Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. PNG is lossless, but the JPEG artefacts introduced during the original JPEG compression are permanently embedded in the pixel data. Converting to PNG preserves those pixels exactly — it doesn't reconstruct lost detail. Think of it as making a high-quality photocopy of a lower-quality print.

Why would I convert JPG to PNG?

The most common reasons: (1) You want to edit the image in a tool like Photoshop and re-save multiple times without accumulating more JPEG artefacts. (2) You need a format that supports transparency (though you'd need to add the transparent areas yourself after conversion). (3) A tool or workflow you're using requires PNG format.

Will the PNG have a larger file size than the JPG?

Yes, often significantly — typically 3–8× larger, depending on the image. This is expected and not a problem; PNG's advantage is lossless quality preservation for editing, not file size. If you need small file sizes, keep using JPG or convert to WebP.

Does JPG support EXIF orientation? Will the PNG be rotated correctly?

Yes — our converter reads the EXIF orientation tag from your JPEG and applies the correct rotation/flip to the raw pixel data before encoding the PNG. So your portrait iPhone photos will be right-side up in the PNG output without any manual rotation.

Can I convert JPG to transparent PNG?

Not automatically — JPEG files don't store transparency information, so there's no transparency data to preserve. You'd need to use an image editor to remove backgrounds after conversion. For web images with white backgrounds you want to make transparent, tools like Remove.bg are designed for exactly this.

How to use this tool

Drop your JPEG files
Drag JPG or JPEG files onto the converter, use the file picker, or paste from your clipboard. Batch conversion is supported.
Let the converter run
No settings needed — PNG is lossless, so the only option is "best quality." The JPEG is decoded to raw pixels and re-encoded as PNG.
Download your PNG files
Each PNG preserves the full pixel data from your JPEG. Download individually or as a ZIP. Your files never leave your browser.
Edit without re-compression
Open the PNG in Photoshop, GIMP, or any editor. You can save changes as PNG repeatedly without any quality loss. Only export back to JPG when you're done editing.
