How do I convert JPG to PNG?

Drop your JPG or JPEG file onto the dropzone, then click Convert. There is no quality setting to adjust because PNG is lossless. The PNG downloads straight from your own device, with no upload step in between.

Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?

No. The detail a JPG lost to compression cannot be recovered by any format. Converting to PNG keeps the image exactly as it looks now and stops further loss on future saves. It does not add back sharpness that was already gone.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

No. JPG cannot store transparency, so there is no alpha channel to carry into the PNG. The PNG keeps whatever solid background the JPG had. To cut out a background you need a dedicated background remover, not a format change.

Why is my PNG so much larger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless and records every pixel exactly, while JPG throws away data to stay small. Storing everything costs space, so a PNG of the same picture is commonly several times bigger. You trade file size for a format that never loses detail.

Is there a quality slider for PNG?

No, and there is nothing to set. PNG compression is lossless, so it always keeps the full image — there is no quality dial to turn up or down. Every PNG this tool makes is a pixel-perfect copy of the JPG you dropped in.

Are my JPG files uploaded to a server?

No. Each file is decoded and re-encoded inside your browser with WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is copied, and nothing is stored. You can confirm it by watching the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you convert.

Can I convert several JPG files at once?

Yes. Drop up to 50 JPG or JPEG files in one go, each up to 100 MB. They all convert with the same settings, and the results arrive as a single ZIP with .png filenames. If one file is corrupt, it is skipped and the rest still finish.

Should I convert JPG to PNG for the web?

Usually not. For photos on a web page, JPG or WebP gives a much smaller file at a look most people cannot tell apart. Reach for PNG when you need lossless editing, sharp graphics and text, or a tool that specifically asks for PNG.

When PNG is the right call — and when it isn't

PNG is a lossless format. It stores every pixel exactly, so re-saving it never chips away at detail. JPG works the other way: each time you open and save it, the compression runs again and throws out a little more. That is why PNG is the format you want for a working master you plan to edit and re-export more than once. Convert your JPG to PNG first, then edit the PNG and leave the JPG alone.

Be clear about what this does not do. Converting a JPG to PNG does not bring back quality the JPG already lost. Whatever the compression removed is gone; PNG only stops the loss from continuing from here. So the picture will look the same as your JPG, not sharper.

One more thing people expect and shouldn't: JPG cannot store transparency, so the PNG you get keeps the solid background the JPG already had. Nothing turns see-through on its own. And because PNG records every pixel, the file will be noticeably larger than the JPG. Strip metadata is on by default, so EXIF and color profiles are cleared. Drop one JPG and it saves straight to your device; drop a batch and they download as a ZIP.

Lossless from here on

PNG keeps every pixel intact. Edit and re-save as often as you like — no extra compression, no slow drift in quality.

PNG that tools actually accept

Some editors, uploaders, and CMSes only take PNG. Convert once and the file goes where JPG was turned away.

Runs on your device

The JPG never leaves your browser. Open the Network tab while you convert and you will see nothing upload.

When converting JPG to PNG helps

Making an editing master

Turn the JPG into PNG before you start retouching. Every save after that stays lossless, so the file holds up across many rounds of edits.

Screenshots saved as JPG

A screenshot that got saved as JPG picks up fuzzy edges on text. Moving it to PNG stops any more of that, though it will not undo the softening already there.

Diagrams and line art

Charts, wireframes, and flat graphics have sharp edges that JPG smears. PNG keeps those hard lines clean from this point on.

A logo someone sent as JPG

Got a logo as a JPG with a white box around it? Convert it to PNG so it drops into design tools that expect the format.

Uploads that demand PNG

Some app stores, print templates, and upload forms accept PNG only. Convert first and the file finally goes through.

Feeding an editor that prefers PNG

Certain editors and pipelines open PNG more cleanly than JPG. Hand them PNG and you skip the format warnings.

Made for JPG-to-PNG, honest about the trade

Lossless output — safe to edit and re-save without quality drift
No quality slider, because PNG never discards detail

How to convert JPG to PNG in three steps

Drop your JPG files
Add one file or up to fifty. Both .jpg and .jpeg work, and each one joins the queue ready to convert.
Confirm the settings
There is no quality slider — PNG is lossless, so there is nothing to trade. Strip metadata stays on unless you turn it off.
Download your PNG
A single file saves on its own. A batch comes back as one ZIP, every file renamed with a .png extension.

Tips for clean JPG-to-PNG conversions

Tip 1:
Convert to PNG before you edit, not after. PNG protects the file going forward — it cannot repair loss the JPG already baked in.
Tip 2:
Expect a bigger file. PNG stores every pixel, so the output will outweigh the JPG. That is the cost of going lossless.
Tip 3:
Do not expect a transparent background. JPG has none to carry over, so the PNG keeps whatever solid color the JPG showed.
Tip 4:
Heading for the web instead of an editor? A JPG or WebP is usually the lighter choice — reach for PNG when you need lossless or the tool demands it.
