Mine only does that after I open Snipping Tool and choose to save by clicking the floppy disk icon but even then I can make the choice for .jpg or a couple others. Looking in the Snipping Tool I don't find a setting for changing that.

PrintScreen is PNG only, because JPEG compression can cause image blurring. Some users like AutoHotkey to run a script which saves JPEG format (look on Google).

:think: PrintScreen defaults to bitmap in the clipboard. It is the simplest image format there is.
