Why convert JPG to PNG?
PNG is a lossless format. Once your picture is a PNG, you can edit and save it again and again without it losing more quality, which is exactly what designers want before retouching or adding text.
Many logo editors, presentation tools and print workflows ask for PNG files, and PNG keeps sharp edges on screenshots, diagrams and text far better than JPG.
Converting a JPG to PNG cannot bring back detail that JPG compression already removed, and PNG files are usually larger. The goal is to stop further quality loss from this point on.

Frequently asked questions
Will converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
No. The conversion keeps the image exactly as it is now and prevents further quality loss, but it cannot restore detail that was lost when the JPG was first saved.
Why is my PNG file bigger than the JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, which stores every pixel exactly. Photos saved as PNG are therefore often two to five times larger than the same JPG.
Does the PNG get a transparent background?
No. A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG keeps the same background. You would need a background remover to make it transparent.
Can I convert many JPG files at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many images as you like, convert them in one click and download them together as a ZIP file.
