Screenshots are saved as PNG by default — often 2-5 MB each. Convert to JPG to reduce size by 60-80% while keeping the image clear. Free, instant.
Why Convert Screenshots to JPG?
Screenshots in PNG format are unnecessarily large for most uses. A 3 MB PNG screenshot converts to ~500 KB as JPG — perfect for email, Slack, documentation, and web uploads.
When to keep PNG: If the screenshot contains text you'll zoom into, or if you need pixel-perfect accuracy for UI documentation.
When to convert to JPG: Sharing via email, chat, social media, or inserting into documents where file size matters.
