Suddenly my iPhone version 11.2.6 is taking all pics in PNG format. I checked that the Settings/Camera/Formats is set to most compatible
and that the Settings/Photos/Transfer to Mac or PC is set to automatic but am still seeing the photo properties once emailed to a PC as PNG.
This is proving an issue for me.
How can I ensure that the format the pic is taken is is JPG?
Thanks
Gerry
Screenshots i.e pictures of the iPhone's screen, are taken in PNG format. It's a pretty universal format that all computers and most all devices understand and can display. There is no way to change this, and its always been this way.
What issues are you having with PNG exactly?
Photos taken with the Camera App, are in JPEG or HEIC, not PNG. There's no setting for PNG for those types of photos.

Screen shots will always be PNG. All photos taken with the camera will be JPG, unless you go to Settings/Camera - Formats and choose High Efficiency. But High Efficiency will make the photos HEIF, not png.
That is not what is happening. Pics I take with the iPhone and email to myself to my laptop have the properties listed as PNG.
Camera setting is set to most compatible and the Photo settings is set to always automatically convert.
I asked my wife to take some pics and email to me.
All PNG.
I am doing everything the way I always have.
Select the pic which puts that little blue checkmark in the pic.
Select the little square box with the little arrow sticking out at the top of the box.
Select Mail and my default client for outgoing email is a defined Yahoo.com email address.
Windows laptop, right click on the photo and select properties.

OK believe I've found the issue, maybe.
I was sending it to my main account on Fastmail.
When it arrived in my Fastmail inbox I had the choice of saving it as either PNG or bitmap.
I tried sending the pic to my Outlook email which I accessed on the Web on my laptop.
Voila JPG.
Seems to ne a Fastmail thing.
Thanks

How are you emailing the pictures?
What steps are you following to attach them to the email?
What App are you using to email them?
How are you checking the properties on the computer?
Windows or Mac?
Glad you figured it out. If you save the photo as PNG, then yes the format is changed.
Not sure why Fastmail does not save as is.
Pics taken on iPhone are always png
