Which has better quality?
PNG keeps every pixel; JPG at 90% looks the same for photos while being far smaller.
Why is my PNG photo so big?
Lossless storage of a photo needs many bytes. Converting to JPG often makes it 5 to 10 times smaller.
Can JPG be transparent?
No. Transparent areas become a solid color when you convert.
