jpg with 80% compression, via krita.

As B0rax said, for screenshots, png is better - it can represent line graphics and text more efficiently.

Thanks for this. Still, I would be curious to see this for a 4K level image. Also I wonder if your screenshot tool did a bitmap copy of the screen or intrinsically converted it to PNG first before pasting it into your paint editor.
