    About JPG to PNG

    When is it useful? Convert JPG to PNG when an app or website asks for PNG, or when you plan to edit the picture many times — PNG is lossless, so saving it again does not reduce quality further.

    Good to know: converting cannot bring back detail that JPG compression already removed, and the PNG file is usually larger than the JPG. The picture size and colours stay the same.

    Tips for Better Results

    • Use PNG if you will edit and save the picture many times.
    • The PNG will usually be larger than your JPG — that is normal.
    • Converting does not make the background transparent by itself.

    Why convert JPG to PNG

    Some apps, games, printers, design tools and upload forms ask specifically for PNG. PNG is also the better working format when you will edit a picture many times: every time a JPG is saved it loses a little quality, while a PNG can be saved again and again without any further loss.

    What happens when you convert

    The JPG is opened in your browser and saved as a PNG with exactly the same width, height and colours. Nothing is cropped or resized. Several JPG files can be converted at once and downloaded together.

    What converting cannot do

    Converting does not improve the picture: blur, noise or blocky marks already in the JPG stay in the PNG. It also does not remove the background — a JPG has no transparency, so the PNG has the same solid background. And because PNG is lossless, the new file is usually several times larger than the JPG.

    Common problems and how to fix them

    The PNG is too large for an upload: PNG is not the right format for big photos — use the original JPG or Compress Image. You wanted a transparent background: you need a background-removal editor; this tool does not cut out objects. Colours look slightly different in another app: some programs show colour profiles differently; the pixel values themselves are unchanged.

    Good habits

    Convert to PNG at the start of an editing project, keep JPG for sharing finished photos, and store your original camera files separately.
