It is preferred to use pngs for screenshots rather than jpgs. We recommend a program such as GIMP to convert if needed. Thanks.

:Really? You want me to convert images that are jpg's on the official XY site (where I grab them from) to a png format? I've always thought that sort of thing was just misleading. If a file was saved as jpg, converting it to png won't increase the quality, which seems to me the reason for preferring png's. I suppose the [[Archives:FAQ#Someone mentioned that I shouldn't be using jpgs, why?|FAQ]] actually mentions thumbnails, but does that hold the same if you're converting the file from jpg ''to'' png, rather than saving it as png from the start?

::Yes, they should be converted even if it was a jpg from the original/official source. It makes them easier to replace with cleaner shots later. Additionally, please note that it isn't necessary to note that the image came from the official site in your file summaries either, it's good that you're sourcing, but we typically don't have external links in the file summaries.

- Really? You want me to convert images that are jpg's on the official XY site (where I grab them from) to a png format? I've always thought that sort of thing was just misleading. If a file was saved as jpg, converting it to png won't increase the quality, which seems to me the reason for preferring png's. I suppose the FAQ actually mentions thumbnails, but does that hold the same if you're converting the file from jpg to png, rather than saving it as png from the start?
