JPG to PNG

Turn JPG photos into PNG images. PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is, which makes it ideal for screenshots, graphics and images you plan to edit again.

Your image is converted locally in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.

How to use JPG to PNG

  1. Upload a JPG (or JPEG) image.
  2. The image is decoded and re-encoded as PNG automatically.
  3. Check the preview, then download your new PNG file.

About this tool

JPG uses lossy compression, so every time it is saved some detail is discarded. PNG is lossless, meaning the converted image is an exact copy of what your JPG looked like at the moment of conversion.

PNG also supports transparency, so if you later add a transparent background, no information is lost. Note that converting to PNG usually produces a larger file, because nothing is compressed away.

Frequently asked questions

Why are PNG files larger than JPG?
PNG stores every pixel losslessly, while JPG aggressively compresses photographic data. The same photo is almost always larger as a PNG.
Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. The detail already lost in the original JPG cannot be restored. Converting to PNG simply prevents further loss from future edits.
Can I convert other formats too?
Yes — the converter accepts any image your browser can open, and always outputs PNG for this tool.
