From the Button Properties window, choose your ideal file

Windows-compatible computers. The BMP format supports RGB,
indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap color modes.

format supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and
page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop scanners
can produce TIFF images.

the best results with continuous-tone color and the smallest file
size.
