JPG to PNG Converter
No upload · Runs in your browserWhy convert JPG to PNG
JPG loses a little quality every time it's saved. If you'll repeatedly add text, crop and re-save a photo, converting it to PNG first means quality won't drop any further with each save. It's also useful when design software or some printing and sticker shops require PNG files.
What not to expect
- Blur and block noise won't disappear. Detail lost to JPG compression can't be recovered; PNG only preserves the pixels you see now exactly.
- The background won't become transparent. JPG has no transparency data, so a white background stays white in PNG. To remove the background, use a background remover.
- Files get bigger. For photos, 3–10 times the original JPG size is typical.
Orientation and metadata
JPGs shot in portrait on a phone store rotation in the EXIF orientation tag. During conversion, that rotation is applied to the pixels first, so the PNG displays the right way up. However, EXIF such as date taken and GPS isn't kept in PNG. If you need to keep that information, leave the file as JPG and see the EXIF guide. The format comparison is under PNG.
How to use
- Pick an output format in the options panel on the right (below on mobile). For JPG, WebP and AVIF you can set the quality, and for JPG you can choose a background color for transparent areas.
- Drag and drop your images or click to select them. Add several at once and they are converted one after another right away.
- If the original contains metadata such as camera model, date taken or GPS location, it is shown below. By default everything is removed; when saving as JPG you can also remove only the location or keep the original data.
- After changing options, click ‘Convert again with new settings’. Download results one by one or all at once as a ZIP.
