Common Questions

Q: Will I lose transparency? A: Yes, JPG doesn't support transparency. Transparent areas become white.

Q: Can I convert JPG back to PNG? A: You can, but you won't regain lost quality. PNG doesn't restore what JPG compression removed.

Q: What about PNG-8 vs PNG-24? A: Both convert the same way. PNG-24 has more colors and is typically larger.

Q: Should I convert screenshots to JPG? A: Usually no - screenshots with text look better as PNG. JPG compression can blur text.
