Convert JPG to PNG
Save a JPG photo or image as a PNG file, for software and forms that require PNG or for edits that should not lose any more quality. The conversion happens in your browser.
How to convert JPG to PNG
- 1Add your JPG. Drop the image onto the box or tap to choose it.
- 2Download the PNG. The PNG has exactly the same dimensions and appearance as your JPG.
Good reasons to convert
- A website, app, or print service asks specifically for PNG
- You will edit the image several times: PNG does not lose quality each time it is saved, while JPG does
- You are adding text, arrows, or highlights to a screenshot and want them to stay crisp
- You are building a design and want every asset in the same format
What converting does not do
Converting cannot undo the compression that was applied when the JPG was created. If the JPG is blurry or blocky, the PNG will look the same, just stored without further loss.
Converting does not make the background transparent either. A logo on a white background stays on a white background. Removing a background needs an editing app that can cut out the subject.
Expect a larger file
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a PNG of a photo is often three to five times larger than the JPG. That is fine for editing and design work, but not for email or web pages. When you are done editing, convert back to JPG, or use WebP for websites, to bring the size down again.
Related tools
Before converting, crop or resize the image to the size you need, which keeps the PNG smaller. For a black-and-white version, use Image to Grayscale.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting to PNG improve quality?
No. It keeps the quality you have and prevents further loss, but it cannot add back lost detail.
Why is my PNG so much bigger?
PNG stores the image without lossy compression. That is normal for photos.
Will the background become transparent?
No. The PNG looks exactly like the JPG, including its background.
Can I convert other formats to PNG?
Yes. WebP, GIF, BMP, and most images your browser can open will be saved as PNG.
Are the dimensions changed?
No. The width and height stay the same.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device.
