How to use the JPG to PNG Converter
- Drop one or more JPG files on the box, or click it to choose them.
- They are converted to PNG instantly.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting.
- Download each image, or all of them as a ZIP.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
Converting JPG to PNG does not improve quality — detail lost by JPEG compression cannot be restored. It is useful when a tool or platform requires PNG, when you want to edit an image repeatedly without adding new compression artifacts, or as a first step before making a background transparent in an image editor.
JPG vs PNG
| JPG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) | Portable Network Graphics |
| Compression | lossy | lossless |
| Transparency | No | Yes |
| Animation | no | only as APNG |
| Typical size | small for photos | large for photos (often 5–10× a JPG) |
| Best for | photographs and images with smooth gradients | screenshots, logos, icons, UI graphics and anything with text or sharp edges |
| Weak at | text, line art and flat colors, which get blurry edges and artifacts; it also has no transparency | photographs, where files become very large |
| Support | every browser, OS, camera and app | every browser, OS and app |
Will the background become transparent?
No. JPG images have no transparency, so the converted PNG has the same solid background. Converting only changes the file format — remove the background in an image editor afterwards if you need transparency.
Quality and file size
PNG is lossless, so the output keeps every pixel of the decoded JPG. Expect the PNG to be larger than the JPG — that is normal, because PNG stores the image without lossy compression.
Private, batch conversion
Conversion uses your browser’s own image decoder and the HTML canvas, so files are never uploaded — useful for personal photos, client work and screenshots with sensitive data. Drop as many files as you like, then download them one by one or all together as a ZIP. You can also set a maximum width to resize large images while converting. Need smaller files without changing the format? Use the image compressor; to change dimensions only, use the image resizer.
Tools that pair well with the JPG to PNG Converter
- PNG to JPG Converter — Turn large PNG images into compact JPG files — one or hundreds at a time — with control over quality and the color that replaces transparency.
- JPG to WebP Converter — Convert JPG photos to WebP to make pages load faster — usually a quarter to a third smaller with no visible difference.
- Image Converter — Convert any image your browser can open — PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP or SVG — into PNG, JPG, WebP or AVIF, one file or hundreds at a time.
- Image to Base64 — Turn a PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP or GIF into a Base64 data URI with copy-ready CSS and HTML — or paste a Base64 string to preview and download the image.
