JPG to PNG

Convert JPG images to lossless PNG in your browser — no upload needed.

Processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Converting JPG to PNG gives you a lossless copy that won't degrade further when you edit and re-save it, and a format that supports transparency once you start cutting things out. It won't magically sharpen a blurry JPG — the detail JPG already discarded is gone — but it's the right first step before editing.

How to jpg to png

  1. 1. Add your JPG image.
  2. 2. It's converted to a lossless PNG.
  3. 3. Download the PNG.

When to use JPG to PNG

Prepare for editing

Work in PNG so repeated saves don't pile up JPG compression artefacts.

Add transparency later

Get an alpha-capable format before removing a background or rounding corners.

Meet a PNG requirement

Some tools and platforms specifically ask for PNG — convert to comply.

PNG won't recover lost detail

JPG throws away information when it compresses; converting to PNG can't bring that back. What PNG does give you is a lossless container from here on, so further edits and saves won't add more degradation. Think of it as stopping the bleeding, not healing the wound.

Frequently asked questions

Will this improve my JPG's quality?

No — it can't restore detail JPG already discarded. It prevents further loss and enables transparency for editing.

Why is the PNG larger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless and stores every pixel, so photographic images become noticeably bigger than their compressed JPG source.

Does the image get uploaded?

No — conversion happens in your browser.
