Convert JPG to PNG

Converting JPG to PNG re-packs your photo in a lossless container: every pixel is carried over exactly, and no new compression loss is added. The conversion runs on this page's tool; upload your JPG files, keep the output as PNG and download the results.

One expectation is worth setting: the JPG's existing compression artifacts are baked into its pixels, so the PNG cannot remove them. What PNG does is stop any further loss from future edits, which is why editors prefer working copies in PNG.

When does converting JPG to PNG make sense?

The common reason is an upload form that only accepts PNG. Another is editing: if you will crop, annotate and re-save an image several times, doing it in PNG prevents the quality from wearing down with every save.

If your goal is a smaller file, PNG is the wrong direction: for photos it produces a clearly larger file than JPG. In that case WebP is the better target.

• Forms and portals that require PNG upload.
• Working copies you will edit and re-save repeatedly.
• Archiving a frame exactly as it is, without further loss.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

No. A JPG never contained transparency, so there is nothing to carry over; the PNG output is fully opaque. Turning an existing background into transparency is a different job that needs an editor or a background-removal tool.

The reverse is the case to watch: when you convert PNG to JPG, the transparent areas are filled with a color. In this tool you choose that fill color yourself.

How to convert JPG to PNG

• Upload your JPG files; you can select up to 20 at once, each up to 100 MB.
• Keep the output format as PNG.
• Start the conversion; PNG is lossless, so the quality slider does not apply here.
• Download each PNG separately or take them all as a single ZIP.

Why is the PNG larger than my JPG?

JPG throws away detail your eye barely notices; PNG is not allowed to throw anything away. Photos are full of soft gradients with almost no repetition, so lossless storage finds little to compress and the file grows, often several times over.

This growth is normal and not a defect: you traded size for a file that can be edited and re-saved without losing anything further.

One more practical note: PNG is also the format many design and print workflows mean when they ask for a lossless file. Handing over a PNG means the next person in the chain can crop, annotate and re-export without the picture degrading at every step.
