JPG to PNG — Convert Photos to Transparent Graphics When Needed
Converting JPG to PNG is useful when you need lossless quality or to add transparency to a photographic asset. While JPG files are optimized for photos, PNG is ideal for images that require sharp edges, simple graphics, or an alpha channel.
When to convert JPG to PNG
Convert to PNG when you need lossless quality for editing, expect to perform further compositing, or require transparency. Note that PNG will often produce larger files than JPG for photographic images, so use conversion selectively and combine with compression when publishing to the web.
