Drop a JPG above and download a PNG. The PNG is a lossless copy of what the JPG already contains, so you can edit and re-save it without adding more compression loss. Nothing is uploaded: the page loads the converter once, then the file is read and written by your own browser.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
Every time a JPG is edited and saved again it is re-compressed and loses a little more detail. Converting to PNG once and editing the PNG stops that. Some design tools, game engines and upload forms also require PNG.
How it works
1. Drop the JPG into the converter.
2. PNG is selected as the output; there is no quality slider because PNG is lossless.
3. Download the PNG. The JPG is decoded in your browser and written as PNG.
JPG vs PNG
JPG: lossy and small, ideal for finished photos. No transparency.
PNG: lossless and larger — a photo as PNG is typically several times the size of the JPG. Supports transparency, and keeps text and hard edges crisp.
Converting JPG to PNG never improves quality: any blockiness already in the JPG stays. It only guarantees nothing more is lost.
Quality notes
Expect the file to grow, often considerably, for photos. The background stays exactly as it was — a white background remains white, not transparent. Metadata such as camera EXIF and GPS location is not copied into the PNG.
Common use cases
Editing a photo in several passes; preparing an image for a tool that only accepts PNG; adding text or annotations that must stay sharp.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG have a transparent background?＋
No. A JPG has no transparency to carry over. Use the Remove Background tool to cut the subject out and get a transparent PNG.
Does converting to PNG improve quality?＋
No. It keeps exactly what is in the JPG, including any compression artefacts, and prevents further loss.
Why is the PNG so much larger?＋
PNG compresses without discarding anything. Photos have lots of fine detail that lossless compression cannot shrink much.
Is EXIF data kept?＋
No. The image is re-encoded from its pixels, so camera details and GPS location are not written to the PNG.
