Convert PNG to JPG

There are two image formats: PNG and JPG. Both contain image data, such as photographs. However, each has its own characteristics.

A .PNG file is a lossless image file designed specifically for internet transmission. It lacks certain characteristics that would make it suitable for printing, specifically support for CMYK color spaces. Basically, PNG files are designed to look great on computers and smartphones, rather than paper.

JPG and JPEG files, in contrast to PNG files, are compressed, resulting in some loss of image quality. It is possible to choose how much you want to drop the image's quality, which, in turn, reduces its files size. JPGs work well in digital and print formats, but aren't lossless like PNGs.

What are the benefits of converting PNG to JPG?

PNG files do not contain CMYK color information, so professional printing companies won't accept them since they do not contain CMYK color information.

Furthermore, PNG files contain transparency spaces. In this way, pixels within the image can be completely empty. If you try printing a PNG or uploading it to certain places on the web, those empty spaces could be filled with black or white pixels, causing the image to appear very different from what you expect.

In this case, converting a PNG to a JPG could be very useful. Since JPGs don't support transparency, you'll know exactly how an upload will look. Furthermore, JPG files support CMYK colors, so you can print them accurately.
