Windows 10: How to automatically save a screenshot on OneDrive as a .JPG file and not a .PNG file

Hi. I have the option to automatically save screenshots on OneDrive enabled in my OneDrive settings on Windows 11. On pressing the PrtScr print screen button the screenshot gets saved as a .PNG file in the OneDrive Screenshots folder. Is there a way to save the screenshot automatically as a .JPG file when the PrtScr button is used to save screenshots?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you want to save the screenshots taken using Prtscn directly to OneDrive.



We would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

Utilities that I run can no longer automatically save files to my OneDrive

Hi Alan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To set OneDrive as your default location to save your documents and files, follow the below steps.

1. Click on the OneDrive icon from the Taskbar area > Click on the menu button (three-dots) on the top-right corner > Click on
   Settings > Go to the Auto Save tab.
2. Using the drop-down menu, select OneDrive for
   Desktop, Documents, and Pictures and click on
   OK.
3. Once you complete the above steps, restart the computer once and try saving the files generated from utilities and check if it is saving in
   C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\Documents folder.
