Converting a JPG to PNG recovers nothing the camera or the last save already threw away, and it is still worth doing before an image enters an editing pipeline. From that point on every crop, annotation and export is stored exactly, instead of losing a little more each time the file is written. The JPEG is decoded and the PNG written on your own hardware.
Frequently asked questions
- Does converting to PNG improve my JPG?
- Nothing can add the detail back. What this does is stop further damage, which matters when a picture is about to be edited and saved repeatedly.
- Why has the file grown so much?
- PNG records every pixel with no lossy shortcut, so a photograph typically arrives three to eight times the size of the JPG it came from. That is the price of the guarantee.
- When is this conversion the right move?
- Before annotating a screenshot, before placing artwork in a design file, and whenever a tool or a client asks for PNG by name. For simply sending someone a photo, the JPG was already the better file.
