JPG to PNG Converter

Convert JPG to lossless PNG, ideal for editing and graphics work.

Last updated

Converting a JPG to PNG stops any further quality loss. Every time a JPG is re-saved it is re-compressed and degrades slightly, so if a file is about to go through several rounds of editing, moving it to PNG first protects what is left.

PNG is also the format most design tools, print workflows and transparency-aware pipelines expect. Drop your JPGs below, because the output format is already set to PNG.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop your .jpg or .jpeg files onto the tool above.
  2. 2Output is already set to PNG, so no configuration is needed.
  3. 3Files convert automatically as they are added.
  4. 4Download them individually or as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?

No, and this is the most common misconception about the conversion. PNG preserves exactly what the JPG contains; compression artefacts already baked in stay baked in. What it does is prevent any further loss from future edits and re-saves.

Will converting to PNG add transparency?

Not by itself. PNG supports transparency, but a JPG has no alpha channel to carry over, so the result is fully opaque. You would need to remove the background in an editor to create transparency.

Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless, so it stores far more data than a compressed JPG, and several times larger is normal for photographs. That is the expected trade for lossless editing headroom.

When should I convert JPG to PNG?

When the file is a working source that will be edited repeatedly, when a tool or printer requires PNG, or for screenshots and graphics with sharp edges and text, where PNG genuinely looks better.

Can I convert a batch at once?

Yes. Up to 100 files per batch, and you can download the whole set as a ZIP.
