pngs are in every way superior in quality to jpgs, I do not see why you'd ever want that.

Go to Steam (left corner of client window) > SETTINGS > pop up window for IN-GAME. Unclick 'save an uncompressed copy'.

Funny, I just went and turned mine ON because I'd like the quality a little better.

?

Copying from where? You asked about screenshots. Zek told you how to either save them or not in higher quality.

What does that have to do with "copying" anything?

What are you copying?

Do you realize that some programs 'save as', right? Meaning even if you're opening a jpg, it might get saved as a png.

The screenshots are saved in Steam \ userdata \ your number here \ 760 \ remote \ game ID folders here << -- LOOK in those folders. That's where Steam's UI saves them when you click F12.

Any OTHER locations - you have to manually have set up. If you're looking at 'my documents' and other spots around with SPECIFIC game names on them, those folders are from the GAME publisher's screenshot saving format, and aren't controlled by Steam.

Are you running the client window, or using a browser? There will absolutely be a tick box. Are you for some reason trying to use a different older version of the Steam client? that might mess it up?

*will edit this with screenshot*

Hopefully that will help.
