JPG to PNG

Convert JPG or JPEG images to PNG and preview the result. Understand file-size changes, metadata removal and why conversion cannot restore lost detail.

Save a JPEG image in PNG format when an editor or upload form requires a PNG. The decoded pixels are re-encoded into a new file. Changing the format does not repair JPEG artifacts or automatically remove a photographed background.

How to use JPG to PNG

  1. 1

    Add a JPG or JPEG

    Select the image you want to convert.

  2. 2

    Keep PNG selected

    Inspect the preview and choose whether to use a solid fill; a normal JPEG starts without transparent pixels.

  3. 3

    Save the PNG

    Check dimensions and file size in the result panel before downloading.

Formats and practical limits

Input for this task: JPG or JPEG. Initial output: PNG.

  • Original metadata is not copied to the output.
  • Large images may be resized by the shared image allocation bounds; inspect output dimensions.

Practical example

If a form requires a PNG, convert your JPEG headshot, check the exported dimensions and compare its size with the form's limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

3 answers
Does PNG restore JPEG quality?

No. Detail lost in an earlier JPEG save cannot be recovered by re-encoding it as PNG.

Will this make the background transparent?

No. A JPEG contains opaque pixels. Converting its container to PNG does not identify or remove a background.

Why is my PNG larger?

PNG uses a different compression approach. Photographs can be substantially larger in PNG than in JPEG; choose the format your destination needs.
