Why convert JPG to PNG?
PNG is useful when you want a clean, lossless output file for graphics, screenshots, interface images, text-heavy images or designs that should avoid extra JPG compression.
If your original JPG already lost quality, converting it to PNG will not recreate the missing detail, but it can help prevent another round of lossy compression when you save or reuse the image.
JPG vs PNG: which format should you use?
| Format | Best for | Main advantage |
|---|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | Photos, large image collections and smaller files | Good compression and smaller file sizes for photographic images |
| PNG | Graphics, screenshots, logos, text and sharp edges | Lossless output and better quality preservation for non-photo graphics |
