Hi,

What's the process for changing screenshot format in W10?
PNG is too big to be useful.

Any tips gratefully received.

Cheers,

If you're talking about the snipping tool, just select the format.

No, not the snipping tool, just the print screen button.
Want to save as JPEG, save having to convert afterwards.
THanks
