Higher quality means larger file size. Lower quality means smaller file size but may introduce compression artifacts.
PNG uses lossless compression, preserving all image data without quality loss and supports transparency. JPG uses lossy compression, which sacrifices some image quality to achieve smaller file sizes. PNG is typically better for graphics, logos, and images with text, while JPG is ideal for photographs and realistic images where some quality loss is acceptable.
Converting PNG to JPG is useful when you need smaller file sizes for web use, email attachments, or storage optimization. JPG files can be significantly smaller than PNG files, especially for photographs and complex images with many colors. While you'll lose transparency and some image quality, the file size reduction can be substantial.
When converting PNG images with transparency to JPG, transparent areas will be filled with a white background by default. This is because JPG format doesn't support transparency. If your PNG has transparent elements that you want to preserve, you might want to consider keeping it as PNG or using a different tool that allows you to set a custom background color.
The quality slider controls the compression level of the JPG output. Higher quality settings (closer to 100%) will preserve more details and introduce fewer compression artifacts, but result in larger file sizes. Lower quality settings (closer to 10%) will create smaller files but may introduce visible compression artifacts like blurriness or "blocky" areas.
