JPG to PNG Converter
JPG uses lossy compression, while the configured PNG output is lossless. The result is generally expected to be larger because the output keeps data in a lossless encoding. Lossless output cannot restore detail already discarded by the source.
Why use this converter?
Key details about this conversion path.
Lossless output without false recovery claims
PNG output avoids adding another lossy encoding step, but it cannot restore detail already lost in JPG.
Expect a larger file
The result is generally expected to be larger because the output keeps data in a lossless encoding.
JPG input and configured PNG output
JPG input is decoded for the configured pipeline. The image pipeline writes a standard lossless still PNG rather than an animated APNG.
