  • I think you're looking at the wrong direction. It isn't the screenshot capture that is or isn't JPG, it's the fact that the Windows Clipboard always encodes pictures in it as PNG. If you open a JPG in a photo viewer copy it to clipboard (not the file in explorer, but the actual image from the viewer) it will also then paste as PNG. Commented Jul 6, 2023 at 20:25
