FAQ

PNG to JPG, answered.

Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPG?

JPG is a compressed format, so there is a small, usually imperceptible quality trade-off in exchange for a much smaller file. PrivateRemix converts at a high quality setting to keep it minimal.

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.

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.

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

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

Can I convert several PNG files to JPG at once?

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