JPG to PNG

JPG to PNG Details

JPG to PNG turns the JPG files you already have into PNG. No account, no extension to install, no settings to hunt through.

JPG is the long-standing photo format: lossy compression, no transparency, and support in every viewer worth mentioning. PNG is a lossless raster format with a real alpha channel, so repeated saves never degrade the picture.

The workflow

If this is your first visit, here is how it behaves.

1. Add the JPG files you want converted by dragging them in or clicking to browse.
2. The queue takes up to 20 files at once, and anything added by mistake can be removed from the list.
3. Use the convert button on a single row, or the batch button to run the whole queue at once.
4. Type a different name in the queue field if you want one, and the file lands with that name plus the PNG extension.
5. Save the finished PNG file with the download link, then clear the queue and start the next batch.

Limits and processing behaviour

A few details that make the decision easier:

• Accepted input: JPG (jpg, jpeg), up to 24 MB per file.
• The result is written as PNG and written losslessly, so there is no quality value to pick.
• The queue carries 20 files at a time, and each file travels in its own request.
• JPG files have no transparency to begin with, so the PNG result is opaque; an alpha channel is never invented.
• JPG was already compressed with loss, so writing PNG losslessly protects what is left instead of restoring detail.
• Do not count on metadata surviving: whether EXIF and ICC data travel depends on the engine handling the file, so keep anything critical elsewhere.

Is this the right tool

Choose it when there is a concrete reason to use PNG rather than JPG. Logos, screenshots, interface assets and anything that needs a transparent background belong in PNG. It stays crisp on text and hard edges, while photographs end up heavier than their JPG or WebP versions. JPG is the long-standing photo format: lossy compression, no transparency, and support in every viewer worth mentioning.

PNG is not the answer if you only want a lighter file; use the Image Compressor to shrink an image without changing its format (quality 20 to 95).

Quick tips

• Filling the queue with 20 files and hitting convert all is faster than working through them one by one.
• Renaming outputs in the queue keeps your downloads folder readable once several PNG files land there.
• PNG is written losslessly, so saving again does no damage and the file works as an archive copy.
• Open the PNG file afterwards and check edges and colour gradients, and keep the JPG source where it is.

Data and privacy

The conversion happens on the server: the file arrives with the request, gets processed, and leaves in the same response. Nothing is archived, the contents are never inspected, and the only thing recorded afterwards is a counter of how often the tool ran.
