JPEG is not a good choice for UI/typography screenshots. There are ~1MB of JPEGs at quality 50 on the page. By using PNG8 not only you can halve that size but also preserve original quality. Example:
[1] PNG24 199 144 bytes
[2] JPEG 94 699 bytes
[3] PNG8 47 155 bytes

- matejlatin 8y agoThanks for sharing this, will make sure to use PNG8 in the future!
- microcolonel 8y agoNot to mention [1] could be almost halved size if run through the default (fast) options of optipng (or just compressed properly by whatever generated it).

- spiralx 8y agoThat annoyed me as well, seems like the worst possible choice of format and quality for the given images.
