JPG vs PNG: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Preventing further quality loss during editing
Every time you save a JPG, quality degrades. Converting to PNG first means all subsequent edits and saves preserve the current quality level without additional compression artifacts.
Adding transparency to an image
After converting to PNG, you can use image editing software to remove the background and create transparency. JPG cannot store transparency, but PNG can.
Using in design tools
Some design workflows and tools work better with PNG files. Converting JPG to PNG ensures compatibility with tools like Canva, Figma, or PowerPoint templates that expect PNG inputs.
Preserving text and sharp edges
If your JPG contains important text or line art, converting to PNG prevents additional blurring from future JPG re-compression. The current quality is locked in.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Converting JPG to PNG does not restore quality lost during JPG compression. The PNG will contain exactly the same pixel data as the JPG. However, it prevents any further quality loss when you edit and re-save the file.
PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel exactly. JPG achieves smaller files by discarding visual information. A 500KB JPG photo may become 2-5MB as a PNG because all pixel data is stored precisely.
Convert when you plan to edit the image (to prevent re-compression), need to add transparency, or when a tool or platform specifically requires PNG format. For simple sharing, keeping the JPG is usually better.
Yes. Once in PNG format, you can use any image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Canva) to remove the background and create transparent areas. This is one of the main reasons to convert from JPG to PNG.
No. The PNG will have exactly the same pixel width and height as the original JPG. No resizing, cropping, or scaling occurs during conversion.
You can always convert the PNG back to JPG later. However, you should keep both files if you might need the original JPG. The PNG preserves the exact pixel content of the JPG it was created from.
No. ChangeThisFile processes everything in your browser. Your images are never uploaded or transmitted anywhere. The conversion uses the browser's built-in Canvas API.
