This format is used for embedding photographs or complex images on websites. More compression implies, less quality and less storage space requirement. With JPG format, the quality of the image reduces with compression ratio. It allows adjusting the compression ratio with a tradeoff between compression and quality of the image. JPG or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a commonly used lossy compression approach for digital photographs. So, it is better to convert complex images into other formats like JPE when we are using it on the Web. It will consume more space for complex images like photographs. However, it is more suitable for icons, symbols, or small shapes which does not require a lot of points to represent. PNG format can be used for any image files. PNG format is best for simple icons & shapes The quality of the image will remain unaffected on resizing. In PNG format, the image will be represented as a collection of interconnected points. Raster images use a lossless image compression algorithm. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) a raster image format. If you are already familiar with these, you can directly skip to the conversion part. Also, we’ll check how to perform this image conversion as a batch job.īefore jumping to the details, let’s get familiar with the terms used here, ie, JPG, PNG, and ImageMagick. In this tutorial, we will see how to convert a PNG file to a JPG file. ImageMagick is a tool that supports most of these image format conversions along with the other operations like resizing, reducing the size, changing color scheme. Depending on the situation, it can be a JPG to PNG conversion, PNG to SVG conversion, or anything. When dealing with images, we may have to do several format conversions.
