Why can't I keep my image as a JPG?

JPG has no transparency channel, so there's no way for it to hold a transparent border — the result is always PNG or WebP, both of which support transparency.

Will my image get stretched or resized?

No — the original image stays exactly the same size. Only the canvas around it grows.
