Background
Interpretation and common distinctions.
Format & quality notes
- Transparency in the PNG will be flattened; expect a solid background where alpha was.
- Photos usually shrink a lot as JPG; line art and text may show compression artifacts.
- Re-saving JPG repeatedly can degrade quality further—prefer converting from the original PNG when possible.
