CloudConverterConvert a JPG to PNG when you need a lossless file for editors, design tools or software that prefers PNG. The image keeps its original width and height.
JPG vs PNG: what changes
JPG already discarded some detail when it was first saved, and converting to PNG cannot bring that detail back. What PNG gives you is a format that will not lose further quality each time you edit and re-save it. The trade-off is file size: a PNG of a photo is typically several times larger than the JPG.
When to convert JPG to PNG
Use it when you plan to edit the image repeatedly, when a tool or platform asks for PNG, or when you want to avoid adding another round of JPG compression.
Before you convert
Converting JPG to PNG does not add transparency and does not restore lost quality. A white background in your JPG stays a solid white background in the PNG. If you need to remove it, use an image editor afterwards.
Tips for converting JPG to PNG
Edit in PNG and export one final JPG at the end. Converting a PNG back to JPG later compresses the image again, and each extra round of JPG compression can reduce quality a little.
Convert JPG to PNG on any device
Open this page on your phone or computer, choose your JPG and download the PNG. Most Android phones and many cameras save photos as JPG, so this is a common step before using a photo in design software or a program that asks for PNG. On a computer you can also drag the file onto the upload box.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. The detail lost when the JPG was created cannot be recovered. The PNG is a lossless copy of what the JPG already contained.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG?
PNG stores every pixel without discarding anything, while JPG compresses aggressively. For photos a PNG is commonly several times larger. If size matters, consider WebP instead.
Can I make the background transparent after converting?
Converting does not remove backgrounds. The PNG keeps the same background as the JPG. Use an image editor to cut it out afterwards.
Does the PNG keep the original image dimensions?
Yes. Width and height stay the same, only the format changes.
Is PNG better than JPG?
It depends on the use. PNG is better for graphics, text and editing. JPG is better for photos you only need to view or share, because the files are smaller.
Is it free to convert JPG to PNG?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my files kept after conversion?
No. Uploaded files are processed and deleted after your download. We do not keep a library of your files.
Is there a file size limit?
Uploads are capped at 50 MB per image.
