Download the JPG test image
Try it and check the result
- Add the JPG or JPEG file and keep PNG selected.
- Convert, download and inspect the output pixel dimensions.
- Compare at 100%: existing JPG artifacts will remain, even if the PNG is much larger.
What changes in the output
- PNG avoids a new lossy compression step; it does not undo the JPG’s existing loss.
- An opaque JPG stays opaque. Converting to PNG does not remove a white background.
- The PNG can be much larger. Use the Image Compressor if your actual requirement is a byte limit rather than a format.
If the result looks wrong
Use a background-removal editor if you need a cutout, or the original high-quality source if you need sharper detail. Changing formats alone cannot supply either.

Continue with another image tool
After checking an image, choose a tool for the change you need. Each tool has a different purpose.
Compress Images to KB or MB
Reduce file size to fit a KB or MB limit. Compression may also reduce pixel dimensions to reach your target.
Image Resizer and Social Media Sizes
Change pixel width and height for a website, print layout or social media preset. Enlarging an image does not restore missing detail.
Metadata Remover
Need to strip or edit EXIF before sharing? Open Metadata Remover to remove GPS, camera data and other hidden fields.
Image Size Finder
Check pixel width, height, megapixels and aspect ratio instantly for one image or a full batch.

JPG to PNG FAQ
How do I convert JPG to PNG?
Drop your JPG file into the tool above, then download the PNG. Everything runs in your browser - your image is never uploaded to a server.
Is converting JPG to PNG free?
Yes. No signup or watermark is required. Batch size is limited by your device memory, and images above 40 million pixels are rejected.
Will I lose quality converting JPG to PNG?
PNG losslessly stores the decoded pixels and alpha channel. Source metadata, color profiles and detail already lost in the original are not restored.
What is the difference between JPG and PNG?
Convert a JPG to lossless PNG (e.g. to edit or add transparency afterwards). Lossless with full transparency — logos, screenshots, line art.
Does converting JPG to PNG need a plugin or an install?
No. PNG is one of the three formats browsers can encode themselves, so nothing extra is downloaded and conversion is near-instant.
Is transparency kept in the PNG?
Yes. If the JPG has an alpha channel it carries through to the PNG.
Is EXIF and GPS data kept in the PNG?
No. Conversion goes through raw pixels, so EXIF, GPS coordinates, IPTC and XMP are all dropped. That is usually what you want before sharing a photo - but if you need to keep the format and only remove metadata, use the Metadata Remover instead.
