FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does JPG to PNG improve image quality?
It avoids a new lossy JPG encoding step, but it cannot restore missing detail or remove JPEG artifacts. The visible content and pixel dimensions remain the same.
Why is the quality slider disabled for PNG?
PicLite exports PNG losslessly. The browser's PNG encoder does not use the JPG and WebP quality setting, so the slider does not apply.
Should I convert JPG to PNG before editing or printing?
Converting to PNG is useful when an editor requires PNG, but it does not restore lost detail or make the image sharper. For printing, the original JPG usually works fine.
