Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert JPG to PNG?

JPG compression creates visible artifacts around sharp edges and text. That's fine for photos, but looks bad on logos, screenshots, and graphics. PNG is lossless, so every pixel stays exact. Designers prefer PNG for logos because a transparent PNG can sit on any background without a visible bounding box.

Will converting to PNG improve quality?

It preserves the current quality and stops further degradation. Every time you edit and re-save a JPG, quality drops a little more. Converting to PNG breaks that cycle. It can't recover detail already lost to JPG compression though.

Why is the PNG file so much larger?

PNG uses lossless compression, so no data is thrown away. A 500KB JPG photo might become 2-3MB as PNG. You get larger files but perfect quality preservation, which matters if you plan to edit the image further.

Does converting to PNG add transparency?

No, the existing pixels are preserved as-is. The white background in your JPG stays white. To make it transparent, you'd need to remove the background in an image editor after converting.
