bawar Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hi. Is there any option to change default saving file type from .png to .jpg? Or better - to remember by Paint.NET last file type used? So if I save last file as .jpg file, during next "Save as..." .jpg will show as default saving file type. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 +1, I save as JPG with high quality % when I take things off the web for screensavers (to give a real-world concrete case). Better than random formats like webp with its shaky support (still!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, from the FAQ: Quote Can I change the default save format to JPG? No, jpeg is a "lossy" format. That is, every time you open a jpeg and save it, you're losing quality. This is like making a photocopy of a photocopy, etc. PNG and PDN, on the other hand, are exact formats. You can open and save them as often as you like without losing a single pixel of quality. So, paint.net defaults to PNG format for single layer images and PDN for multiple layer projects. If you want to save as jpeg, you need to choose it by hand. This ensures that you won't lose quality in your image unless you specifically choose to do so.
