Ouch. Please, NEVER convert something that is not a continuous-tone picture to JPEG. You will get compression artefacts and it will be either bloated or ugly.
PNG is a better choice. By far.

Posted Dec 1, 2004 4:17 UTC (Wed) by Ross (subscriber, #4065) [Link] Not to mention that JPEG isn't appropriate for editing because the lossycompression artifacts build up every open-edit-save iteration, often at a superlinear rate. Yes, there are such things a lossless JPEGs but they take as much space as any other losslesss format and few programs can be told to write them.
