This is a simple guide on taking better screenshots in Team Fortress 2.

Taking a screenshot is simple by default. Press 'F5' and the image will appear as a TGA (Targa) in your \Steam\SteamApps\<username>\team fortress 2\tf\screenshots directory.

Hiding the heads up display

To hide the user interface heads up display, use the console command:

cl_drawhud 0

This command is regarded as a "cheat", so can only be used in local games. It can be used, regardless of server setting, when spectating via SourceTV.

Taking screenshots in JPG format

Simply bind the command:

jpeg

e.g:

bind "f5" "jpeg"

The compression quality can be changed using (value = 0-100):

jpeg_quality "[value]"
