Convert JPG to PNG

Some tools, templates and workflows insist on PNG input. Converting a JPG to PNG is instant and lossless from that point on: PNG never degrades your image no matter how many times you re-save it.

About the formats

JPG

JPG (JPEG) is the most widely supported image format ever made — every camera, phone, program and website accepts it. It compresses photos efficiently but doesn't support transparency, and each re-save at low quality degrades the image a little more.

PNG

PNG is the standard lossless format: perfect quality, full transparency support, and universal compatibility. Its weakness is size — photographs saved as PNG are often 5–10× heavier than a visually identical JPG or WebP.

What this conversion actually gives

Measured with the converter on this page, on a 2016 × 1512 px test image: the JPG file weighs 1002 KB.

SettingResultChange
Lossless (PNG ignores the quality slider)6.8 MB+599 %
Max width 1600 px, quality 85 %4.2 MB+326 %

Converting to PNG makes the file bigger here (+599 %): PNG stores every pixel exactly, so it cannot beat a format that was already compressed with loss.

Capping the width at 1600 px gives 4.2 MB — plenty for any screen.

  • PNG is lossless: not a single pixel is altered.
  • Camera model, date and GPS coordinates stored by the device are removed unless you tick « keep metadata ».

Your own files will differ — a photo full of detail compresses less well than a flat graphic. These figures come from one reproducible test image, not from an average.

Frequently asked questions

How big will my PNG file be?

On our 2016 × 1512 px test image, a JPG of 1002 KB comes out at 6.8 MB at the default quality (+599 %). Lower the quality slider or set a maximum width and the figure drops further — the page shows the new size as soon as the file is reconverted.

Does converting JPG again reduce quality?

One conversion at 85–95% quality is visually indistinguishable for almost all photos. Quality loss only becomes visible after repeated low-quality re-saves.

Will converting to PNG keep transparency and quality?

Yes. PNG is lossless, so no quality is lost, and it preserves transparent backgrounds — ideal for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges. The trade-off is a larger file than JPG or WebP.

Are my files really private?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine. Your files are never uploaded, stored or seen by any server — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and keep converting.

Is this free? Is there a file limit?

Completely free, no account, no watermark. Convert as many files as you like, up to 200 MB each — the only limit is your device's memory.

Can I convert many files at once?

Yes — drop a whole batch at once. Each file converts independently and you can grab everything in a single ZIP when done.
