That's right. If you upload a PNG file through the Back Office, there is no way to stop it being converted to a JPG file. PrestaShop does this to keep the file sizes small and so all images have a predictable file extension that can be used in friendly URLs.

In some cases, like with the shop's logo, it is possible to upload a PNG file using FTP so that it doesn't get converted, then edit header.tpl to change the file extension. Doing the same for product images would be much more difficult.
