| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

| Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |

PNG files are large. A single screenshot or photo in PNG format can run 3–10 MB because the format stores every pixel without compression loss. JPG achieves 30–75% smaller file sizes for photographic content by applying controlled lossy compression, making it the standard for email attachments, social media uploads, and web images. Transparent areas in a PNG become a white background in the resulting JPG — keep that in mind before converting graphics with transparency.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in 1996 as a patent-free alternative to GIF. It uses DEFLATE lossless compression, meaning every pixel is stored exactly as captured. PNG is the default format for screenshots on Windows and macOS and for web graphics that require transparency.

| Compression | Lossless (DEFLATE) | Lossy (DCT algorithm) |
| Transparency | Yes — full alpha channel | No — transparent areas become white |
| Color modes | RGB, RGBA, grayscale, palette | RGB, grayscale (CMYK in some encoders) |

The converter reads the PNG pixel data, including any alpha (transparency) channel. Because JPG has no transparency support, transparent pixels are composited against a white background before encoding. The pixel data is then passed through the JPEG DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) encoder at a selected quality level — typically 85–92 for a good balance between file size and visible quality. The resulting file contains no transparency information.
