Converting PNG images to JPG helps your website load faster by reducing image file sizes, an essential for product photos, blog visuals, and marketing assets across all screen sizes.
Faster-loading visuals mean improved user experience and fewer bounces. Simple.
Convert for photos, gradients, and color detail
JPG is the preferred format for photography, printing, and archiving. Its universal support ensures images look consistent across platforms and devices, while also making it easy to prepare files for print shops, portfolios, or long-term storage.
For photos, JPG handles gradients, color variation, and detail more effectively than PNG, making it the standard for online galleries and visual content. With Kapwing, you can enhance your images further by applying solid or blurred backgrounds using AI-powered tools and a color sampler.

What is the difference between JPG and PNG?
JPG and PNG are both popular image formats but are used for different purposes. 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.
What image files does Kapwing support?
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.
Does converting from PNG to JPG reduce image quality?
Kapwing's converter is designed to preserve image quality when converting JPG to PNG. Because JPG uses lossy compression, the converted image may introduce some artifacts during the process. To increase the quality of images before or after converting, use the AI image enhancer.
Is JPG or PNG better for printing?
For most printing projects, JPG is the better choice because it supports high-resolution images while keeping file sizes small, making it easier to share and process with printers. JPG works well for photos, flyers, posters, and marketing materials where transparency is not required.
Why choose a JPG file?
- Native support across all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS)
- Universally supported by all web browsers, email platforms, social media, and content management systems
- Easily opened by nearly every image viewer, editor, and media software
- Optimized for photographs, making it the go-to format for cameras, smartphones, and online sharing
Is JPG the same as JPEG?
