About the JPG to PNG

Some editors, slide templates and print services ask for PNG, and PNG is a safe format to keep editing in because saving again never loses quality. This tool turns a JPG into a PNG in your browser with no settings to choose: the pixels are copied as they are and written to a lossless file, ready to download as soon as it loads.

What you can do

• Drop a JPG and get a PNG straight away, without picking options.
• Keep exactly the same width, height and colours as the original.
• See how the file size changes before you download.
• Rename the PNG on the download screen.

When it works best

• Uploading to a tool or template that only accepts PNG.
• Making a working copy of a photo that you plan to edit and save many times.
• Preparing an image for software that handles PNG more reliably than JPG.

Things to know

• The JPG never leaves your computer; the browser does the conversion.
• Expect the PNG to be larger, often several times, because lossless storage of a photo takes more space.
• Converting does not undo JPG compression. Blockiness already in the file stays.
• The background does not become transparent, since the JPG had no transparency to keep. For a smaller modern file, try Convert Image with WebP.
