How to Convert JPG to PNG
- 1Drop up to 20 JPG or JPEG files at once onto the tool.
- 2Conversion happens automatically in your browser — no settings needed. PNG uses lossless compression, so the output will be visually identical to the input.

.png.
When to Convert JPG to PNG
Adding Transparency
JPG doesn't support transparency. Convert to PNG first, then use our Background Remover to create a transparent cutout. Our PNG vs. JPG guide explains when each format is the right choice.
Logos, Screenshots & Graphics
PNG's lossless compression preserves sharp edges, text, and flat color areas perfectly — areas where JPG's lossy compression introduces visible artifacts and blurring.
Editing Without Quality Loss
Each time a JPG is re-saved, compression artifacts accumulate. Converting to PNG creates a lossless master copy for editing that won't degrade through multiple save cycles.
Platform & Software Requirements
Some design tools, apps, and platforms specifically require PNG input. Convert here before uploading when a JPG is rejected.
Why Convert in the Browser
JPG to PNG conversion is a lossless format swap — no quality is lost in either direction because PNG stores what the JPG already contains. Everything runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API, so your images are never uploaded. Note that PNG files are typically 3–5× larger than JPG for photographs — if file size is a concern for web use, consider converting to WebP format instead, which gives you both lossless-quality options and excellent compression. For the reverse conversion, our PNG to JPG tool is a single click away.
Frequently Asked Questions
The main reasons to convert JPG to PNG are: (1) you need transparency support — JPG doesn’t support transparent backgrounds, PNG does; (2) you plan to edit and re-save the image multiple times — PNG is lossless so it doesn’t degrade on each save the way JPG does; (3) you’re working with text, logos, or graphics where PNG’s lossless compression produces sharper results.
No — converting JPG to PNG doesn’t automatically create transparency. The converted PNG will look identical to the JPG, just in a different format. However, once it’s a PNG you can use image editing software (like Photoshop, GIMP, or our Background Remover) to add or edit transparency.
This is completely normal. PNG uses lossless compression, which means it stores all image data without any quality loss — but this results in larger files than JPG’s lossy compression. For photographs, PNG files are typically 3–5x larger than JPG. This is the trade-off: PNG is larger but perfectly preserves every pixel, while JPG is smaller but discards some fine detail.
No — converting JPG to PNG does not recover any quality lost during the original JPG compression. The PNG will be a perfect copy of the JPG at the pixel level, but any compression artifacts that existed in the JPG are preserved in the PNG too. If you want the original quality, you need the original uncompressed source file.
Use PNG for: logos, icons, and illustrations; screenshots; images with text overlays; images with transparent backgrounds; graphics you’ll edit multiple times; images where sharp edges matter (charts, diagrams).
Stick with JPG for: photographs; images for web use where file size matters; social media posts; any image where you don’t need transparency.
