameter is larger than 1, a larger resolution screenshot will be produced. For example, passing 4 will make the screenshot be 4x4 larger than it normally would. This is useful to produce screenshots for printing.

**Important**: To ensure reliable results, always wait until the frame rendering process is complete before calling this method. To guarantee this, you can call it from a coroutine that yields on [WaitForEndOfFrame](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/waitforendofframe.md).

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScreenShotter : MonoBehaviour
{
    IEnumerator RecordFrame()
    {
        yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
        var texture = ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture();
        // do something with texture

        // cleanup
        Object.Destroy(texture);
    }

    public void LateUpdate()
    {
        StartCoroutine(RecordFrame());
    }
}
```

## CaptureScreenshotAsTexture(int)

Captures a screenshot of the game view into a Texture2D object.

```csharp
public static Texture2D CaptureScreenshotAsTexture(int superSize)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[int]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.int32)): Factor by which to increase resolution.

### Returns

| Type                                                                  | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [Texture2D](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/texture2d.md) |             |

    {
        yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
        var texture = ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture();
        // do something with texture

        // cleanup
        Object.Destroy(texture);
    }

    public void LateUpdate()
    {
        StartCoroutine(RecordFrame());
    }
}
```

## CaptureScreenshotAsTexture(StereoScreenCaptureMode)

Captures a screenshot of the game view into a Texture2D object.

```csharp
public static Texture2D CaptureScreenshotAsTexture(ScreenCapture.StereoScreenCaptureMode stereoCaptureMode)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[StereoScreenCaptureMode]\(/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/screencapture/stereoscreencapturemode)): Specifies the eye texture to capture when stereo rendering is enabled.

### Returns

| Type                                                                  | Description |
