JPG — converts to PNGWhy convert JPG to PNG?
JPG is lossy, so every time you save it you lose a little quality. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless base for editing — useful when you need to repeatedly edit an image or add transparency. Note that PNG will not recover detail already lost in the JPG.
What to know
The PNG is lossless from this point forward, but cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded. PNG files are larger, so this is best for editing rather than final delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG stops further quality loss, but it cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded. It keeps the image exactly as it is now, losslessly.
Why is the PNG bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless while JPG is compressed, so PNG files are larger. That is the cost of lossless quality.
Can JPG have transparency after converting to PNG?
The PNG format supports transparency, but the original JPG had none, so there is no transparency to recover — the whole image stays opaque.
