Why convert JPG to PNG?

Being honest about this one: converting JPG to PNG does not improve the picture, and any site claiming otherwise is wrong. The compression loss happened when the JPG was written and cannot be undone.

What it is genuinely for is a requirement further down the line. An upload form that only takes PNG. A design tool that places PNG cleanly and JPG awkwardly. A file about to be edited repeatedly, where you want each save to stop losing a little more.

That last case is the real one. Each time a JPG is opened, edited and saved, it is compressed again. After several rounds the artefacts stack up. Moving to PNG once, at the start, stops the bleeding.

What changes in the file

  • Nothing more is lost from here on. PNG stores exactly what it is given.
  • The file gets much bigger, usually five to ten times for a photograph. This surprises people, and it is not a mistake: PNG has no way to compress photographic detail efficiently.
  • No transparency appears. A JPG has none to begin with, so the PNG comes out fully opaque. You will still need an editor to cut a background out.

How to convert

  1. Check that PNG is the selected format above. It is picked for you on this page.
  2. Drop your JPG images into the box, or click it to browse.
  3. Download the result. It never left your device.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting to PNG make my JPG look better?

No. The detail a JPG discarded is gone, and no format can bring it back. PNG only guarantees that nothing further is lost.

Then why would I do it?

Because something ahead of you requires PNG, or because the image is about to be edited and re-saved several times and you want to stop the losses compounding.

Can I get a transparent background this way?

No. PNG is capable of transparency, but converting does not create any. Removing a background is an editing job, not a format change.

Other conversions

  • JPG to WebP Roughly a third off a photo, with no visible change.
  • HEIC to PNG For when the next tool in the chain insists on PNG.
  • WebP to PNG The one to pick when the image has a transparent background.
  • AVIF to PNG Keeps the transparent background that JPG would flatten.

Or open the image converter to pick any combination, and the image compressor when the problem is size rather than format.
