PNG conversion behavior matrix
Every supported PNG conversion: what survives, what drops, what gets regenerated.
| Conversion | Preserved | Dropped | Regenerated |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNG → JPG | Preserved Standard EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC profile | Dropped Alpha-channel transparency, PNG text chunks (tEXt/iTXt) without XMP equivalent | Regenerated Embedded thumbnail regenerated by encoder |
| PNG → WEBP | Preserved EXIF, XMP, alpha-channel transparency, ICC profile | Dropped PNG text chunks without XMP equivalent | Regenerated Embedded thumbnail regenerated |
| PNG → AVIF | Preserved EXIF, XMP, alpha channel, ICC profile | Dropped PNG text chunks without XMP equivalent | Regenerated Embedded thumbnail regenerated; color profile may be replaced |
| PNG → TIFF | Preserved EXIF, XMP, ICC profile, alpha channel | Dropped PNG text chunks without XMP equivalent | Regenerated Embedded thumbnail regenerated; lossless container with room for high-bit-depth |

What is a PNG file?
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster image format that uses lossless compression and supports transparency. It's ideal for web graphics, UI assets, and screenshots where crisp edges and alpha channels matter.
How to open a PNG file?
Most operating systems open PNGs by default in their image viewer, and all modern browsers display them inline. If you run into compatibility limits (uploads, email size, print), convert your PNG to JPG, WEBP, or TIFF with the converter above.
Design tools like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop handle PNGs well for editing, exporting, and transparency tweaks.
Browse PNG converters by target
Each pair has its own page with target-specific encode notes, file-size expectations, and metadata behavior.
Standard EXIF survives; alpha transparency drops to a flat background.
EXIF, XMP, and ICC profile survive; lossless container with room for high-bit-depth.
EXIF and transparency survive; smaller file with the same metadata block.
EXIF, XMP, and alpha channel survive; color profile may be replaced.
