How to use this tool
- Add your JPG files. Drag them into the box or tap Choose JPG. JPEG files work too – it's the same format.
- Click Convert to PNG. There's no quality setting to worry about, because PNG keeps every pixel.
- Download your files. Save each PNG separately, or download them all together as a ZIP.
When do you need JPG to PNG?
- An app or upload form asks for PNG. Some design tools, game mods, slide templates and sticker makers only accept PNG files.
- You plan to edit the image repeatedly. Every time a JPG is saved it loses a little detail. A PNG can be edited and saved again and again with no further loss.
- You want to add transparency later. A PNG can store transparent areas, so it's a good starting point before erasing a background in an image editor.
What this conversion won't do
Two things are worth knowing before you convert, because they catch a lot of people out:
It won't restore lost quality
Any blur or blockiness already in your JPG is carried across exactly as it is. PNG preserves what's there, but it can't bring back detail that was removed when the JPG was first saved.
It won't remove the background
JPG has no transparency, so the background of your photo is real image data and stays solid after converting. You'd need to erase it in an image editor afterward.
Expect a bigger file
PNG is lossless, so a photo saved as PNG is usually several times larger than the JPG it came from. That's normal. If file size matters more than editing, keep the JPG, or shrink it with Compress Image. Going the other way? Use PNG to JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
No. It keeps the image exactly as it is now without adding further loss, but it cannot restore detail the JPG has already lost.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than my JPG?
PNG stores the image without lossy compression, so photos take up much more space. This is expected, and the picture itself looks the same.
Will the converted PNG have a transparent background?
No. The photo's background stays as it is. PNG can store transparency, but you need to erase the background in an image editor to create it.
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes. They are the same format with different file extensions, and both work here.
