Is PNG always better than JPG?

No. PNG is better for text, diagrams, and screenshots. JPG is better for photographs and mixed content where file size matters more than pixel-perfect quality.

Why are PNG files so large?

PNG uses lossless compression, preserving every pixel. This produces larger files than JPG but with zero quality loss. Use 150 DPI instead of 300 to reduce size.

Does PNG support animation?

Regular PNG does not. APNG (Animated PNG) exists but has limited browser support. For animated content, use GIF or WebP.

Can I convert PNG back to PDF?

Yes, but you lose the text layer. The result is an image-based PDF rather than a searchable document. The original PDF is always preferable.
