Good to know

  • Saved PNG files carry no camera or location data.

Questions

Does converting a JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. It stops any further loss, but it cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded.

Why is my PNG so big?

PNG is lossless. For photos, JPG or WebP are much smaller at the same visible quality.

Is transparency kept?

Yes. Transparent areas in the original, and any you erase, stay transparent.
