<div dir="ltr">Hmm. Yeah. I was able to get it down to 500k using IrfanView with the PNGOUT plugin, but I see your point. Saving to JPG though really hurts the quality of that menu text at the top. Makes it fuzzy, sort of thing.<div>

File sizes afterwards were 168k for the .jpg. 538k for the .png. I think allowing a "screenshot.jpg" would definitely be better in this situation.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>There's a couple of reasons that we're only checking for PNG right now, and adding JPG wouldn't be hard, but yikes, what is in this image that causes it to be so big?<div>
<br>
</div><div>PNGs are generally better for computer generated graphics, like the sorts of things you'd find in a screenshot of a website. JPGs are lossy and only thus make sense for actual photographic images, where the loss isn't nearly as noticeable. Also, JPGs perform somewhat worse on lower resolution text, like you'd expect to see on a website.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I'm guessing you have a big photo prominent on the theme screenshot somewhere. While I'm not against that on the whole, I'd ask whether or not having a big photo really showcases the theme well... and also if you have proper rights on the image to do that, but just as a safety check, sort of thing.</div>
