Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
Converting a JPEG image to PNG format does not necessarily improve the image quality. The quality of an image depends on various factors such as the original image data, the compression method used, and the image resolution. When converting from JPEG to PNG, the image data remains unchanged, only the file format and compression method are changed. JPEG is a lossy format, which means that the image quality is reduced during compression in order to reduce file size. On the other hand, PNG is a lossless format that uses a different compression method which retains the original image data without any loss of quality. However, this also means that PNG files are typically larger in size compared to JPEG files. When converting JPEG to PNG, the image data remains unchanged, so any quality loss that was introduced during the JPEG compression will still be present in the PNG file. If the original image was high quality and well optimized, then the PNG version may look similar or even bette...
