JPG to PNG Converter
Convert
The canvas previews the converted result live as you adjust the settings. Click Convert for the exact size and a before/after split — drag the divider to judge the quality, then download. The original file is never modified.

Convert JPG photos to PNG without uploading them. Useful when a system demands PNG, when you plan further lossless edits, or when you need to add transparency in an editor afterward. Fair warning: PNG files will be larger than the JPG originals. PNG cannot compress photographic content as tightly.
This is the one conversion direction where it is worth being honest that the file gets bigger. JPG already threw away detail to stay small, and PNG cannot win that back; what PNG gives you instead is a lossless container, so from here on every save preserves the pixels exactly. That is valuable when the image is heading into an editor, but pointless if you only need it smaller.
How to use the jpg to png converter
- Add your JPG files (drag-and-drop or click to browse).
- PNG output is already selected. No settings needed.
- Convert and check each result's new file size.
- Download the PNGs one by one or as a single ZIP.
When JPG to PNG makes sense
Convert when a system or template specifically requires PNG, when you are about to edit the image and want each save to be lossless rather than degrading further, or when you will add transparency in an editor afterward, which JPG cannot store at all. In those cases the larger file is a fair price for the fidelity and flexibility.
Do not expect a quality improvement: the conversion preserves exactly what the JPG already contained, artefacts included, since no tool can recover data that was discarded at capture. And if your real goal is a transparency-capable file that is also small, convert to WebP instead, which supports an alpha channel at a fraction of PNG's size.
Frequently asked questions
Does JPG to PNG conversion improve quality?
No, and beware tools implying otherwise. JPG compression already discarded data; converting to PNG preserves exactly what remains, pixel-for-pixel. The benefit is future-proofing: once in PNG, saving again does not degrade further.
Why did my file get bigger?
PNG lossless compression is inefficient for photographs, so a 500 KB JPG commonly becomes a 2–3 MB PNG. If you just need transparency-capable but small, convert to WebP instead. It supports alpha at a fraction of the size.
Can I add a transparent background when converting?
Not in a plain conversion. JPG has no transparency to carry over. Use the background remover first, save as PNG, and use this tool for batch jobs thereafter.
