Converting to PNG won't restore lost quality
Your JPEG file has already undergone lossy compression. Converting to PNG preserves what's left — it prevents further degradation from re-saving — but it will not magically sharpen a blurry image or recover discarded audio frequencies.
Some metadata may not survive
Your JPEG file may contain EXIF, IPTC, XMP metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where PNG supports it
The PNG file is saved and ready for download
