Open Image Converter →PNG
PNG uses lossless compression and is useful for graphics, screenshots and images where preserving exact pixel information or transparency matters.
JPG
JPG uses lossy compression and is commonly efficient for photographs. Quality and file size depend on the encoder settings and image content.
Which should you choose?
For a photograph on a website, JPG can be a practical starting point. For transparency, screenshots or graphics with sharp edges, PNG may be preferable. If your destination supports it, WebP is another option worth testing.
