How to convert JPG to PNG

  1. Add your JPG or JPEG files — drag and drop, browse or paste, up to 20 at a time.
  2. Each image is converted to PNG automatically.
  3. Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.

You can switch the output to JPG or WEBP in the same tool if you change your mind.

When converting to PNG makes sense

  • A website, app or upload form asks for PNG.
  • You’ll edit the image repeatedly — PNG avoids building up compression artefacts with every save.
  • You’re adding the image to a design where you’ll later add transparency, text or graphics.
  • Screenshots saved as JPG look fuzzy around text; converting won’t fix existing blur, but prevents further loss.

When to keep JPG

For sharing photos online, by email or on social media, JPG is usually better: the files are much smaller and look the same. If a PNG is too large for an upload limit, convert it back with PNG to JPG or shrink it with the image compressor.

Converting on a phone

On iPhone and Android, tap the upload area and choose photos from your gallery. Converted PNGs are saved to your Downloads (Android) or the Files app (iPhone). Note that iPhone photos are often HEIC rather than JPG — use HEIC to JPG first.

Batch converting a folder

Select many photos at once in the file picker (Ctrl or Cmd + A selects everything in a folder), or drag a whole selection onto the upload area. Up to 20 images are converted per batch; add more after the first batch finishes. The ZIP keeps the original file names with a .png extension, so your files stay organised.

Image size stays the same

Converting doesn’t resize your photos: the PNG has exactly the same width and height in pixels as the JPG, and photos are turned the right way up using their orientation tag. To change the dimensions as well, use the image resizer afterwards.

PNG and colour profiles

The converter saves standard sRGB colours, which is what browsers and most apps expect. Photos from cameras set to a wide colour space may look very slightly less saturated, but for everyday use the difference is not visible.

Privacy

Your photos are converted inside your browser using its own image engine. They are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, which makes the tool safe for personal photos and documents.

For more formats, try the all-in-one image converter; for WEBP files, WEBP to PNG.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert JPG to PNG?

Add your JPG images. PNG is already selected, so each image is converted straight away. Download them one by one or press the button to download all as a ZIP.

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. PNG is lossless, so nothing more is lost from this point on, but any quality already lost when the JPG was saved can’t be recovered.

Why is the PNG file bigger?

PNG stores every pixel exactly, while JPG uses lossy compression designed for photos. A photo saved as PNG is often three to five times larger.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

No — JPGs have no transparency, so the PNG keeps the original background. To remove a background, use the background remover.

When should I use PNG instead of JPG?

When an app or form requires PNG, when you’ll edit the image several times (PNG doesn’t lose quality on each save), or for screenshots and graphics with text.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Conversion happens in your browser.
