PNG or JPG: which one should you use?
PNG is a lossless format: perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with transparency or sharp edges. The price is size — a PNG photo can easily weigh 5 to 15 MB.
JPG is designed for photographs. It discards detail the eye barely notices, which makes files far smaller and universally compatible: every phone, email client, website builder and printer accepts JPG.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy (adjustable) |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Typical photo size | 5–15 MB | 0.5–2 MB |
| Best for | Screenshots, logos, graphics | Photos, sharing, email |
When converting to JPG makes sense
- Email and messaging — attachment limits are easier to respect with JPG.
- Websites and online forms — many upload forms only accept JPG, or limit file size.
- Photo printing services — JPG is the standard format.
Choosing the right quality
The quality slider controls the trade-off between size and detail. As a rule of thumb, 92% is indistinguishable from the original, 80–85% is ideal for the web, and below 70% compression artifacts start to appear around edges. Want an even lighter file? Try Compress image or JPG to WebP.
