JPG questions, answered
What's the difference between JPG and JPEG?
Nothing. JPG and JPEG are the same format. JPG is just the shortened three-letter extension required by older Windows systems, and both refer to the same compressed image standard.
Why does my JPG lose quality every time I edit it?
JPG uses lossy compression, so a small amount of detail is discarded each time the file is saved. Repeated edits compound that loss. Converting to PNG preserves quality exactly, with a larger file size trade-off.
Should I use JPG or PNG for my photo?
JPG for photos and complex images where a small file size matters. PNG when you need transparency or lossless quality, such as logos, screenshots, or graphics with text.
Does converting to JPG reduce image quality?
It depends on the source. Converting from a lossless format like PNG introduces some compression loss. Converting from another lossy format like HEIC or WebP involves a smaller additional loss, generally not visible at normal quality settings.
Is InstantFileConverter free to use?
Yes. Every converter on the site is free, with no hidden limits or watermarks on your files.
Do you upload my JPG files to a server?
No. Conversion happens directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device, which is also why it's instant.
What's the maximum file size I can convert?
Since conversion happens in your browser rather than on a server, the practical limit depends on your own device's memory rather than a limit we impose. Larger files just take a little longer to process.
