JPG to transparent PNG converter.

Drop the JPG, pick the color to make transparent, set the tolerance, download. The conversion to PNG and the background removal happen together.

JPEG was designed for photographs, where every pixel has something in it, and its compression has no place for an alpha channel. PNG was designed with one.

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.

No: PNG is lossless. The file is larger than the JPG, which is the usual price of lossless storage.

One image at a time; each takes a moment in the browser. Drop, set, download, next.

Images up to 100 MB. A very large one, beyond 4000 by 4000 pixels, takes longer since the work runs on your device.

The tool reads the corners and proposes the background color; click anywhere on the photo, or type a hex code, to choose another. Tolerance widens the match to nearby shades: 5 to 10 percent for a clean white, 10 to 20 for off-white, cream or a photographed backdrop, more for a gradient.

Turn on Outer pixels only: then only the color connected to the edges of the frame is removed, and the same color inside the subject, white text on a white-background logo for instance, stays put. Smooth edges turns the half-and-half pixels along the boundary partly transparent, which removes the pale fringe JPEG leaves there.

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 transparent PNG converter is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.

No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.

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