What changes when you convert APNG to JPG

  • APNG can be transparent but JPG cannot, so transparent areas are filled with solid white.
  • JPG stores a single image, so an animated APNG keeps only its first frame.
  • JPG uses lossy compression. We encode it at quality 95 out of 100, so the difference is normally invisible.
  • Photos usually get smaller when saved as JPG.

When to choose JPG instead of APNG

Choose JPG for photos, social media, email and web pages where small file size matters. Its main limit: it has no transparency, and saving a JPG again and again slowly lowers quality.

Stay with APNG if you need full-color animations with smooth transparency.
