JPG to PNG

What to know before using this tool

JPG is commonly used for photographs because it can store images at relatively small file sizes using lossy compression. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it popular for graphics, interface assets and images that may be edited repeatedly. Converting a JPG to PNG can therefore be useful for compatibility, even though the PNG may be larger.

If you need a smaller web image rather than PNG compatibility, consider converting the JPG to WebP or using the Image Compressor. Choose the format based on where the image will be used rather than assuming one format is always better.

How to use it

1. Select a JPG or JPEG image.
2. Choose the desired quality setting if shown by your browser workflow.
3. Click Convert Image.
4. Wait for the PNG file to be generated.
5. Download the converted PNG to your device.

Common uses

• Preparing a JPG for software that requires PNG input.
• Creating a PNG working copy before further design edits.
• Standardizing a mixed folder of graphics into PNG format.
• Converting website assets when PNG compatibility is preferred.

Tips for better results

• Remember that converting JPG to PNG does not make the original JPEG lossless.
• PNG files can be larger than JPG files, especially for photographs.
• If you need transparency, you must remove or create the background separately; the original JPG has no transparency channel.
• Keep the original file if you may need the smallest photographic version later.
