Hello,
The simplest method to achieve minimal quality loss is still using Windows Paint as described. You open both files, zoom out, and adjust the borders accordingly. However, the lower portion appears lower in quality than the upper one. Could you review your approach or check if there’s another technique you’re using?

Windows Paint isn't ideal for this task.
paint.net is likely a superior option, and it's free.
Paint.NET offers free software for digital photo editing on Windows machines.

Or GIMP. However, mastering it may require effort.

Whenever you perform any action on jpg files that isn't "lossless," you either face a reduction in image quality because of re-encoding, or you need to store the image in a lossless format, which results in significantly larger file sizes.

Keep your original jpegs unaltered in lossless format like tif or bmp whenever possible. I don't rely on them.
Focus editing on tifs or bmps instead of jpegs.
After finishing adjustments, you can re-save tif or bmp as jpeg if necessary, but it's better to retain them as tif or bmp for minimal quality loss.
At reduced sizes, the distinction may not be noticeable.

Irfanview
Navigate to image->create panorama image->add and sort your images, then you're finished.
When you click file->save as... to save the final picture, a quality settings window appears next to the save dialog, allowing you to select the desired quality for the image.
Significant adjustments are often required to achieve the optimal quality and size ratio.

Under specific circumstances, it's possible to merge two files completely without loss by using a hex-editor (you must include RST markers). The required requirements are:
Both files match the same width.
The first image's height is a multiple of the MCU height (typically 8).
Each file uses baseline Huffman encoding.
All files share identical Huffman and Quantization tables.
