The most common reason is workflow: if you plan to edit an image repeatedly and save it multiple times, each JPEG re-save compounds the quality loss. Working in PNG avoids that — PNG is lossless, so saving the file a hundred times produces the same quality as saving it once.
The second reason is format requirements. Some design tools, platforms, and print workflows require PNG. And occasionally you need to add transparency to an image — which requires a format that supports it, such as PNG.
This is the thing most people miss. A JPG file already has its quality baked in. When a JPEG was first saved — whether at 60% or 95% quality — some detail was discarded permanently. Converting that JPG to PNG stores those existing pixels losslessly, but the discarded detail is gone. The PNG will look exactly like the JPG it came from.
What PNG does prevent is any further quality loss. From the point of conversion, re-saving as PNG introduces no additional compression artifacts — which is exactly what you want for an editing workflow.
A converted PNG is almost always larger than the source JPG — sometimes 3–5× larger. JPEG achieves its small file sizes by discarding some image data. PNG stores every pixel, so it takes more space for photographic content. If the file size matters (for email, upload limits, or web performance), use our image compressor on the JPG instead of converting to PNG.
