Why convert JPG to PNG

Every time a JPG is edited and saved again, it loses a little more detail. Converting to PNG stops that: from then on, edits and saves are lossless. Some design tools, templates, and platforms also ask specifically for PNG.

Honest expectations

Converting cannot restore detail that JPG compression already removed, and it does not create a transparent background by itself. The PNG will usually be larger than the original JPG.

Common problems and how to fix them

  • The PNG is much bigger than the JPG

    That is normal for photos. If you only need a lighter file, keep the JPG or convert it to WebP instead.

  • The background is not transparent

    JPG has no transparency, so the PNG keeps the same background. Removing it needs an image editor.

  • The image still shows JPG artifacts

    Converting keeps the image exactly as it is now; it cannot remove artifacts from the original JPG.

🔗 Keep going without uploading again

If the PNG turns out too large, send it to Compress from the results, or convert it to WebP for a lighter file that can also keep transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer your questions about privacy, features, and limits.

Will converting to PNG improve the quality?
No. PNG preserves the image exactly as it is now; it cannot recover detail lost in the original JPG.
Will the background become transparent?
No. JPG has no transparency, so the PNG keeps the same solid background. Removing a background requires an image editor.
Why is the PNG bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless and stores every pixel without discarding data, so photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than as JPG.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes, up to 20 images of 25 MB each per batch, with a single ZIP download.
When is JPG to PNG worth it?
When you will edit the image several times, place it in a design tool, or a platform asks for PNG. For sharing photos, JPG is usually better.
Does the PNG keep the same dimensions?
Yes. Width and height stay the same. Use Resize if you need other dimensions.
