FAQ

JPG to PNG, answered.

Will I lose quality converting JPG to PNG?

No. PNG is a lossless format, so no image or audio detail is discarded in the conversion.

Is JPG good for photos?

Yes. JPG is the most widely supported photo format and compresses photographs efficiently. It is a lossy format, so it is best for final images rather than repeated re-editing.

Does PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG stores a full alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds are preserved. Formats like JPG do not support transparency and will fill it with a solid colour.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert JPG to PNG?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your JPG files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several JPG files to PNG at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of JPG files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new PNG next to its original.
