JPG to PNG Converter
About JPG to PNG Converter
A JPG to PNG converter is a tool designed to convert images from the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format to the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. JPEG compression is adjustable, allowing for a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. However, JPEG files can suffer from quality degradation with each re-save. On the other hand, PNG is a raster-graphics file-format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was developed as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and it supports transparency in images.
Converting a JPG file to a PNG file can be desirable for several reasons:
- Quality Preservation: PNG files use lossless compression, ensuring that the image does not lose quality no matter how many times it's edited or saved.
- Transparency: PNG supports transparent backgrounds, making it a preferred choice for logos, icons, and graphics that are used on various backgrounds.
- Better for Text and Line Art: PNG is often better for storing images that contain text, line art, or other images with sharp transitions that do not compress well in JPG format.
