Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?

No — conversion can't restore detail that JPG already discarded. What PNG does is preserve the image losslessly from this point on, so subsequent edits and saves don't degrade it further.

Why is my PNG larger than the original JPG?

PNG is lossless and doesn't use the photographic compression JPG relies on, so photos almost always grow when converted. That's expected — you're trading file size for a lossless, editable file.

When should I convert JPG to PNG?

When you need to edit and re-save repeatedly, when a platform requires PNG, or when you intend to add transparency. For sharing photos as-is, the original JPG is usually the better choice.

Why convert JPG to PNG?

JPG is lossy: every time you open, edit and re-save it, a little more detail is thrown away. Converting to PNG locks in the current pixels losslessly, so further edits and saves don't compound the damage. PNG is also the right choice when a tool or platform demands a lossless format, or when you plan to add transparency. The catch: a photo saved as PNG will usually be considerably larger than the JPG, because PNG doesn't use photographic compression.

JPG vs PNG: the format differences

JPG is lossy and compact with no transparency — perfect for sharing photos. PNG is lossless and larger, supports an alpha channel, and is the format editors and designers reach for. Note that converting JPG → PNG won't recover detail JPG already discarded; it preserves the image losslessly from this point on.
