Why Convert JPG to PNG?

While converting JPG to PNG won't restore quality lost during initial JPG compression, it prevents any further quality degradation. Each time you edit and save a JPG, it recompresses and loses more quality. PNG's lossless format ensures your image stays exactly as-is through unlimited saves and edits.

Technical Details

PNG uses lossless DEFLATE compression, meaning the exact pixel data is preserved. When converting from JPG, the existing compression artifacts become 'frozen' - they won't get worse. PNG is also the preferred format for graphics software as it maintains precision during editing workflows.

FAQ

Will converting improve quality?

No, converting won't restore quality lost during JPG compression. However, PNG prevents further quality loss during subsequent edits.
