JPG to PNG

The JPG to PNG converter changes JPG images into lossless PNG format, useful for transparency support and higher-quality edits.

Why convert JPG to PNG

PNG is a lossless format, so once an image is a PNG, editing and re-saving it will not degrade it further the way repeatedly saving a JPG does. PNG also supports transparency, which JPG cannot - handy when you plan to remove a background or overlay the image. It is the better choice for logos, graphics, and images you will edit.

A note on file size

Converting a photo from JPG to PNG will usually increase its file size, because PNG does not compress photographic detail as aggressively. Convert when you need PNG's qualities, not to save space. Everything is processed in your browser. To go back, use PNG to JPG.
