About JPG to PNG conversion
People convert JPG to PNG for a handful of practical reasons. Some print shops, sticker makers, and design tools only accept PNG. Others want a lossless working copy so that repeated edits and saves stop piling up fresh compression artifacts, which happens every time a JPEG is re-saved. PNG also keeps sharp edges on text you add later, which makes it a better base for annotated images.
It helps to know what conversion cannot do. A PNG made from a JPEG preserves the photo exactly as it is now, including any blockiness that was already baked in; it will not restore detail that the original compression threw away. Expect the PNG to be noticeably larger than the JPEG, often three to five times, because it stores every pixel without lossy shortcuts. That is normal and not a sign anything went wrong.
The new PNG will also be opaque. JPEG never had transparency, so there is no background to remove automatically; you would do that in an editor afterwards. Camera details stored in the JPEG, such as EXIF location tags, are not copied into the new file, which is a small privacy bonus when sharing photos.
How to do it
- Use the button above to open the Image tool preset to PNG output.
- Add your .jpg or .jpeg files by dragging them in or using Choose images.
- Ignore the quality slider — PNG is lossless, so it has no effect here.
- If the photo is huge, enter a max width such as 2000 px to keep the PNG manageable.
- Click Convert images and download each PNG from the list.
