Convert JPG to PNG
Need a PNG for an editor, a template or a form that will not take JPG? Convert your JPGs here and each one is saved as a PNG without any further loss. Conversion runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.
How to convert JPG to PNG
Convert JPG to PNG without uploading
Drop your JPG files onto the converter and each one is saved as a PNG inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so family photos, scans of documents and client work stay on your device. You can convert up to 30 JPGs at once, up to 50 MB each and 200 MB per batch, and download every PNG together as a ZIP.
The PNG has the same width and height as the JPG, and it keeps the file name with the new extension, so photo-1.jpg becomes photo-1.png and is easy to find in your downloads. The original JPG on your device is not changed. The converter also takes WebP and iPhone HEIC photos and saves those as PNG in the same way.
Does converting to PNG improve quality?
No, and it is worth being clear about this before you convert. A JPG loses some detail when it is first saved, and that detail is gone from the file. Converting to PNG stores the JPG’s pixels exactly as they are, including any blocky patches or soft edges the JPG compression left behind. Nothing more is lost from that point on, but nothing comes back either, so the PNG looks the same as the JPG it came from.
The file also gets bigger. PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly, while JPG was designed to keep photos small by discarding detail you do not notice. For a photo, the PNG is often several times the size of the JPG. If your goal is a better-looking image, start from the best original you have, such as the photo on your phone or camera, rather than from a JPG you downloaded or received in a chat.
When you actually need a PNG
The most common reason is that something insists on it. Some design and printing templates, upload forms, game and app tools, and older programs accept only PNG files, and converting is the quickest way past that rule.
The other good reason is editing. Every time a JPG is opened and saved again, it loses a little more detail. If you are going to work on an image in several rounds, adding text, arrows or other graphics, converting it to PNG first means the later saves do not add any new loss. When the editing is done and the image is going to be shared, a JPG or WebP copy is usually the better file to send, because it is much smaller. To go back, our PNG to JPG converter does the reverse in the same way.
Can a JPG have a transparent background?
No. The JPG format has no transparency at all, so every JPG has a solid background, even if it looks like a logo on white. Converting to PNG does not change that: the PNG has the same white, or whatever color, background that the JPG had, because the converter keeps every pixel as it is.
If you need the background to be transparent, for example to place a product photo or a logo on a colored page, use the background remover. It cuts out the subject in your browser and saves a PNG with a transparent background, ready to drop onto any design.
