What this does — and doesn't — do
Converting JPG to PNG saves the picture in a lossless format. That helps in some situations, but it's worth being clear about what it can't do:
- It doesn't restore quality. The detail a JPG discarded when it was saved is gone, and a PNG made from it will look the same as the JPG.
- It doesn't make a background transparent. JPG has no transparency to begin with. To cut out a background and get a transparent PNG, use the AI Background Remover.
- The file will be bigger, often several times larger for a photograph.
When converting JPG to PNG is the right call
- Editing and saving repeatedly. Each time you re-save a JPG it loses a bit more detail. Saving your working copy as PNG stops that.
- A site, app or design tool needs PNG. Some uploads, templates and software only accept PNG.
- Sharp graphics. For screenshots, diagrams, and images with text or flat colours, PNG keeps edges crisp.
- You plan to add transparency later in an editor and want a lossless starting point.
If your goal is simply a smaller file, you want the opposite: keep it as JPG, or use the Image Compressor.
JPG vs PNG
| JPG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | No | Yes |
| Photo file size | Small | Large |
| Re-saving | Loses a little each time | No further loss |
Is it private?
Yes. The conversion happens in your browser and your picture is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, with no signup and no watermark. Free conversions handle one file at a time, with no account needed. Pro adds batches of up to 100 files.
Will my PNG look better than the JPG?
No — the same. The advantage is that it won't lose further detail when you edit and save it again.
Can I convert an iPhone photo?
iPhone photos are often HEIC rather than JPG. Use the HEIC to JPG converter first if so.
