How to convert JPG to PNG
- Drop your JPG files in the box above. You can also click the box to pick files, or paste them.
- Each file is converted to PNG on your own device. It usually takes a second or two.
- Download each file, or get them all in one zip. Every file keeps its name.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
Worth doing when you need a lossless copy to edit further, though it will not undo the compression already in the JPG.
PNG files are usually a little bigger than JPG, which is the price of wider support.
PNG is lossless, but it can't bring back detail JPG already discarded. The file will grow without looking better.
About the two formats
JPG: The standard choice for photos. Files are small and every app can open them. It can't store transparent backgrounds.
PNG: Keeps every detail sharp and supports transparent backgrounds. Works everywhere. The safe pick for logos, graphics and screenshots.
JPG and JPEG are the same format. The two extensions are interchangeable, and .jpg is the more common of the two. If a form has asked you for one and you have the other, rename it here rather than converting it.
The whole conversion happens in your browser. Your file is unpacked into raw pixels and saved again as PNG. Nothing is sent to any server.
Common questions
Is the JPG to PNG converter free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The JPG to PNG converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Will converting to PNG remove the JPG artefacts?
No. The blocky edges and the smudging around sharp lines are baked into the pixels of the JPG, and PNG copies those pixels faithfully. Converting gives you a lossless file to edit from, not a cleaner picture. To actually reduce artefacts you need the original from before it was ever saved as JPG.
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG keeps every pixel it is given, but the detail JPG discarded when it was first saved is already gone and nothing can bring it back. What you get is a faithful copy of the JPG, in a bigger file. Convert to PNG when you need a lossless working copy, not to repair an image.
Will the PNG file be smaller than the JPG?
No, expect it to grow somewhat. PNG doesn't compress as hard as JPG, which is the price of the wider support you're converting for. Compress it afterwards if the size matters.
