Questions about jpg to png
Will the file get bigger?
Often yes. PNG is lossless, so photos are usually larger than the JPG was.
When is PNG better?
For graphics, screenshots and anything that needs sharp edges or transparency.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The conversion happens in your browser.
What converting does and does not do
Converting a JPG to PNG puts the same picture in a lossless container, so it will not lose any more detail from this point on. It does not bring back detail the JPG already threw away, and it does not make the background transparent. The usual result is a larger file, because PNG stores every pixel exactly.
That trade is worth it in a few cases: when you will edit the image several times and want to avoid more JPG loss, when a program or form asks for PNG, or when you plan to add a transparent background later with Remove Background.
When to stay with JPG
For ordinary photos that you only want to view or share, JPG is smaller and looks the same on screen, so there is no reason to convert. If the PNG that comes out is too big for your purpose, go back to JPG or use the Image Compressor to shrink it.
