JPG to PNG Converter

About JPG to PNG

Repackages a JPG as a PNG so it can be edited and saved again without further compression damage. It does not bring back detail that JPG already discarded; it simply stores the pixels as they are now in a lossless container.

How to use it

1. Drag a JPG or JPEG file into the dropzone, or click to select one.
2. Look over the source preview; browsers show it the right way up even if the camera stored it rotated.
3. Press Convert to PNG. No slider is shown because PNG compression is lossless.
4. Click Download PNG to save the file, or copy the data URL with the copy button.

Photo prepared for repeated editing

A 1600×1200 JPG straight from a phone.

A 1600×1200 PNG with identical pixels. The canvas takes its size from the decoded image, so nothing is resized. Expect a file several times larger, and no alpha holes because JPG never had transparency.

When to use it

• Saving a working copy before a long series of edits so each save does not add JPG artifacts.
• Importing a picture into a tool or template that requires PNG.
• Preparing a flat image for later background removal, where you want transparency in the result.
• Storing a screenshot that was accidentally saved as JPG next to crisp originals.

Questions about JPG to PNG

Will PNG make the picture sharper?

No. Blocky artifacts and smoothed edges from the original JPEG compression are copied over exactly. PNG only stops new losses from accumulating each time the file is saved.

Why is the PNG so much bigger?

JPG throws away information to stay small, while PNG must store every pixel precisely. Photographs in particular compress far better as JPG, so growth of several times is normal.

Does the result have transparency?

Only in the sense that PNG could hold it. JPG has no alpha channel, so every pixel comes out opaque. Removing a background is a separate step.

Is EXIF data such as location kept?

No. The image is redrawn on a canvas and exported as a new file, which leaves out camera details, GPS coordinates and embedded color profiles.
