JPG to PNG

JPG → PNG

Why convert JPG to PNG?

JPG (the same format as JPEG, just a shorter spelling of the extension) is great for photos but it's lossy and it can't store transparency. Converting JPG → PNG gives you a lossless copy that's safe to edit repeatedly without the quality degrading each time you save. PNG is also the format most design and screenshot workflows expect, and it's required when you need crisp edges on logos, diagrams, or text. One honest note: converting a JPG to PNG can't recover detail the JPG already discarded, and it won't add transparency on its own, but it stops any further loss and gives you a clean, editable file. It all runs in your browser.

How do I change a JPG to PNG for free?

Drop in your JPG, pick PNG as the output, and download the lossless copy. It runs entirely in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded; just note that PNG can't recover detail the JPG already discarded and won't add transparency to a normal photo.

How to convert JPG to PNG

1. 1Drop your JPG files in, or tap Upload (up to 10 at once).
2. 2There's nothing to set: PNG is lossless and keeps the image exactly.
3. 3Click Convert. Each file is processed on your device.
4. 4Download your PNGs individually or as a batch. Nothing is uploaded.

JPG vs PNG: when to use each

JPG is a small, lossy format that's ideal for photographs, but it loses a little detail every time it's re-saved and it can't store transparency. PNG is lossless: it keeps every pixel, handles sharp edges on text and logos cleanly, and supports transparency. Convert JPG to PNG when you want an edit-safe copy that won't degrade with each save. Just remember PNG can't recover detail the JPG already discarded, and it won't make a photo's background transparent on its own.
