What is the best way to transfer screenshots from the switch?

I've been uploading my screenshots to a private twitter account so far, but that's of course very slow and I think you don't get the full resolution in your pictures as well? So I've been thinking of what to do. I think most people just take out the microSD card and put it in their computer right? But that thing is so flimsy, I get kind of nervous thinking about doing that regularly. I know you can transfer stuff to your phone and I think use a cable somehow as well, but I didn't look into it yet.

What method do you use to move your screenshots and how is that working out for you?

Hey! I used facebook, I upload them privately and then get them back on the computer from the account. It's a bit slow because you can only upload so many but it works and that's what i've been using, you can also use a twitter account if that's more your thing.
 
I use the qr codes to transfer to my phone. It can sometimes be challenge to get it to scan the code but I always manage. You could also try taking a picture of the screen shot with your phone but idk how that would look
 
Try using Twitter, by linking your Twitter account to the Switch account. Then you have to pick which photo you want to post. Then when its posted on twitter go on your computer and right click the image on twitter to download it to your desktop. Then you can post your screenshot to any website you want to show off. Hope this helps.
 
I use the QR codes to scan with my phone from there I can then send them to my phone to whatever platform I want. It must be a new system cause I swear when I first got the game and tried this it was a lot harder.
 
i used to upload to twitter since i could never get the qr code thing to work, but i finally figured out how to make it work, and i use that the most. the quality is only slightly better than twitter but to me, its worth it
 
I used to use the QR code feature to take screens but for some reason my iPhone won’t connect to my Switch to be able to scan my QR code anymore, so I haven’t been able to take proper screens and have had to just take pictures of the screen with my phone now if I really need to.
 
I was never sure how to do this, so all of the pictures I’ve taken have been snapped from my phone with the best quality as you can get from that method. I just thought it wasn’t possible otherwise for me because at that point, I didn’t have WiFi or a computer. I thought you needed one or the other, or both. 😅 However, snapping pictures with my phone’s camera does the job I need it to, so I haven’t complained.
 
I use the qr code function and it works for me if you don't have or forgot to bring an sd card reader.
