JPG to PNG
Convert JPEG images to PNG format.
About this tool
The JPG to PNG Converter transforms JPEG images into lossless PNG format in your browser. PNG supports transparency and is the preferred format for graphics, logos, and images that need a transparent background.
How it works
- Upload your JPG or JPEG file using the picker or drag and drop.
- Click Convert to PNG - the conversion happens instantly in your browser.
- Download the resulting PNG file.
Example use cases
- Logo with transparency: Convert a JPG logo to PNG so you can later remove the white background in a graphic design tool, revealing transparency.
- Screenshot archiving: Convert screenshots from JPG to PNG to preserve pixel-perfect text and UI elements without further compression artefacts.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the PNG file larger than the original JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel exactly. JPG uses lossy compression that discards some data to achieve a smaller file. The PNG size increase is expected.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Not automatically - the converted PNG will have the same background as the JPG (usually white or the original background colour). Use a background-removal tool to create transparency.
