Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?+
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser and your photo is never sent anywhere.
Does converting improve the quality?+
No. PNG prevents further loss, but information already discarded by JPG compression is gone.
Why did the file get bigger?+
PNG is lossless, so growth is expected for photos. If size matters, choose JPG instead.
Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?+
No. Detail already lost to JPG compression does not come back. Converting to PNG only stops it degrading further, at a larger file size. It is worth doing when you plan to edit and re-save the image repeatedly.
Is there a file size limit?+
No server limits. Smartphone photos are effortless, and desktops handle files up to tens of MB.
Is it really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no payment, no conversion limits and no watermark.
Can I pick a different output format?+
Yes — on the converter you can switch the output between JPG, PNG and WebP.
Guide
Why convert JPG to PNG?
PNG (PNG) is lossless — you can re-save it through editors without quality stacking up losses, which makes it the right input for editing and retouching work.
Some upload sites and document editors only accept PNG, and it's also the format to be in if you'll work with transparency later.
Where do JPG files come from?
JPG (JPEG) has been the common language of photography since the standard landed in 1992. Digital cameras, Android phones and iPhones set to 'Most Compatible' all save JPG, and effectively every program and service can read it.
Its weaknesses are lossy compression and no transparency. Quality erodes a little each time a file is opened and re-saved, backgrounds cannot be transparent, and screenshots full of text and lines come out with messy edges — which is when people move to PNG or WebP.
What happens to quality and size?
PNG is lossless, so the conversion itself loses nothing. It can't restore what JPG compression already discarded, though — quality stays at your original's level.
For photographic content PNG files can get considerably bigger (the cost of lossless). Use JPG for sharing and uploads, PNG for editing.
