Digital Tools & Tips

What is JPG? JPG (also called JPEG) is a file format designed specifically for photographs. It uses smart compression to make files smaller while keeping images looking great.

When to use JPG: JPG is ideal for photographs, complex images with many colors, social media sharing, email attachments, and web uploads. Almost every device supports JPG, making it universally compatible.

File size advantage: JPG files are typically much smaller than PNG files, which means faster downloads and easier sharing. A high-quality photo might be 100KB as JPG but 500KB as PNG.

Quality settings: You can adjust JPG quality settings. Higher quality means larger file size but better image appearance. Lower quality reduces file size but may show compression artifacts.

Converting to JPG: Using our tool, convert any image format (PNG, WEBP, BMP, etc.) to JPG in seconds. Perfect for ensuring compatibility with older devices or specific requirements.

Pro tip: For photographs and social media, JPG with 80-85% quality provides the best balance between quality and file size.

What is PNG? PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. It was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).

Transparency: One of the biggest advantages of PNG is its support for transparency. This allows you to create images with transparent backgrounds, which is essential for logos, icons, and web graphics.

Lossless Compression: Unlike JPG, PNG uses lossless compression. This means that no image data is lost when the file is compressed. The image quality remains exactly the same, no matter how many times you save it.
