How to convert JPG to PNG
- Choose your JPG files. Tap the box or drag files onto it — you can convert many at once.
- Adjust settings if needed. Optionally set a max width to resize large images.
- Click “Convert to PNG.” Conversion happens instantly in your browser.
- Download. Each converted file has its own Download button.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
- Editing without further loss. Every time a JPG is re-saved it loses a little quality. Converting to PNG first lets you edit and re-save without more loss.
- Apps that require PNG. Some design tools, sticker makers, and upload forms only accept PNG.
- Adding text or graphics. PNG keeps sharp edges on text and shapes you add on top of a photo.
Good to know
Converting JPG to PNG does not restore detail the JPG already lost, and PNG files of photos are usually much larger. It also doesn't create a transparent background — use a background remover for that.

Frequently asked questions
Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so it preserves the image exactly as it is now, but it can't recover detail that JPG compression already removed.
Why is my PNG file bigger than the JPG?
PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression, so photos become larger. That's expected — PNG is best for editing and graphics, not for small photo files.
Does JPG to PNG make the background transparent?
No. The background stays exactly as it appears in your photo. Transparency has to be created with a background-removal tool.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in modern browsers on iPhone and Android.
