JPG to PNG Converter
Turn a JPG or JPEG photo into a PNG file without losing quality.
What This Tool Does
PNG stores pixels without throwing away detail the way JPG does, which makes it a better starting point for further editing. This converter reads your JPG and re-saves the same pixels in the PNG format.
Steps to Convert
- Choose a JPG or JPEG file from the box above
- Preview the picture once it loads onto the canvas
- Click Convert to PNG
- Click Download to save the .png file
Why Convert to PNG
- Lossless, so no extra compression artifacts are introduced during the conversion
- Supports a transparent background, useful if you plan to remove the background later
- Better suited to screenshots, diagrams, and text-heavy images than JPG, which can blur sharp edges
- Keeps the exact pixel dimensions of the source file
- Runs locally in your browser, so the original file is never uploaded anywhere
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
No. JPG compression detail that has already been discarded cannot be recovered. The PNG file will simply stop compressing further, so quality does not degrade any more from that point on.
Will the file size get bigger?
Usually, yes — sometimes significantly. PNG files are typically larger than JPG files of the same picture because PNG does not throw away data to save space.
Can I add transparency to a JPG this way?
This converter changes the format but a JPG has no transparency data to begin with, so the result is still a solid rectangle. Use a background removal tool afterward if you need a transparent background.
What if my file has a .jpeg extension instead of .jpg?
Both extensions refer to the same format and are accepted here.
Is there a file size limit?
The limit depends on your browser's available memory rather than a fixed cap, so very large files (dozens of megapixels) may be slower to process.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the canvas element, so the image never leaves your device.
