JPG to PNG

To convert JPG to PNG, choose your photos above: each JPG is decoded in your browser and saved as a lossless PNG, without the location, date and camera data the original carried. You can convert several at once and download them one by one or as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.

When converting JPG to PNG makes sense

A PNG made from a JPG doesn't look better than the JPG. It is the same picture, stored differently. That still helps in a few real situations:

• You're going to edit it more than once. Every time a JPG is saved, it is compressed again and loses a little detail. Converting to PNG first means later saves lose nothing more.
• A form or tool asks for PNG. Some design tools, print templates, app stores and sticker makers accept only PNG.
• You'll add text or graphics on top. Sharp lettering and flat colors look cleaner saved in PNG than in JPG, which smears edges.
• You want a clean copy without metadata in a format that won't degrade.

When it doesn't make sense: to make a photo smaller (PNG is bigger), or to get a transparent background (a JPG has none to keep).

How to use the converter

1. Choose one or more JPG files, or drop them in on a computer. Other images your browser opens are accepted too.
2. The output is preset to PNG, which is lossless, so there is no quality setting.
3. Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.

You can switch the output to JPG or WebP above the results if you need a smaller file.

What changes when JPG becomes PNG

Quality: nothing gained, nothing more lost. JPG compression artifacts, such as blocky gradients or halos around edges, are part of the pixels and come through unchanged.

Size goes up. A 3 MB phone photo can become 10–20 MB as PNG. If that's too heavy, reduce the pixel dimensions with the image resizer, or keep it as JPG and use the image compressor.

No transparency appears. The background stays whatever color it was in the JPG.

Orientation is fixed. Phone JPGs often store rotation as a metadata flag. The tool applies it before saving, so the PNG stands the right way up everywhere, even in apps that ignore the flag.

Colors are saved in sRGB, the standard for screens.

Metadata is removed. JPGs from phones and cameras carry EXIF: GPS coordinates, date and time, device model, lens and settings. The image is redrawn into a new file, so none of that is copied. Check any file with the photo metadata viewer. If all you want is to strip metadata and keep the JPG format, the EXIF remover is the more direct tool.

Cropping before you convert

If you're preparing an image for a template or a profile, cropping first saves weight and time: the image cropper has 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16 and 3:2 frames and exact pixel inputs, and can save directly as PNG.

Photos that shouldn't live in the camera roll

People often reach for a JPG-to-PNG converter while preparing something official: a photo for an ID application, a scan of a signed document, a picture of a prescription to send to a clinic. The converted copy is clean, but the original JPG, with its location and timestamp, usually stays in the camera roll and syncs to the cloud.

sigil. gives those photos a separate place. Imported photos are encrypted on your phone with a 256-bit key that only your sign unlocks, EXIF and location are stripped on import and on export, and its private camera takes pictures that never land in the Camera Roll.
