Plot save as jpg error

Hello.

I am using 2020b version MATLAB, and have plot save issue.

When I plot a graph and try to save it as jpg file, there rises the proble. It saves ok for most times, but ocasionally (about once a five times) MATLAB will just shut down. It usually works well when I restart MATLAB.

After the shutdown, when I check the directory that I tried to save the jpg plot, empty file is saved.

What might be the possible reason for this? Maybe hardware issue? I am using laptop with I5 CPU and 8GB RAM.

Thank you.

Who knows the reason - you didn't tell us what the error said. It doesn't really matter anyway, because you should not be using JPG anyway. I mean, who wants to deal with lousy compression artifacts? Save the file as PNG, which is pretty much the new standard these days. It's a lossless compression scheme and will give better looking pictures.

I don't know the error code; the program will just shut down without printing anything! TT

And thank you for letting me know to use png. To be honest, I thought jpg was better than png till now. lol.

Thank you for answering!
