How to convert JPG to PNG

Drop one or more JPG files into the box, or click it to choose them.
Keep the background, or pick "Make white transparent" for a design on a plain white background.
Click "Download PNG" under each file.

Nothing leaves your device. Your browser opens the JPG, draws it onto a canvas and saves the canvas as PNG.

JPG or PNG: which one to use

	JPG	PNG
Compression	Lossy: it drops detail to make the file small	Lossless: every pixel stays as it is
Transparency	No	Yes
File size for a photo	Small	Much bigger. The tool shows both sizes
Good for	Photos	Logos, clipart, text, t-shirt designs

What converting does not do

It does not bring back quality. Detail the JPG lost when it was saved stays lost. The PNG keeps what is there, blocky edges included.
It does not keep the metadata. Title, keywords, copyright and camera data in the JPG are not copied into the PNG. If you sell the file, add the title and keywords again after you convert.
"Make white transparent" is not a background remover. It clears every pixel close to white, also white parts inside the design. It works for flat art on a plain white background, not for photos.
"Too big for this browser". Every browser has a canvas size limit. Safari on iPhone stops much earlier than desktop Chrome. Use a desktop browser for very big files.

Common questions about the JPG to PNG converter

Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?

No. Converting a JPG to PNG does not bring back quality. Detail the JPG lost when it was saved stays lost, and the PNG keeps what is there, blocky edges included. PNG is lossless, so from that point on every pixel stays as it is. The JPG to PNG converter keeps the same pixel size as the JPG.

Is the JPG to PNG converter free, and are my files uploaded?

The JPG to PNG converter is free and needs no signup. Your files are not uploaded. Your browser opens each JPG, draws it onto a canvas and saves the canvas as PNG, all on your own device. You can drop several JPG files at once and download a full-size PNG of each one.

Can I get a transparent background when I convert JPG to PNG?

Yes, for flat art on a plain white background. Pick "Make white transparent" and the JPG to PNG converter clears every pixel close to white. It also clears white parts inside the design, so it is not a background remover and does not work for photos. You can choose pure white only, near white, or light grey too.

Why is the PNG file bigger than the JPG?

A PNG of a photo is much bigger than the JPG because PNG is lossless. JPG drops detail to make the file small, while PNG keeps every pixel as it is. The JPG to PNG converter shows both file sizes under each file. Keep photos as JPG, and use PNG for logos, clipart, text and t-shirt designs.
