What changes when you convert JPG to PNG

The file becomes lossless from here on

PNG stores every pixel exactly, so further edits and re-saves won't degrade the image the way repeated JPG saves do.

It gains a transparency channel

PNG supports transparency, so after converting you can erase a background and keep it see-through.

The file usually gets larger

PNG is lossless, so a photo saved as PNG is typically several times bigger than the JPG it came from.

Good to know: Converting a JPG to PNG does NOT restore detail JPG already discarded - it only stops further loss.

When to convert JPG to PNG

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. JPG has already discarded some detail, and PNG cannot bring it back. Converting only prevents further loss from future edits and adds transparency support.
Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless - it stores every pixel exactly - so photos come out several times larger than the lossy JPG. That is normal.
When should I convert JPG to PNG?
When you plan to edit the image further, or need a transparent background. For sharing photos as-is, keep the JPG.
