JPG to PNG Converter

Turn JPG files into PNG right in your browser — drag in one image or thirty. Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded.

Quick answer

PNG is lossless, so converting a JPG to PNG stops further quality loss when you edit and re-save it. It will not restore detail the JPG already lost, and the file usually gets larger.

About the JPG to PNG converter

JPG is best for photos — small files and universal support, but no transparency and some quality loss each time it is saved. PNG is best for logos, screenshots, text and anything with transparency — lossless, but photos come out large.

People convert JPG to PNG when a platform only accepts PNG, when they want to edit an image repeatedly without adding more compression artefacts, or before removing a background.

Expect the PNG to be larger than the JPG — often several times larger for photos — because PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression. Converting does not add transparency on its own; you need an editor to remove the background.

How to use it

  1. Drop your JPG files on the box above, click “Choose files”, or paste an image.
  2. Check the output format is PNG.
  3. Click “Convert to PNG”.
  4. Download each image, or use “Download all”.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion uses your browser’s built-in image engine, so the files stay on your device. That also makes it fast — there is no upload or download wait.

Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless. For photographs with lots of colour variation that means much larger files. For logos and flat graphics the difference is smaller.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

No — a JPG has no transparency to carry over, so the background stays as it was. Use a background remover first, then save as PNG.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add up to 30 images and convert them in one go, then download them individually or all together.
