Change screen shot to JPG

Recommended Posts

I did a search, But came up empty. Is there a way to change a setting so the screen shots saved in the skyrim folder, (The "print sceen" Not the "F12" saves) to Jpg not bmp? I take alot of them and seems kinda silly to save 5.04 MB bmp vs 250 KB JPG.

Thanks in advance for any help

Why not using Bandicam?

The "normal" way can't save your screenshots in another format as far as I'm knowing.

If you want to take some money, FRAPS is really worth the money (at least from my viewpoint).

Anyway it should be noted that even with that screenshots with an target towards quality shouldn't be taken directly to a jpg (compression).

@ Gunthral, I got Bandicam. Works pretty good, Don't do the video thing, But the screen shot works great and saves in JPG. Thanks

@ Rabbit51, I went to the link you provided. Took me there, But as with any

"FREE" download looks like you get the addded feature (Download.com, Fileforum, Techspot, Ect.) I myself would rather pay to install a program then have unwanted programs on my computer. But thanks for the link. Do you know of one that will batch convert without the added stuff?

Again thanks for the help

@ Rabbit51 I decided to try the IrfanVeiw program (Just did it on a computer I don't use much) and am very impressed. It will take 20/30/40 files at a time and convert all from BMP to JPG at one time and fast like.......a rabbit. If I don't get much interference while using, Might try it on my game computer, better then transferring the files back and forth.

Thanks a bunch

I know this is a bit late but I'll post this anyway for anyone (like me) who tries to find an answer to this question via google and ended up here.

 

After a lot of searching I found out if you use ENB, there should be a file in the FO4 (or Skyrim etc) folder called enblocal.ini

In there you go to the bottom where it says

[FILE]
ScreenshotFormat=0

And change "0" to "2"

 

I can't make promises of course, but this should work. Now FO4 saves screenshots automatically as jpegs (eventhough in-game it still says "screenshot saved as ____.png). I hope this helps at least some people out.
