About JPG to PNG Converter

Last updated: October 2026

Converting JPG to PNG does not improve the image - the compression artefacts a JPEG already carries are baked into its pixels and no conversion undoes them. What it does give you is a lossless container, which matters when the file is going to be edited and re-saved repeatedly, pasted into software that expects PNG, or used somewhere an alpha channel will be added later. Each re-save of a JPEG degrades it again; a PNG can be opened and written a hundred times and come out identical. This converter decodes the JPEG in your browser and writes a PNG with OxiPNG, which searches for the smallest lossless encoding, so the file is as small as lossless allows. Expect it to be larger than the JPEG regardless - that is what lossless costs. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and there is no limit on how many files you convert.

How It Works

The JPEG is decoded in your browser to raw pixels, then written as PNG with OxiPNG compiled to WebAssembly, which tries multiple lossless strategies and keeps the smallest. Everything runs on your own CPU, so no file is uploaded and there is no size or batch limit.

Use Cases

  • •Getting a lossless working copy before a round of edits that will be saved repeatedly
  • •Meeting a PNG-only requirement in a CMS, design tool or upload form
  • •Preparing a photo for background removal, which needs an alpha-capable output format
  • •Converting JPEG assets for software that will not accept them
  • •Batch-converting a set of photos into PNG for an editing pipeline

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting to PNG improve the image?
No, and it is worth being clear about that. JPEG compression artefacts are part of the pixel data; a PNG reproduces them exactly rather than removing them. What you gain is a format that will not degrade further each time it is saved - the quality you have is the quality you keep.
Then why convert at all?
Because of what happens next. If the file is going into repeated rounds of editing and saving, PNG stops the losses compounding. Some software and some upload paths require PNG. And if you plan to cut out a background, you need a format with an alpha channel to save the result into.
Will the PNG be transparent?
Not by itself. A JPEG has no transparency to carry over, so the PNG starts fully opaque - it simply has an alpha channel available for you to use. To actually remove a background, use the Background Remover, which outputs a transparent PNG directly.
Why is the file so much larger?
Lossless compression cannot match lossy compression on photographic content. A photo as PNG is commonly several times the size of the JPEG. If you need a smaller file rather than a lossless one, converting to PNG is working against you.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The decode and the PNG encode both run in your browser on your own device. No server sees the image, there is no account, and there is no cap on file size or batch size.
