When capturing windows+prtsc, Is there any way to save screenshot file at jpg, not png-default setting?

All of the explanations of this only says convert png to jpg after captured.

That's not the answer I wanted.

I want to set windows built-in screenshot default value png to jpg.

If it's impossible, then I'd also like to know what converter recommended ( .exe available, reliable, good quality when converting)

  • p.s.

I have to use it offline, so It has to be portable, which means exe or something,

I tried to install photoscape x, reliable, good quality, but have to download at microsoft store, there is no ways to download without microsoft store except via CNET and softonic (official site)

photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php

But I’ve heard both sites are not reliable, not only because of its contents, but also the reliability of the site itself (malicious ads, or adding malwares into exe files?), that makes me hesitate, but can I download via them?

    Then, Is there any specific shortcut in snipping tools like prtsc+win?

    I’d like to capture entire screen with clicking only one shortcut

    Hi, I am Dhanam, Independent Advisor here to work with you on this issue.

    I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    Currently, Print Screen is designed to only have .png as the default file format. What I can suggest is to use snipping tools. With this tool, you can directly crop any part of the screen and save it as a jpeg.

    This will lessen at least half of the work when using the Print screen Key on the keyboard.

    To use Snipping Tool

    Click Startmenu> type snipping tool and click it.

    On the Snipping tool click New, then start cropping any part of the screen that you want to save. Then go to file and click save as. On the save as type, choose JPEG. Then click save

    I hope you find this useful. Do not hesitate to get back to us if you need further assistance. I am more than happy to help
