How To Remove Everything From AQW Screenshots: Tutorials

To remove everything from AQW screenshots, open Settings, Advanced Options and enable “Hide UI,” “Hide Names,” and “Hide Players.” Collapse the chat window, then use Print Screen or Snipping Tool. This captures a clean image without HUD, names, or interface clutter.

Removing the on-screen interface in AdventureQuest Worlds (AQW) is useful when you want to capture clean screenshots for wallpapers, portfolios, or fan content.

AQW includes built-in tools to hide UI elements, adjust camera settings, and refine your screenshot quality. Follow the steps below to remove the HUD and take clean screenshots in both browser and Artix Launcher versions.

How to Hide the HUD in AdventureQuest Worlds

You can remove most on-screen elements using the in-game Advanced Options menu.

Step 1. Open the Settings menu and go to Advanced Options.
Step 2. Enable the following options as needed:

• Hide UI: Removes health bars, portraits, map name, and menu icons.
• Hide Names: Removes player and guild name tags. Hovering your cursor temporarily reveals them.
• Hide Players: Makes other players invisible, including their nameplates and shadows.
• Invisible Monsters: Removes monsters visually (they can still be attacked).
• Disable Quest Popups/Tracker: Hides quest notifications and tracker windows.
• Disable Damage Numbers/Animations: Removes damage text and skill visual effects for a cleaner frame.

Step 3. Collapse or disable the chat panel. You can use the new Chat UI Minimal Mode or manually hide the pane using the arrow icon.

These options will remove nearly all on-screen interface elements.

How to Position Your Character Before Taking the Screenshot

AQW includes camera tools to adjust pose and framing before capturing the image.

Step 1. Open the Camera Tool UI.
Step 2. Select a pose, emote, or scale adjustment if desired.
Step 3. Use the World Camera Zoom to zoom in or out and frame the scene.

Adjusting the camera ensures a clean and well-composed screenshot before capture.

How to Take the Screenshot

Once the UI is hidden and the camera is positioned, capture the screen using one of the available methods.

Step 1. Press Print Screen (PrtSc) to copy the entire screen.
Step 2. Paste the captured image into Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, or another editor.

Alternative shortcuts include:

• Win + Shift + S (Windows Snipping Tool)
• Win + Print Screen (auto-save to Pictures\Screenshots folder)
• Steam Screenshot Key (F12) if you play AQW through Steam

For faster workflow, tools like ShareX or LightShot can capture and save instantly, with optional annotation or cropping features.

Editing and Touching Up Your Screenshot

After capturing the image, you may want to clean minor leftover elements.

Step 1. Crop any remaining borders or UI fragments using an editor.
Step 2. Use eraser, clone stamp, or fill tools to remove small interface leftovers if necessary.
Step 3. Save your final cleaned screenshot as PNG for best quality.

If you plan to submit a screenshot to official contests, avoid editing, as rules require unaltered images.

Browser vs. Artix Launcher Display Differences

HUD removal works the same regardless of how you access AQW, but display size may vary.

Step 1. For the best resolution and full-screen support, use the Artix Game Launcher.
Step 2. If using a browser, press F11 to full-screen the browser for a wider frame.

The launcher typically produces cleaner full-screen output without sidebars.

Rules and Guidelines for Sharing Screenshots

AdventureQuest Worlds allows sharing gameplay screenshots for fan use.

Step 1. If sharing publicly, credit AQW or Artix Entertainment.
Step 2. Do not imply the image is official artwork or created by AQW staff.
Step 3. For contests or official submissions, screenshots must remain unedited.

Edits are normally acceptable for personal use, wallpapers, or fan projects.

To remove the HUD in AQW, use the in-game Advanced Options toggles, hide chat, position the camera, then capture your screen using built-in or external screenshot tools.

You can optionally edit the image afterward, depending on whether you’re using it for personal use or for official submission.
