Just for your information: 
jpeg and png images are usually compressed
in a way that they will not be compressed anymore by other more
generic compression algorithms.

For schreenshots I recommend to not use jpgs, 
as the compression artifacts often make the lesser viewing experience,
unless you have natural images like from a foto camera.
