JPG to PNG Converter - Convert JPEG to PNG Free

Convert JPG images to PNG format online instantly. Support for transparency, lossless quality, and batch conversion. Free tool, no upload required.

When to Convert JPG to PNG

JPG and PNG serve different purposes. JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression, making it ideal for photographs where smaller file sizes matter. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for logos, graphics, screenshots, and any image requiring sharp edges or alpha channels.

Convert JPG to PNG when you need transparency support, when you'll edit the image multiple times (PNG doesn't degrade), or when working with graphics that have text, lines, or sharp color transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between JPG and PNG?
JPG uses lossy compression ideal for photos with many colors. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for logos, graphics, and images requiring alpha channels.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
Convert to PNG when you need transparency support, lossless quality, or when working with graphics that require sharp edges (logos, text, diagrams). PNG is also better for images that will be edited multiple times.
Will file size increase when converting?
Yes, PNG files are typically 2-5x larger than JPG because PNG uses lossless compression. However, you gain transparency support and zero quality loss from compression artifacts.
Can I convert multiple JPG files at once?
Absolutely! Our batch converter lets you select dozens or hundreds of JPG files and convert them all to PNG simultaneously. Download individually or as a ZIP archive.
Does JPG to PNG conversion preserve quality?
The conversion preserves the existing quality, but it won't restore quality lost from original JPG compression. Think of it as transferring the current state to a lossless format.
Can PNG have transparency but JPG cannot?
Correct! PNG supports an alpha channel (transparency), while JPG does not. When you convert JPG to PNG, the background will remain opaque unless you manually remove it afterward.
When should I use JPG instead of PNG?
Use JPG for photographs and images with lots of colors where file size matters more than perfect quality. Use PNG for graphics, logos, text, and anything requiring transparency.
Is the conversion process private?
Yes, 100% private. All conversions happen in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.
