Convert JPG to PNG

By Nathan Hays · Updated July 26, 2026

Some tools and workflows simply want a PNG: editors that expect lossless input, systems that reject JPG uploads, or assets you plan to edit repeatedly. Drop your JPGs below and this converter re-encodes them as PNGs on your own device: nothing is uploaded.

Drop JPG images below; PNG output is pre-selected.

or browse your files: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC & ICO

Your images are converted on your device and never uploaded.

What converting to PNG does (and does not do)

PNG is lossless, so once your image is a PNG, further saves and edits stop degrading it: that is the real benefit. What conversion cannot do is restore detail the JPG already discarded, and it cannot invent a transparent background; PNG supports transparency, but a converted photo stays fully opaque.

Expect a bigger file

Because PNG keeps every pixel exactly, the file usually grows, sometimes several times over for photographs. That is normal and is the price of lossless storage. If small size matters more than losslessness, JPG or WebP is the better target.

Common questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. It preserves the image exactly as it is now and stops any further quality loss from future saves, but detail the JPG already discarded cannot be recovered.

Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly. For photographs that typically means a much larger file than the compressed JPG; that is expected.

Will my PNG have a transparent background?

No. PNG supports transparency, but converting a JPG does not create any: the photo stays fully opaque. Transparency has to exist in the source image.
