About JPG to PNG conversion
JPG is standardized in 1992 by the JPEG committee and is the the most widely supported image format on earth for photographs, email attachments. PNG was created by PNG Development Group in 1996 and is best for logos, screenshots. Converting JPG to PNG preserves every pixel without compression artifacts — ideal when you need to edit or archive the image. JPG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to PNG solves compatibility issues.
