This template adds an information box stating that the image was uploaded in a format such as JPEG (or GIF), but could be stored, however, in the PNG format and adds the file page to category Category:Images which should be in PNG format.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Images which should be in PNG format

Usage

{{Convert to PNG}}

Or use the shorthand

{{ShouldBePNG}}, {{Shouldbepng}}, {{ShouldbePNG}}, {{Should be PNG}}, {{PNG}}, {{Png}}

  • This template should not be used for:
    • images for which only a JPEG source is available; recompressing with PNG will not remove artifacts and may produce larger files
    • animated images. Although PNG does officially support animation, they are not widely supported by browsers, so GIF should be used instead
    • images which contain strictly vector (non-raster) data. {{Convert to SVG}} should be used in this case.

The template takes no parameters.

 Parameter text is empty
<templatedata>JSON</templatedata> ./. {{TemplateBox}}
TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
