What Happens When You Convert a Transparent PNG to JPG?

Understand transparency loss when converting PNG to JPG and when PNG, WebP, or JPG is the right output.

JPG does not support transparency

When a transparent PNG becomes JPG, transparent areas must be flattened into a normal background. That can be fine for photos but risky for logos or cutouts.

When to keep PNG

Keep PNG when the transparent background matters, when the image has text or sharp edges, or when it is a logo, icon, or UI asset.

When JPG is okay

Use JPG when the image is a photo, transparency is not needed, and smaller file size or broad compatibility matters more.
