    We can ask the same the other way around: why do you want to use jpg if it results in a bigger size and worse quality than png?

      But that’s patently untrue: take this 10 MB example TIFF file as an example.

      • PNG Compression, max compress (=quality 9):

        convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 9 test.png

      • JPG Encoding, 99% quality (=quality 99):

        convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 99 test.jpg

      Final file size comparison:

      9.7M Sep  5 13:21 file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff
1.7M Sep  5 13:22 test.jpg
2.5M Sep  5 13:22 test.png

      PNG is significantly larger, and difference in quality between them is negligible

        Dude. Did you even read what I wrote? PNG is bad for photos. Your example is a photo. Go ahead and try the same with a screenshot with text and menus showing.

        png - jpg

        jpg with 80% compression, via krita.

        As B0rax said, for screenshots, png is better - it can represent line graphics and text more efficiently.

          Thanks for this. Still, I would be curious to see this for a 4K level image. Also I wonder if your screenshot tool did a bitmap copy of the screen or intrinsically converted it to PNG first before pasting it into your paint editor.
