What is the difference between JPG and PNG?
JPG files use lossy compression, which reduces file size but can slightly lower image quality. This makes JPG ideal for photos, online content, and situations where fast loading times and smaller file sizes are important.
PNG files use lossless compression, preserving every pixel of detail even after multiple edits and saves. PNG also supports transparent backgrounds, making it the preferred choice for logos, icons, and graphics that need to maintain quality or be layered on different backgrounds.
Does JPG support transparent backgrounds?
No, JPG files do not support transparent backgrounds. Converting to PNG is required to maintain a transparent image background.
Does PNG support transparent backgrounds?

How do I remove the background from my image?
Use the automatic background remover to quickly remove the background from a PNG image. You can then set it to a different color or leave it transparent.
Does converting JPG to PNG reduce image quality?
Kapwing’s converter is designed to preserve image quality when converting JPG to PNG. Because PNG uses lossless compression, the converted image will not lose additional detail during the process. For JPGs with existing artifacts, use the AI image enhancer to automatically increase the quality of the image before exporting.

Kapwing supports uploading popular image formats, including JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and HEIC. After editing, you can export your project as a JPG, PNG, or WebP file directly online.
