I'm using imagepipe from fdroid, into webp format, keeping aspect ratio. Most of my posts don't need high res imagery anyway, just something to get the message across. What do you use?

For simple online consumption? Yes, definitely. PNG is even worse than JPEG for this.

PNG usefulness is for those cases where you really really really need lossless compression, which would mostly be professional printing, or really high quality stuff (wallpapers, etc).
