Frequently Asked Questions
Why do government exams only accept JPG format?
JPG files are much smaller than PNG at similar quality, which helps exam servers process millions of uploads. JPG uses lossy compression, making it ideal for photographs. PNG is lossless and better for graphics, but creates unnecessarily large files for passport photos.
What's the difference between JPG and JPEG?
Nothing. JPG and JPEG are the same format. The only difference is the file extension length — older Windows systems used 3-character extensions (.jpg) while newer ones support 4 characters (.jpeg). Exam portals accept both.
Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
Converting from PNG to JPG at 90-95% quality produces visually identical results for passport photos. The file size drops significantly (often 70-80% smaller) which helps you meet exam upload limits.
Can I convert WebP to JPG?
Yes. If you downloaded a photo from WhatsApp or Chrome, it may be in WebP format. Our converter handles WebP to JPG conversion instantly in your browser — no upload needed.
