    There is one minor difference:
    443610 = jpg
    498335 = png

    This is a higher-quality image and the original should be flagged as lower-quality.

    So being PNG automatically makes this one higher quality? They are exactly the same image, except this one was converted from .jpg to .png and is a repost.

    Where is it 'crappy'? There's no artifacts or loss of quality over the original, at all.

    This is what you get for using Photoshop and saving as JPG in highest quality, yet I've not done this edit, but I can tell how it was done.

    Jpg isn't inherently inferior to png.
    Png allows for transparency at the cost of a bloated file size.
    Jpg images don't have transparency, but at the same time have a much smaller filesize than png. It also has the ability to compress the image to make it even smaller at the cost of quality.

    The misconception that jpg is bad arises from the fact that many programs and people use compression when saving jpgs.
    Both formats are perfectly viable in most situations.

    I personally use the jpg format whenever I create an image that doesn't have transparency. I just make sure they don't get compressed when I save.

  • PNGs don't necessarily need to have transparency(see 24bit PNG) and inherently indicate lossless compression. Jpgs are a lossy format, losing detail even at the highest quality levels.

    The original edit was saved as a jpg before being converted back to png and uploaded here. Even if the original edit had a loss of quality, this image was exactly the same, but took up more space.
