Turn a JPG or JPEG photo into a lossless PNG file in one click.
Converts instantly to a lossless PNG file
The JPG to PNG Converter is a dedicated, one-click version of image conversion built specifically for the most common direction people need: taking a JPG or JPEG photo and turning it into a PNG file. PNG is a lossless format, which makes it the right choice whenever you plan to edit the image further, need a transparent background, or simply want to avoid repeated JPEG compression artefacts building up over multiple saves.
Your JPG file is decoded into an image element in your browser and then drawn onto an HTML canvas exactly as it appears, pixel for pixel. The canvas is then exported using the PNG encoder built into your browser, which stores every pixel losslessly rather than compressing it the way JPEG does. Because JPG never carries transparency, the resulting PNG will have a fully opaque background matching the original photo unless you separately edit it afterward.
Designers convert a JPG photo to PNG before importing it into a layered design project where lossless quality matters during editing. Developers convert JPG screenshots to PNG when a tool or platform specifically requires that extension. Anyone preparing an image for repeated edits switches to PNG first so that each successive save does not introduce additional JPEG compression artefacts.
Converting JPG to PNG will usually increase the file size, sometimes significantly, since PNG does not use the same aggressive lossy compression as JPEG, so this tool is best used when quality and editability matter more than file size. If you actually want a smaller file, the Image Compressor tool is a better fit. Remember that converting to PNG cannot restore detail that JPEG compression already discarded in the original file; it only stops further loss from happening.
No, it preserves whatever quality the JPG already had; PNG cannot add back detail that was already lost during the original JPEG compression.
PNG uses lossless compression, which generally produces larger files than JPEG's lossy compression, especially for photographic images with lots of colour detail.
No, since JPG has no transparency information to begin with, the PNG will have a solid, opaque background exactly like the original photo.
This tool processes one image at a time to keep things simple and predictable; repeat the steps quickly for additional files.
