Top 6 PNG to JPG Converter

Both PNG and JPG (or JPEG) are the most prevail formats for digital image storage, though the differences between PNG and JPG are quite a lot.

The biggest feature of PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is that it supports transparency, which allows a transparent background for your graphics. This brings a huge convenience for latter image editing and recreating. Meanwhile, PNG is a lossless compression file format that won't sacrifice a lot of image quality. These two features make PNG a good choice for storing line drawings, graphics, and texts at relatively small file sizes.

JPG is a lossy compressed image format that has a 10:1 compression ratio, which means that certain unnecessary information is permanently deleted so that this format won't occupy much room, but that also means some quality will be compromised when an image is saved as a JPG format. However, for online image sharing, especially on social media platforms, JPG is still the most popular format because of its decent balance of file size and image quality.
