In Xcode 7.1 Simulator, when using ⌘+s to save screenshot to desktop, it saves the actual size of the simulator. For example, iPhone 6 Plus 100% scale simulator save screenshots as 1242 x 2208; 25% scale simulator save screenshots as 310 x 552.

Is there a way to make the simulator scale to 25% but still get original size of 1242 x 2208? The 100% simulator is just too huge on a 13" screen.

It used to save as original size regardless scale level, but in Xcode 7.1 it's no longer the case.

Uncheck "Optimize Rendering for Window Scale" option from "Debug" menu, if you want to save screenshot of actual device size 🖼📲 from iOS simulator.

Happy Programming!! 😀😊
