Does Imported File Type Affect Game Size?

Hi, I was just wondering if the  type of file that you import into AGS affects the size of the sprite itself.  By this I mean, if you use a PNG instead of a JPEG, would the file size of the game itself be larger?  Or does the game convert either file type into something that takes up the same amount of disk space?

Ags stores all sprites in the same format, and uses only rle compression if you compress the sprite file.

Jpgs imported as sprites would generally be larger if you have large areas of flat colour. Png is always preferable, though. It doesn't destroy a sprite.
