Why not JPG?
RTC use only BMP files, and they are too heavy when you try made some new custom graphics. This program should use more graphics formats like JPG.

JPG is a terrible format to use for game assets due to artifacting/averaging that happens during the compression process and it's not used in any game anywhere that I can think of except for pre-rendered backdrops such as Resident Evil.
Absoutely awful for game assets that need to be scaled. NO NO NO!
With compressible PNGs and the compressions that RTC can make on BMPs, we don't need any more formats in my opinion. Yes, JPEGs would be smaller than equivalent PNGs, but they'll look awful.
