JPEG to PNG converter

JPEG is a standard digital image format that uses a type of data compression algorithm to reduce file size. This makes it ideal for web pages, email, and other online media. JPEG files are often identified by the .jpg or .jpeg file extensions. The JPEG format allows for images with millions of colors, though their resolution is usually somewhat lower than other image file types.

The JPEG standard can be adjusted to various levels, allowing the user to trade off image quality for better compression. As such, JPEG can be used in a variety of ways - from low quality display images to high-resolution photographs. JPEG also includes metadata support in the form of markers and comments that allow for photo capture data, descriptions and other information to be embedded in the image.

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a lossless image file format used for storing graphics on the web. PNG files are supported by most modern web browsers and can be scaled up or down without loss of quality. Compared to traditional bitmap formats like JPEG and GIF, PNG produces smaller files with better compression, resulting in higher image quality.

PNGs support transparency, alpha blending, anti-aliasing, and multiple identifiers. They also include 8-bit and 24-bit color depths which can produce smaller file sizes than more traditional formats such as GIF. Additionally, the ICC color profile can be included with any PNG file for improved color accuracy.
