When to use this

You have a JPG and you need to add it to a design comp in Figma, layer it over other elements in Photoshop, or use it as a texture with transparency. PNG is the starting point for that workflow — it gives you a lossless container and alpha channel support that JPG simply can't provide.

The other common scenario: you're editing and re-saving an image multiple times. Every JPG save recompresses and degrades the image further (generation loss). Converting to PNG first freezes the quality at its current level. Edit the PNG as many times as you want — it won't degrade on save. Export to JPG as the final step only.

Be realistic about what this conversion does and doesn't do. It locks in current quality and prevents further loss. It does not magically restore detail that JPG compression already removed. If your JPG has visible artifacts, they'll be faithfully preserved in the PNG output.

Good to know

Files will get larger. This is the expected tradeoff. A 400 KB JPG photo typically becomes 2–4 MB as a PNG. You're trading file size for lossless editing capability and transparency support. If you just need a smaller file, this is the wrong direction — look at image compression instead.

JPG artifacts carry over. PNG preserves every pixel exactly as decoded from the JPG — including any compression artifacts, color banding, or blockiness. The conversion is lossless in that it adds nothing and removes nothing. It's a faithful pixel-for-pixel copy in a different container.

Transparency isn't automatic. Converting to PNG gives you a format that supports transparency, but the actual image still has a solid background. You'll need to remove the background separately (in a design tool or with a background removal tool) to get actual transparency.

PNG is the editing format, not the delivery format. Work in PNG, deliver in JPG or WebP. Your final web or email assets should almost always be compressed lossy formats. PNG is for the working file.
