This is not an issue with the editor but with your operating system, and it's not really an issue either. I don't know what operating system you're using, but I'm using macOS and here screenshots are saved as PNG files by default.

When you use the "print screen" button, your operating system is taking a copy of your screen as a binary image into your clipboard. Most modern web browsers allow you to paste that binary stream into the editor (and in the case of our software, that paste is turned into an upload).

There is no way to control what type of image file your operating system produces in this case. It is possible to convert the image type on the server, but there's really no reason to do so, so we don't.

In short - there's no real way for us to control this behavior. You can check with Apple/Microsoft/Whoever makes your OS to see if there are any controls as to what kind of file is produced when you hit the print screen button.

Ok, thanks a lot.
