About the JPG to PNG
Convert JPG/JPEG photos to PNG. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it ideal for editing and graphics.
Key features
- Batch convert many JPG/JPEG files at once
- Lossless PNG output, no further quality loss
- Respects EXIF orientation so photos aren't sideways
- Strips EXIF metadata such as GPS location
- Download individually or as a ZIP
- Converted in your browser; images are never uploaded
Why convert JPG to PNG?
JPG (JPEG) is perfect for photos: small files with good visual quality. But every time a JPG is edited and saved, it loses a little more quality. PNG is lossless: what you save is exactly what you get back. Converting to PNG is the right move when you plan to edit an image repeatedly, need a format a specific tool requires, or want to keep crisp edges in screenshots and graphics.
JPG vs. PNG
| JPG / JPEG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Best for | Photographs | Screenshots, logos, text, UI, diagrams |
| Transparency | ❌ | ✅ |
| Quality after re-saving | Degrades each time | Never degrades |
| File size for photos | Small | Large |
| File size for graphics | Medium (with artifacts) | Small and sharp |
When to use PNG
- Editing workflows. Convert to PNG before cropping, annotating and re-saving many times.
- Screenshots and UI mockups. Text and sharp lines stay crisp.
- Uploading to tools that require PNG, like some app stores, icon generators and design tools.
- Adding transparency later in an editor such as Photoshop, GIMP, Figma or Canva.
How the conversion works
Each image is decoded by your browser, drawn onto a canvas at its full original resolution, and encoded as PNG. Orientation from the camera's EXIF data is applied, so portrait photos stay upright. Nothing is uploaded, which makes it safe for personal photos and confidential images.
Tips
- Keep the original JPG if file size matters; the PNG will be larger.
- For the web, consider JPG to WebP, which produces smaller files than both.
- Reduce size afterwards with the Image Compressor.
