If you screenshot computer/phone interfaces (text, buttons, lots of flat colors with adjacent pixels the exact same color), the default PNG algorithm does a great job of keeping the file size small. If you screenshot a photograph, though, the PNG algorithm makes the file size huge, because it’s just really poorly optimized for re-encoding images that are already JPG.
I have never had a screenshot exceeding 40 MB. That is humongous.

What if I want to screenshot my cocaine-fueled rant to my ex and mistakenly send it to said ex instead of my homies?
