How to use JPG to PNG

  1. Drag and drop or browse to select your JPG or JPEG image.
  2. Set the output format to PNG (quality slider is hidden — PNG is always lossless).
  3. Click "Convert and Download" to save the PNG to your device.

What is JPG to PNG?

JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression, meaning some image data is permanently discarded each time the file is saved. Converting a JPG to PNG does not recover that lost data, but it does prevent any further quality loss — the PNG is a lossless snapshot of what the JPG currently looks like.

PNG is ideal when you plan to edit the image further and re-export multiple times, because it avoids the generation-loss problem of repeatedly saving as JPG. It is also the right choice when you need a format that supports alpha-channel transparency for downstream compositing work.

The converted PNG will typically be larger than the original JPG, since PNG retains every pixel value without lossy compression. This is expected and is the price of lossless quality.

FAQ

Will converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
No. Converting to PNG stops further quality loss, but the detail that was discarded by JPG compression cannot be recovered. What you see in the JPG is what the PNG will contain.
Why is the PNG file much larger than the JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, which retains every pixel value. JPG achieves smaller sizes by permanently discarding some image data. A lossless format naturally produces larger files.
Can I add transparency after converting to PNG?
This converter produces an opaque PNG matching the visual appearance of the JPG. To add transparency you would need a separate image editor after the conversion.
