When to choose PNG
Choose PNG when you need transparency or want to avoid another lossy compression step. It is often a good intermediate copy for editing a graphic. Quality controls do not apply to PNG output because this converter uses lossless PNG encoding.
What to expect
A PNG photo can be substantially larger than its JPG, WebP or AVIF source. Changing a compressed photo to PNG does not recover lost detail. This converter accepts still PNG images; animated PNG files are rejected.
Choose the right alternative
Use JPG for an opaque photo intended for an upload form. WebP and AVIF can keep transparency while using lossy color compression. Use ICO when you need actual icon frames rather than simply renaming a PNG extension.
Support in Pixrelio
Import and export PNG. Transparent pixels and decoded dimensions are retained, except when making resized ICO frames. Image metadata and embedded color profiles are not retained.
