JPG to PNG: Quick Answer

JPG to PNG means converting a JPG (JPEG) image into the PNG format. The image content stays the same, but the file becomes a PNG that’s often easier to use in editing tools and graphic workflows.

How to convert JPG to PNG

  1. Upload your JPG/JPEG image using the converter above.
  2. Click Process.
  3. Download your new PNG file.

Why convert JPG to PNG?

  • Edit-friendly: PNG is widely accepted by design tools and editors.
  • Better for graphics: PNG is often preferred for text, UI images, and sharp edges.
  • Workflow consistency: Some teams standardize on PNG for assets.
  • Re-exporting: PNG is a common “working format” before exporting final WebP/JPG.

Important: JPG to PNG does NOT add transparency

Converting a JPG to PNG does not automatically remove the background or create transparency. If your JPG has a solid background, the PNG will still have that background.

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. A JPG is already compressed. Converting it to PNG does not restore lost detail. It can prevent further JPG quality loss if you plan to edit and re-save multiple times, but it won’t increase sharpness by itself.

When you should NOT convert JPG to PNG

  • If you need smaller file size: PNG is often larger than JPG for photos.
  • If the image is a photo for a website: JPG or WebP is usually better for speed.

Common issues

My PNG is bigger than the JPG

That’s normal, especially for photos. PNG is often lossless and can be much larger than a compressed JPG.

My PNG looks the same

Also normal. Format conversion changes the container/encoding, not the underlying detail that was lost in JPG compression.

External reference

JPEG is designed for photographic compression, while PNG is designed for lossless graphics and transparency. The official PNG specification and background is documented here: W3C PNG Specification.
