Convert JPG to PNG

How to use it#

1. Drop your JPG or JPEG files onto the box above.
2. Wait a moment while each one is decoded and re-encoded as a PNG.
3. Download them individually or all at once.

When PNG is the right choice#

PNG is lossless, so every later save is an exact copy rather than a slightly worse one. That matters when an image is going to be edited repeatedly, pasted into a design tool, or handed to someone who will crop and re-export it.

Some software also simply insists on it. Plenty of print portals, app store listings and CMS uploaders reject JPGs for logos and icons, and a PNG is the quickest way past that gate.

Converting will not undo JPG compression#

A JPG has already thrown away detail, and saving it as a PNG preserves the result faithfully, artefacts included. The blocky halos around text stay exactly where they were.

From here on nothing further is lost, which is the real gain. The detail the camera originally captured is not coming back, though, so if you still have the RAW or the first export, convert from that instead.

Expect the file to get bigger#

A photo saved as PNG is typically three to ten times larger than the JPG it came from, because lossless compression cannot exploit the fact that your eye ignores fine gradations in a busy photograph.

For screenshots, flat illustrations and anything with large areas of one colour, the gap is much smaller, and sometimes PNG even wins. If size is the problem rather than the format, resize the image first.
