When to Convert PNG to JPEG
✅ Do convert when:
- The image is a photograph (no sharp edges or text)
- You don't need transparency
- File size is more important than perfect quality
- The image has transparency (it will become white)
- The image contains text or sharp edges (JPEG artifacts appear)
- You need lossless quality
How PNG and JPEG Differ
PNG uses lossless compression — no data is lost. JPEG uses lossy compression — some data is discarded.
For a typical photograph:
- PNG: 2.5 MB
- JPEG (80% quality): 280 KB
- Savings: 89%

Handling Transparency
