JPG to PNG Converter

Turn JPEG photos into PNG files — for editing without further quality loss, for apps that require PNG, or as a starting point for adding transparency.

How to use

  1. Drop one or more JPG files.
  2. Click Convert to PNG.
  3. Download each PNG or all of them as a ZIP.

How it works

The JPEG is decoded and saved as PNG, which uses lossless compression: from now on, saving and editing won't degrade it further. Converting cannot restore detail already lost to JPEG compression, and the PNG will usually be larger (often 2–5×) because it stores every pixel exactly.

Converting to PNG does not make the background transparent by itself — the image keeps its original background.

Examples

Editing workflow
Convert a JPG to PNG before several rounds of edits so each save doesn't add artifacts.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?

PNG stores pixels losslessly; photos compress much better with JPG's lossy method.

Will the background become transparent?

No. Transparency must be created in an image editor or with a background remover.
