Common Questions

When should I convert JPG to PNG?
When you need: transparency support, lossless re-editing, sharp edges for logos or text, or when planning to edit and re-save the image multiple times.
Will PNG be larger than JPG?
Almost always. PNG is lossless so files are typically 3–10× larger than JPG.
Can the converted PNG be transparent?
No — converting JPG to PNG does not add transparency. The background remains white/original colour.
Is PNG better quality?
PNG is lossless and maintains perfect quality. For photos the difference is often imperceptible; for graphics with sharp edges PNG is clearly better.

Pro Tip

Work with PNG while editing, only convert to JPG when publishing. This prevents the accumulated quality loss that comes from repeatedly opening, editing and saving lossy JPG files.

Did You Know?

Lossless
PNG's Key Advantage
PNG compression is completely lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly as stored. You can open, edit and save a PNG thousands of times without any quality loss. JPG quality degrades with each save cycle.
1996
PNG Was Patent-Free by Design
PNG was created in 1996 specifically to provide a patent-free, open alternative to GIF (which was encumbered by the LZW compression patent). The name "PNG" recursively stands for "PNG's Not GIF."
4.5× Larger
Average PNG vs JPG Photograph
A typical photograph stored as PNG is approximately 4–5× larger than the same image stored as JPG. This is the cost of lossless compression — perfect quality preservation at the expense of file size.

You May Also Ask

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No — converting JPG to PNG does not recover lost quality. JPG compression permanently discards data; PNG cannot recreate it. You get a lossless copy of an already-compressed image. The benefit of conversion is preventing further quality loss in subsequent saves, not restoring lost quality.
When should I convert JPG to PNG?
Convert JPG to PNG when: (1) You plan to edit the image multiple times (subsequent edits won't further degrade quality). (2) You need to add transparency (though you'll need to remove background separately). (3) You want to add text or sharp graphics over a photo. (4) A tool or platform requires PNG format specifically.
What is PNG-8 vs PNG-24 vs PNG-32?
PNG-8 supports 256 colours (like GIF) — very small files, good for simple graphics. PNG-24 supports 16.7 million colours (like JPG) — no transparency. PNG-32 adds an 8-bit alpha channel for transparency — the most common "PNG with transparency" format. When we say "PNG supports transparency," we mean PNG-32.

Common Mistakes

Thinking JPG→PNG "upgrades" the image
Converting a JPG to PNG gives you a lossless container holding a lossy-compressed image. The quality is identical to the original JPG — no better.
Always work from the highest-quality source. If you have a RAW or TIFF, use that as your starting point.
Converting all images to PNG for "quality"
PNG photographs are 4–5× larger than equivalent JPGs with no visible quality improvement. This wastes bandwidth and storage.
Use PNG only where its specific advantages (lossless, transparency) are needed. Use JPG for photographs.
Not exporting from original editing software as PNG
If you have the original Photoshop, Figma or Illustrator file, always export directly to PNG. Converting JPG→PNG is a workaround when the original source is unavailable.
Maintain original source files and export fresh PNGs — avoid double conversion.
