Why convert to JPG
JPG uses efficient lossy compression, so it's much smaller than PNG for photographs, and it opens in every program and platform. Converting to JPG is ideal when you need a small, universally compatible image — for email attachments, web use, or size-limited uploads.
The trade-off: JPG can't store transparency, so any transparent areas become a solid (white) background. If you need transparency, keep the image as PNG instead.
