What are some of the points that I need to follow if I want to have good quality images in a LaTeX document. These images are mostly screenshots of a software application or flow charts.
Below are two such images.

JPG: Best choice if we want to insert photos PNG: Best choice if we want to insert diagrams (if a vector version could not be generated) and screenshots PDF: Even though we are used to seeing PDF documents, a PDF can also store images EPS: EPS images can be included using the epstopdf package (we just need to install ...
All Answers (10) you need to get pictures in . eps format or anyother vector formay which give you high quality images in latex.
Including images in your LaTeX document requires adding: \usepackage{graphicx} to the beginning/preamble of your document. \includegraphics{ } command tells LaTeX to insert the image. To upload an image, click the upload button, and upload your image file.
When an image is pasted into LaTeX, this package creates a directory including the image and inserts a figure including the image path into the document.
For diagrams, the rule is to use vector formats as much as you can — PDF, EPS or native LaTeX packages. When using vector graphics, the picture does not loose resolution and can be scaled freely. For a flow chart, I would either export it from the drawing application as a PDF, or use PGF/Tikz to produce it from LaTeX (see also examples). If your drawing application does not have a PDF export, consider using one that does — e.g., UMLet.
If you can't use vector graphics (e.g., because it is a screenshot), make sure you use high-enough resolution to begin with. If it is an academic paper, the publisher usually has guidelines for this.
