Why convert PNG to JPG?
A PNG of a photo is often five to ten times larger than the same picture as JPG. Websites, forms and email limits are easier to meet with JPG. Keep PNG for logos, line art and screenshots with sharp text, where JPG can leave blurry edges.
What happens to transparency?
JPG cannot be transparent, so transparent pixels become white. If you need to keep the transparent background, use WebP or keep the PNG.
Picking the quality
The default 90 is almost indistinguishable from the original. 75 to 80 gives a much smaller file for web use; below 60 you will start to see blocky artifacts.
