EXIF metadata, which PNG could not store

Lost

Transparency
Original pixel data (lossless)

Settings used

Flattened onto white, then encoded as JPEG at quality 0.9. Screenshots of text will show ringing artefacts at any quality.

When not to convert

Not for logos, screenshots, or anything with sharp edges and flat colour. PNG or WebP keeps those clean.

What is a PNG file?

PNG is a lossless image format from 1996, created as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It preserves every pixel exactly and supports a full alpha channel, which makes it the right choice for screenshots, logos, UI assets and any image that will be edited repeatedly.

What is a JPG file?

JPG is a lossy image format published in 1992 and still the most widely supported photo format in existence. It discards detail the eye is least likely to notice to reach small file sizes, which makes it ideal for photographs and a poor choice for text, line art or anything needing transparency.
