How to Convert JPG to PNG (Free, in Your Browser)

JPG and PNG are the two most common image formats, and converting between them is a frequent need — especially when you want transparency or lossless quality. Here is how to convert JPG to PNG for free in your browser.

Convert JPG to PNG in 3 steps

1. Open the free JPG to PNG converter.
2. Upload your JPG image.
3. Click convert and download the PNG.

The image is processed on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

When should you use PNG instead of JPG?

• You need transparency. PNG supports transparent backgrounds; JPG does not.
• You want lossless quality. PNG does not re-compress and lose detail, which is ideal for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges.
• You will edit the image repeatedly. Each JPG save loses a little quality; PNG does not.

If your goal is the smallest file for a website, consider WebP instead, or compress the result with the Image Compressor.

Going the other way

Need to shrink a PNG photo? Convert it with PNG to JPG — JPG is usually much smaller for photographs.

Frequently asked questions

Will the file get bigger? Often yes — PNG is lossless, so photos can grow. For photos, JPG or WebP is smaller.

Are my images uploaded? No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser.
