When to switch from JPG to PNG

Convert to PNG when you need to edit the image multiple times without accumulating quality loss, when you plan to add a transparent background, or when the image contains sharp text and diagrams that JPG would blur.

Screenshots, interface mockups, logos, and any image you will further edit in a graphics tool benefit from being saved as PNG.

File size trade-off

PNG files are typically larger than JPG equivalents for photographs. If you are converting a photo, be aware the file size will increase. For graphical content with flat colors and text, PNG may actually compress well.

Keep the PNG as your source and only export to JPG for the final delivery format. Each JPG export introduces a new round of lossy compression.
