PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is wasted effort on a photograph that has no flat areas to compress. JPG is built for photos, which is why the saving is so large here.

Use the right format

When to convert, and when not to

Convert: photographs

Camera photos, screenshots of photos, anything with smooth gradients and many colors. This is where JPG wins big.

Keep as PNG: graphics

Logos, icons, UI screenshots and sharp text stay crisper as PNG, and often are not much bigger anyway.

Need transparency? Use WEBP

JPG fills transparent areas with white. To shrink a transparent PNG and keep its cut-out edges, use the WEBP Converter instead.
