JPG to PNG

This tool re-encodes a JPG image as a PNG. PNG is lossless, so the file will usually be larger, but it will not accumulate further compression artefacts when you edit and re-save it.

Why use JPG to PNG?

Images arrive in whichever format the camera, phone or app happened to produce, and that is rarely the format you need next. Converting and resizing lets you meet an upload limit, strip a format a website refuses, keep a transparent background where it matters, or cut a photo from several megabytes down to something an email will accept — without losing the original, which stays untouched on your device.

Your privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. The file you select is read into your device's memory, converted there and offered back as a download — it is never uploaded to our servers. Closing or reloading the page clears it. If you are signed in, we store only the tool name, the number of files and their total size so you can see your own activity history; the file contents are never sent.

Tips for the best result

  • Start from the highest-quality original you have; converting an already-compressed file twice loses detail.
  • If you need transparency, keep the output in PNG or WebP — JPG cannot store an alpha channel.
  • When resizing for the web, set the width you actually display at rather than shrinking a huge image in CSS.
  • Compress last, after cropping and resizing, so you are not re-encoding the same pixels repeatedly.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting to PNG improve the quality?

No. Compression artefacts already present in the JPG stay in the image; PNG simply stops new ones being added.

Why is my PNG larger than the JPG?

PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which for photographs is far less efficient than JPG's lossy compression.

Can I convert several images at once?

Yes, add multiple files and they are converted in a single run.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to our servers.
