Practical guidance
Balance JPG quality and file size when converting video frames
JPG works best for photographic video frames with natural texture and gradual color changes. The default quality of 88 is a practical starting point: it usually keeps visible detail while producing files that are easier to share than PNG. Inspect text, faces, and fine patterns before lowering the quality further.
JPG is a lossy format, so repeated editing and saving can add artifacts. Keep a PNG master when a frame will undergo heavy editing, or export the final JPG once the composition is ready. Setting a smaller maximum width can reduce file size more predictably than aggressive compression while preserving the source aspect ratio.
Example: to find a thumbnail in a 1920 x 1080 interview, limit the range to the strongest minute, sample one frame every eight seconds, set the maximum width to 1280, and compare JPG quality 82 with 88. This produces a small set of candidates that is quick to review while keeping faces and background texture clear enough for a cover image.
