What a JPG icon costs you
Transparency has to go somewhere
JPG stores no alpha, so every transparent pixel becomes an opaque one. The background control on this page decides which colour that is — leave it wrong and the icon arrives inside a visible box.
Icons show it worse than photos
A photograph flattened onto white looks unchanged. An icon flattened onto the wrong white shows a hard square against every other background it lands on, which is why this conversion is worth doing deliberately rather than by drag-and-drop.
Quality matters more at small sizes
The same compression that is invisible on a 2000-pixel photo is obvious on a 64-pixel glyph. Stay at 90 or above; there is no meaningful file size to save on an image this small anyway.
Where this comes up
Legacy avatar uploads, some forum and CRM profile pictures, and older marketplace or directory listings that validate the extension. It is a compatibility conversion, not an improvement.
Keep the transparent original
The alpha channel cannot be recovered from the JPG. Archive the PNG and treat each JPG as a one-destination export.
