How to convert JPG to PNG
Converting a JPG to PNG gives you a lossless file that won’t lose any more quality, however many times you edit and save it. Drop in one photo or a hundred, and get PNG copies back in seconds, made entirely on your device.
-
Step 1
Drop in your JPGs
Add JPG or JPEG files by dragging, browsing or pasting. Batches are welcome, and other formats work too.
-
Step 2
Check that PNG is selected
This page sets the output to PNG for you. PNG has no quality setting, because it stores every pixel exactly.
-
Step 3
Convert
Press Convert. Each card shows the new PNG’s size next to the original JPG.
-
Step 4
Save your PNGs
Download each file, or all of them together in a ZIP. Names stay the same, ending in .png.
Good reasons to turn a JPG into a PNG
- Editing in several rounds. Every time a JPG is opened, changed and saved again, its compression throws away a little more detail. Convert to PNG before a long editing session and the quality stays locked where it is.
- Graphics, diagrams and text. JPG compression leaves faint blotches (called artifacts) around sharp edges and lettering. Saving further changes as PNG keeps lines crisp from then on.
- Software that asks for PNG. Some design tools, game engines, sticker makers and print services only accept PNG uploads.
- Adding transparency later. PNG supports see-through areas, so it’s the right starting point if you plan to cut out a background in an editor.
What converting can’t do
It’s worth being clear about two common misunderstandings. First, converting won’t restore quality. Detail a JPG lost when it was first saved is gone; the PNG is an exact copy of the JPG as it is now, blemishes included. Second, converting doesn’t make the background transparent by itself. A white background in your JPG becomes a white background in the PNG, because JPG never had transparency to carry over.
What you do get is a stable, lossless master copy: from this point on, nothing will degrade it further.
Expect a bigger file
A photo saved as PNG is typically several times the size of the same photo as a JPG, sometimes five or ten times. That’s the price of storing every pixel exactly rather than approximating them. For a logo or screenshot with large areas of flat color, the difference is much smaller, and the PNG can occasionally even be smaller than the JPG.
If you only need a smaller file for sharing, PNG is the wrong direction: compress the JPG instead, or convert it to WebP, which beats both JPG and PNG on size for photos. Our comparison of JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF goes into the details.
Private conversion in your browser
Your JPGs are decoded and re-saved as PNG by your own browser, so they never touch a server. That makes the conversion fast even for large batches on a slow connection, and it means personal photos stay personal. Phone photos stored sideways are turned upright during conversion, and hidden location data in the original JPG isn’t copied into the PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. The PNG is an exact copy of the JPG as it is now, so any compression marks already in the JPG remain. What PNG does is prevent further quality loss when you edit and save again.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
Not automatically. A JPG has no transparency, so its background stays exactly as it was. You can make areas transparent afterwards in an image editor that supports PNG.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless and stores every pixel exactly, while JPG approximates detail to save space. For photos, PNG files are often several times larger.
Can I convert many JPGs to PNG at once?
Yes. Add as many JPG files as you like, convert them in one go, and download them all as a single ZIP file.
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes. JPG and JPEG are two spellings of the same format. Both kinds of file names work here.
Do my photos get uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside your web browser, and your photos stay on your device the whole time.
