PNG vs JPG
PNG keeps transparent areas and encodes the rendered pixels without the lossy step JPG uses. JPG is the file most websites, forms, and Windows PCs already open. It cannot restore detail the source already lost.
| Feature | PNG | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | Keeps transparent areas. | Flattens transparent areas. |
| Compression | Lossless encoding of the rendered pixels. It cannot restore detail the source already lost. | Lossy. A new JPG can drop some detail, and a tighter size limit can drop more. |
| Typical use | Screenshots and images that need transparency. | Photos for a website, a form, or a Windows PC. |
Other still-image outputs are on change a photo's format. Camera photos saved as HEIC are on HEIC to JPG.
Without an app: what iOS can and can't do
Settings has no switch that turns a PNG already on your iPhone into a JPG. Apple may move these menus.
Most Compatible
Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible saves new camera photos as JPG. It does not convert a screenshot or another PNG already in Photos. Screenshots stay PNG.
Share and Shortcuts
From Photos, some share destinations ask for a format before they take the file. What arrives depends on the iOS version and the app you share to. Shortcuts can convert images on some iOS versions, when the action is available and you build the shortcut. A shortcut can omit a size limit. If the shared file is still PNG, that destination did not convert it.
When the PNG is already saved
- The PNG is already in your library. Most Compatible does not convert it.
- You want a JPG from a screenshot or another PNG.
- You want a size limit, or location removed, in the same step.
- You want several PNGs in one job. That batch is FileSway Pro.
