Before you convert
- Keep a backup of your original file before converting so you can roll back if needed.
- Decide on a background color for transparent areas—JPG fills them with solid color during conversion.
- Review known pain points: Editing software often requires plugins or conversions to more established formats. Adjust your source file accordingly.
Quality tips
- Use the resize controls to match the pixel dimensions your project actually needs.
- Preview the background fill—set it to white, black, or brand colors so transparent elements look intentional.
- Start with a high-quality setting (85–90%) and only reduce it if file size targets demand it.
- Download the result immediately and open it in the target application to verify everything matches expectations.
