What to know before exporting

Quality and file size
JPG is lossy. The presets are encoder settings, and the resulting file size depends on the scene and your browser.
Export dimensions
Keep Original size or choose a smaller size to preserve proportions. The PNG stored in the frame library stays intact.

Frequently asked questions

Which JPG setting should I start with?

Try Balanced for a cover image. Inspect small text and hard edges at the intended size, then compare High or PNG if the details matter.

Will every JPG be smaller than a PNG?

The result depends on the picture, dimensions and settings. Compare both formats on the same frame at the same size.
