JPG to PNG converter.

Three reasons. PNG is lossless, so a file you keep editing and saving stops losing detail with every save. PNG holds transparency, which you will need if a background is to be removed later. And PNG keeps exact colors, which matters for graphics, logos and screenshots.

No. The conversion keeps the photo exactly as it is now; what JPEG compression discarded earlier is gone. What changes is the future: the PNG will not degrade further however many times it is opened and saved.

Because PNG keeps every pixel and JPEG throws some away. For a photograph the PNG is typically three to five times larger. That is the price of lossless storage and transparency; for a final photo that will not be edited, JPG remains the better delivery format.

Keep JPG for finished photographs, for anything where file size matters more than editability, and for web images you compress yourself. Use PNG for graphics, text, screenshots, anything with transparency, and any photo that is still being edited.

Nothing. They are one format, defined by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. The three-letter extension dates from Windows systems that allowed no more, and every tool here takes both spellings.

Drop the file onto the pane or choose it. The browser decodes the JPEG, draws it to a canvas and encodes a PNG at the same pixel size, in well under a second for a phone photo. Download it from the result pane.

No. The new file is written from the decoded pixels, so EXIF data, including a GPS position, is not carried over. Keep the original JPG beside the PNG if the camera data matters.

No. The file is decoded, drawn and re-encoded by your browser's canvas, and the page makes no request with it. You can load the page, go offline and keep working; nothing is stored either.

No. The JPG to PNG converter is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

Up to 100 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

The conversion step is: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly and keeps transparency. It cannot bring back detail a lossy source already lost, and the file is often larger than the original.

No. The result has the same width and height in pixels as the source.

Closest to the JPG to PNG converter: JPG to WebP converter, JPG compressor, PNG compressor, JPG to transparent PNG converter. Each opens on its own page, free and in the browser.

The JPG to PNG converter is one of 44 in its group. The group's page, /tools/jpg, lists them all.

The tool is free. Its interface is built from shadcn.io's own components (Button, Input, Slider and the rest of the registry under /ui), which come in React, Vue, Svelte and Solid. Pro adds the blocks and templates for the product around it.
