When PNG to JPG makes sense
PNG is perfect for logos and crisp graphics, but screenshots and photos saved as PNG can be several megabytes. Converting them to JPG often cuts the size by 70–90%, which helps when a form only accepts JPG or when you are emailing many screenshots.
Transparency is replaced
JPG cannot store transparent pixels. Any see-through areas in your PNG are filled with the background colour you pick. White works for documents; choose a different colour if the image will sit on a dark design.
Choosing quality
At 90% the difference is practically invisible. For screenshots with text, stay at 85% or above to avoid fuzzy edges around letters. For photos, 75–80% is a good saving.
