Why Convert PNG to JPG?

PNG is a lossless format — it stores every pixel exactly, which is great for logos and graphics but results in large file sizes for photographs. JPG uses lossy compressionthat can dramatically reduce file size while keeping visual quality high enough for most uses.

Converting a screenshot or photograph from PNG to JPG at 85% quality typically produces a file that is 60–80% smaller with almost no visible difference — ideal for web publishing, email attachments, and social media uploads.
