@Turnbaugh909

Since you seem to be talking more generally about any image rather than a specific image, the answer is generally no. The PNG and JPG formats work very differently and each is more appropriate for different kinds of images. Broadly speaking, JPG is more appropriate for images with a lot of varying detail (think photography) and PNG is more appropriate for simple images with solid blocks of color (think vector illustrations/cartoons or logos).

See Why do people use JPG images? and What web graphics formats to use?

So if your image was an export of a 1 color vector logo, you'd likely get a smaller file with better quality (you'll obviously only see better quality vs a separate JPG export from the original; you won't get an increase in quality by converting a JPG to PNG)... but if your image is a landscape photograph you're going to see a massive increase in file size. And there's not a whole lot you can do about it.

There are tools available to optimize PNGs which will save you on file size, but don't expect anything like JPG file sizes on complex photographs. See for example: What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? and Tools for *lossy* PNG compression?
