Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. Detail lost when the JPG was compressed cannot be recovered. The PNG keeps the image exactly as it is, without losing more each time you save it.

Why is the PNG larger?

PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel. A photo can take several times more space than in JPG.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Not automatically: a JPG has no transparency to convert. To remove the background use “Remove background (AI)”.

For images you are going to keep editing, for screenshots and graphics with text, and when a website or program specifically asks for PNG.

Are my files uploaded to a server?
