Format choice
Why PNG is the best default for Garmin screenshots
PNG preserves sharp UI edges, small labels, icons, watch face details, and Connect IQ app screens without lossy compression. If the screenshot is going into a listing, release note, support article, or framed mockup, PNG should usually be the first output.
Garmin workflow
A file converter is only one part of the screenshot workflow.
Garmin screenshots often need context after conversion: a device frame, consistent canvas size, background, padding, export preset, and a repeatable way to prepare multiple app screenshots.
That is why this page connects generic BMP conversion terms with the Garmin-specific JiaKe.app workflow.
- Capture screenshots on the Garmin device.
- Copy the BMP files from the watch or local folder.
- Convert to lossless PNG for the target use case.
- Use JiaKe.app when the screenshot needs a framed publishing layout.

Is PNG better than JPG for Garmin screenshots?
PNG is better when UI text, icons, and watch face pixels need to stay clean. JPG is better only when smaller file size matters more than lossless quality.
