I actually used software to convert [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Nintendo_DSi_Mic_Test.jpg&diff=476728&oldid=476720 this] from JPG format to [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Nintendo_DSi_Mic_Test.png&curid=174912&diff=476771&oldid=476769 this] in PNG format; I didn't just rename the file extension (unless the software was fooling with me).  Is it still showing characteristics of a JPG file?  --[[User:Rikeo|<span style="color:Orange">リック</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|<span style="color:Purple">EO</span>]] ([[BP:User talk:Rikeo|<span style="color:Grey"><small>Contact me on BP</small></span>]]) 22:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

:A JPG file is inherently compressed (think like a very low quality YouTube video) and as such it is practically impossible to remove the artifacts of JPG compression from the image. "Converting" it is pretty much to same as opening it in Paint as saving it as a different file type. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:59, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

::So basically, converting doesn't really change anything I see.  Why is the PNG format preferred over all other formats?  --[[User:Rikeo|<span style="color:Orange">リック</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|<span style="color:Purple">EO</span>]] ([[BP:User talk:Rikeo|<span style="color:Grey"><small>Contact me on BP</small></span>]]) 23:13, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
