When Should You Use PNG Instead of JPG?
JPG is a solid choice for photographs where keeping the file size small matters more than absolute pixel accuracy. But once your work involves logos, interface elements, screenshots, or any content with sharp lettering and flat color blocks, PNG delivers visibly cleaner results. Every pixel is stored exactly as captured, so edges stay crisp and colors remain consistent no matter how many times you open or re-save the file.
Transparency is the other major reason to choose PNG. Unlike JPG, PNG carries a full alpha channel, letting you create images with partially or fully transparent areas. That capability is critical for icons, product cut-outs you want to layer over different backgrounds, and any graphic work involving multiple composited elements.
Many designers keep a PNG master of every asset they are actively working on, even when the final export will be a JPEG or WebP. Starting from a lossless source prevents quality from eroding a little more with each edit-and-save cycle.

Common Questions
Can I convert multiple JPGs at once?
Yes. Add up to 50 files per session, click Convert to process them all together, then download individually or as a single ZIP archive.
Do my images get sent to any server?
No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your image data is never transmitted to an external server, stored, or logged.
Why is the PNG output larger than my original JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, meaning every pixel is stored in full. JPG achieves smaller sizes by permanently dropping some image data. For photographs, PNG files are typically two to four times larger. For flat graphics or text, the sizes are often comparable or PNG can even be smaller.
