How do I make sure my pop-ups aren't annoying and actually help with conversions?

I'm struggling with pop-up strategies that convert visitors without driving them away. Every time I implement a pop-up, I worry about creating a negative user experience that might increase bounce rates. I've seen some pop-ups that feel intrusive and disruptive, while others seem seamless and helpful. I want to understand the psychology and technical nuances of creating pop-ups that actually enhance conversion rates instead of hurting them. What are the key principles and best practices for designing non-annoying, high-converting pop-ups?
