About JPG → PNG

Does JPG-to-PNG add transparency?

No. JPG never had transparency to begin with, so the resulting PNG is fully opaque. If you need to remove a background, you'll need an editor with masking tools — verto's job is faithful format conversion, not editing.

Will the PNG be bigger than the JPG?

Almost always, yes. PNG is lossless; JPG is lossy. The PNG cannot recover the detail JPG threw away, but it has to encode every pixel exactly, so the file ends up significantly larger. Convert to PNG only when you actually need PNG.

Is anything uploaded?

Nothing. verto is a static page. Your JPG is decoded by the browser's Canvas API, re-encoded as PNG locally, and handed back to you as a download. Nothing touches a server.

What you're converting between

A short primer on both formats so the trade-offs are obvious before you hit Convert.

JPG

Source

Joint Photographic Experts Group · introduced 1992

JPG (also written JPEG) is the format every device, browser, printer and email client can open. It uses lossy DCT compression tuned for photographs, which means file sizes are small but every save introduces a small generational loss. JPG cannot store transparency and is not designed for animation or for graphics with hard edges — it shines on continuous-tone photos.

Strengths

  • Universal browser, OS and app support
  • Very small files for photographs at quality 80–90
  • Decodes fast on every device

Trade-offs

  • No transparency — alpha is filled with a solid color
  • Lossy: re-saving the same JPG slowly degrades it
  • Poor on flat graphics, text and sharp edges

PNG

Target

Portable Network Graphics · introduced 1996

PNG is a lossless image format built around exact pixel preservation and a real alpha channel. It excels at flat graphics, UI screenshots, logos, icons and any image that has to look pixel-perfect or sit on top of another background. Because every pixel is stored exactly, PNGs are much larger than JPG or WebP for the same photo content.

Strengths

  • Lossless — never degrades when re-saved
  • Full alpha-channel transparency
  • Universal browser and OS support

Trade-offs

  • Much larger files than JPG/WebP/AVIF for photos
  • No animation (APNG exists but is rarely used)
  • Slower to encode than JPG on large dimensions
