JPG vs PNG — The Core Difference
JPEG uses lossy compression, great for photographs. PNG uses lossless compression, essential for transparency in logos and icons.
When to Convert JPG → PNG
- You need a transparent background.
- You're editing the image further and want no quality loss on each save.
- The image has sharp text that looks blurry as JPEG.
When to Convert PNG → JPG
- You want a significantly smaller file for emailing or uploading.
- The image is a photo with no transparency needed.
