Can the screeenshots generated by selenium-shutterbug be saved with extension as jpg instead of png?

Question

Selenium-shutterbug (https://github.com/assertthat/selenium-shutterbug) saves screenshots as png, is there any way to save them as jpg?

For example:

Shutterbug.shootPage(driver,ScrollStrategy.WHOLE_PAGE_CHROME).withName(screenshotName).save(path);

... ***Why?!?*** PNG is usually a better format in which to store a screen shot. — Andrew Thompson, Jan 08 '19 at 02:34
@BMC it would be best to explain your reasons for having to use jpg to avoid people questioning why. — ChrisF, Jan 08 '19 at 11:30

As per the source code of Snapshot.java for selenium-shutterbug the variable EXTENSION is defined as:

private static final String EXTENSION = "PNG";

So using selenium-shutterbug you can't save the screenshot with extension as .JPG. It will be always saved in .PNG format.
