Why convert JPEG to PNG?
JPEG is optimized for photographs with lossy compression that keeps file sizes small. However, if you need transparency, lossless editing, or sharp text/graphics without compression artifacts, converting JPEG to PNG is the right choice. PNG preserves every pixel perfectly and supports alpha transparency, making it ideal for logos, graphics, and layered designs.
