Frequently Asked Questions

Will converting to JPG reduce image quality?

JPG uses lossy compression, but with quality set to 85% or higher, the difference is often negligible for most purposes.

What happens to transparent areas?

Transparent areas are filled with your selected background color (default white).

Why is JPG better than PNG for some uses?

JPG typically offers much smaller file sizes for photographic content, making it better for web use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Current version processes one file at a time for best quality control.

What's the maximum image size supported?

The tool handles most images, but very large files (50+ MB) may cause browser performance issues.

Does it preserve EXIF data?

No, EXIF metadata is not preserved in the conversion process.
