PNG vs JPG: Understanding the Difference

PNG and JPG are both popular image formats, but they serve different purposes:

Format Compression Transparency Best For File Size
PNG Lossless ✓ Supports Graphics with text or sharp edges Larger
JPG Lossy ✗ Not supported Photographs and web images Smaller

Converting PNG to JPG reduces file size significantly (often 70-90% smaller) while maintaining excellent visual quality for most use cases.
