Convert JPG to PNG
Save a JPG as a PNG when a design tool, a print service or a form asks for PNG. The conversion runs on your device, so the picture stays private.
Open the board Free. No sign-up. Your files stay on your device.
How to do it
- Drop the JPG onto the board and select it.
- Open the Convert tab.
- Choose PNG as the format.
- Compare with the slider and download.
What PNG does and does not change
PNG saves every pixel exactly, so you can edit and save again without further loss. It cannot bring back detail the JPG already lost, and the file is usually much larger, often several times the size of the JPG. A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG will have a solid background. If you only want a smaller file, use compress or convert to WebP instead.
When to use it
Use it when a design tool, print service or form wants a PNG, or when you plan to edit a picture and save it repeatedly without further loss. PNG does not lose detail each time you save.
Tips for better results
- Converting to PNG does not bring back detail that the JPG already lost. It only stops further loss.
- Expect a much larger file. Photos saved as PNG are often several times the size of the JPG.
- A JPG has no transparency. The PNG will have a solid background unless you edit it later.
- If you only need a smaller file, converting to PNG is the wrong direction. Use compress, or WebP.
Questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. It stops any further loss when you save again, but it cannot restore detail that the JPG already lost.
Why is my PNG so much bigger?
PNG stores pixels without discarding anything, which suits graphics but is heavy for photos. Use WebP or JPG when size matters.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. It is converted on your device.
