Why do beautified screenshots perform better?

A raw screenshot blends into the feed background. Padding and a coloured backdrop give the post a defined edge, which makes it read as a designed image rather than a dropped file.

Which ratio should I use?

16:9 for X and blogs, 4:5 for LinkedIn and Instagram because portrait images take more feed height, and 1:1 when you are unsure.

Does it reduce the screenshot's sharpness?

No. The screenshot is drawn at its native resolution and the canvas is sized around it, so text stays crisp.
