JPG to PNG converts JPG photos into lossless PNG files, right in your browser. Use it when an app or website asks for PNG, or before editing an image several times so it does not lose more quality with every save.
JPG vs PNG
| JPG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (small files) | Lossless (exact pixels) |
| Transparency | No | Yes |
| Best for | Photos, sharing | Editing, screenshots, logos, text |
| Re-saving | Loses a little quality each time | No loss |
PNG is already selected on this page, and only JPG files can be added. Phone photos are turned the right way up, and their EXIF data (including GPS location) is not copied into the PNG. To convert other formats, use the Image Converter.
Good reasons to convert
- A form or app requires PNG. Some print services, sticker makers, game mod tools and design templates only accept PNG uploads.
- You will edit the image several times. Save your working copy as PNG so cropping, adding text or adjusting colours does not add new JPG artefacts on each save.
- Text or a logo will be added on top. Lettering placed on a photo stays sharp in PNG.
- You plan to cut out the background. Background removal tools often export PNG anyway, so starting from PNG avoids one more round of JPG compression.
Reasons not to convert
- To make a photo look better. PNG keeps the JPG exactly as it is; blur and blocky areas from the original compression stay.
- To make the file smaller. The PNG is usually several times bigger. For a smaller photo use Compress JPEG.
- To get a transparent background. The PNG will have the same solid background as the JPG.
What to expect
| Original JPG | PNG |
|---|---|
| 12 MP phone photo, 3 MB | Roughly 15–25 MB |

Images above about 16 megapixels are scaled down to fit the browser’s canvas limit, and the result list says so.
The JPGs are converted in your browser and the PNGs are saved straight to your device, without any upload.
