JPG to PNG Converter

Convert your JPG image into lossless PNG format.

When should you use this?

Use this when you need to add a transparent background to a JPG (after removing the background) or switch to PNG for lossless quality.

When shouldn't you use this?

If you're just sharing a photo, JPG is already good enough and gives a smaller file; converting to PNG needlessly increases the size.

Step-by-step

Find the highest-quality JPG version of your image. Copies saved from messaging apps are usually compressed more heavily.
Choose it in the "JPG file" field.
Click "Convert to PNG and download". The PNG downloads automatically.
Open the new file in the program you'll use and compare its size with the original JPG.

Example

You're building a presentation and a colleague sent you a chart as a JPG. You'll keep editing it in the deck, adding arrows and notes and saving several times. JPG recompresses on every save, so smudgy artifacts can slowly appear around the text. Convert to PNG first and do your edits on that copy, and later saves won't add more loss. Keep in mind that converting doesn't undo the loss already baked into the JPG. It only stops new loss from piling on. The same idea applies when an image passes through several programs: use PNG for the in-between steps, then save the finished version as a JPG for sharing.

Difference between JPG and PNG

JPG is a lossy, small format for photos and does not support transparency. PNG is lossless, supports transparent backgrounds and is better for sharp-edged graphics but gives larger files for photos. Converting JPG to PNG does not restore lost quality; it only changes the format.

When converting

If you need a transparent background the source must already be transparent; conversion does not add it.
For photos the PNG file can be much larger.
Artefacts in an already compressed JPG remain in the PNG.
If size matters for the web, consider WebP.

Things to keep in mind

Converting to PNG doesn't make the background transparent. A white background in the JPG stays white in the PNG. Use the background remover for transparency.
For photos, the PNG is often several times larger than the JPG. Factor that in if it's going on a website.
Some platforms convert uploaded PNGs back to JPG on their end. If you're uploading somewhere like that, converting may gain you nothing.
For flat-color images like logos or screenshots, PNG usually gives cleaner edges at a reasonable size.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No, processing happens entirely in your browser via the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device.

Will there be quality loss?

Some quality loss during format conversion or compression is normal, more noticeable with lossy formats like JPG.

Which formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, and WebP formats are supported.
