What format is the best for game captures?

Helllloooooo! I’m capturing some game captures with the intention of printing them out. Would you guys know what image format is best for that? PNG? or JPG?

PNG for the original capture, since it's lossless. Keep that original at full resolution, then export a copy in whatever format the print shop asks for. Converting an existing JPG to PNG won't bring back any detail it already lost.
