## Questions

### How much smaller will the file be?

For photographs, usually a great deal: PNG stores every pixel exactly and JPG does not. For screenshots, logos and flat colour the saving is smaller, and the result can look worse. The size is shown before you download, so you can judge it.

### What happens to transparency?

It is filled with white, because JPG has no transparency channel. If the transparent area matters, keep the PNG or convert to WebP instead.

### Will text and sharp lines still look right?

Less right than in the PNG. JPG is built for photographs and puts faint halos around hard edges, which is most visible on text and diagrams. Raise the quality setting if you can see it.

### Why is the JPG bigger than my PNG?

Because the picture is flat colour or hard edges, which PNG packs extremely well and JPG does not. A tiny icon can come back several times larger. The result line says how much bigger, and tells you to keep the original if size is the reason you came.

### What are Best, Balanced and Smallest?

Three JPG quality settings, 95, 85 and 60. Balanced is the default and is hard to tell from the PNG on a photo. Smallest cuts the file further and shows halos on text. Best is for anything you will edit again.

### Can I shrink the pixel size as well?

Yes. The size menu offers a longest edge of 2048, 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels and scales the picture down to fit before encoding. Nothing is ever scaled up.
