Convertior guide

Best file format for screenshots

Choose the right format for screenshots with text, apps, websites and photos.

PNG is usually best

Screenshots often contain text, interface edges and flat colors. PNG keeps these details crisp.

When JPG can work

JPG can be acceptable for screenshot-like images that are mostly photographic, but it can blur text and interface details.

WebP can reduce size

WebP may be useful for publishing screenshots online because it can reduce file size while preserving good visual quality.

Avoid over-compression

Compressed screenshots can make text harder to read. Preview the final result at normal viewing size.

Privacy check

Before sharing screenshots, check for personal information, account names, notifications, browser tabs or private data.
