Converting JPG to PNG gives you a lossless copy you can edit repeatedly without the quality degrading further. It won't restore detail that JPG already discarded, but it's the right base for editing — and it adds transparency support.
JPG is the most widely supported image format in the world and the default for digital photographs. It uses lossy compression that discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, producing small files that open everywhere.
PNG is a lossless format with full alpha transparency, so it never degrades and is the standard for logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs a transparent background.

How JPG and PNG compare
JPG is best for photographs, complex images with many colours, and anywhere you need maximum compatibility. PNG is best for logos, icons, screenshots, graphics with transparency, and images you will edit repeatedly.
Here's how the two formats line up on the things that matter:
| Property | JPG | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | No | Yes |
| Animation | No | No |
| Typical file size | Small files for photos; size scales with the quality setting | Larger than JPG/WebP for photos; efficient for flat graphics |
| Support | Universal — every browser, OS, and app since the 1990s | Universal — supported everywhere |
| Best for | Photographs, complex images with many colours, and anywhere you need maximum compatibility. | Logos, icons, screenshots, graphics with transparency, and images you will edit repeatedly. |
Things to keep in mind
- Because PNG is lossless, converting a photo to PNG can produce a larger file than the original. For photos on the web, WebP or JPG is usually smaller.
- Converting to a lossless format can't restore detail JPG already discarded — it preserves what's there, but doesn't add quality back.
Quality, file size and privacy
PNG is a lossless format, so the converted image keeps full quality with no compression artefacts.
Every conversion runs on your own device, so you can convert as many JPG files as you like — with no limits, no watermarks and no sign-up, and nothing is ever uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded when I convert JPG to PNG?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your JPG files never leave your device, so it's completely private.
Is the JPG to PNG converter free?
Yes. Converting JPG to PNG is free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Can I convert many JPG files at once?
Yes — drop multiple JPG files and download them individually or as a single zip.
Will the PNG file be smaller than my JPG?
Often no. PNG is lossless, so converting a photo to PNG can produce a larger file than the original. For a smaller file, convert to WebP or JPG instead.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The JPG to PNG converter runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download or install — on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Will converting reduce the image quality?
No — PNG is lossless, so quality is preserved exactly. Detail already lost in the original JPG can't be restored, but nothing new is lost.
