Screenshot saved as JPEG

[MartinAB]

I only use OBS for taking screenshots from 4K webcam. However, each PNG is almost 5 MB and manually converting to JPG is an unnecessary extra few steps. It would really help to automate the process if there was an option to save directly to JPEG. Thank you.

I think the answer is 'no'
I got around it by using streamer.bot
I made an obs-raw sub-action and it allows you to specify the image format
Did my disk space the world of good!

This is my streamer.bot obs-raw sub-action
I use height and width variables as i use the same subaction for landscape and portrait images

I just solved and issue with a discord webhook not liking .png files because they are too large.

I setup and action in StreamerBot, which saves an OBS screenshot, and I just put .JPG on the end of the filepath where the screenshot will be saved (same as recordings by default anyway)

So OBS wants to save a screenshot as a .png BUT StreamerBot sets the file type to .jpg when it sets the file name.

This creates jpg screenshots which are much smaller, so they can be posted as discord messages in my photography section without going over the 10mb per image limit discord has.
