What? Png's (portable network grahpic) are WAY smaller than jpeg's because they have less colors in them (among other things). That is why when people make websites most of the images are uploaded as PNG's to keep the load times down.

It depends on the amount of colors and how big the screen shots are. Most of my WOM screen shots are over 700kb.

You must be doing MAJOR optimization.

JPG is a lossy compression format while PNG is a lossless compression format. PNG images therefore contain ALL the data about an image (including support for transparency) while a JPG compresses an image while losing some data but does so in a way that is (usually) unnoticeable to the human eye.

If you compress a jpeg a lot then of course it will be smaller than a PNG. Jpegs can handle quite a bit more colors (16.7 mil to be exact) But take my sig for example, If i save it as a jpeg at max quality it comes out to 73.6kb, if i save it as a png max quality it comes out to 58.2. Like i said it all comes down to compression.EDIT: So my first post was wrong because i failed to realize while converting it, it was getting compressed as well.

Instead, programs such as paint use a fair amount of compression when saving a JPG and therefore (usually) result in a smaller file size.For example, I saved your sig using paint as a PNG and as a JPG. The result was a 17.3KB JPG and a 73.6KB PNG.To get back on topic, why not just leave your files as the larger PNGs and upload them to a site such as www.imgur.com? You can save yourself the extra step of having to convert themJust a suggestion, awesome creation though
