Will converting to PNG improve the quality?

No, and this is the single most common misunderstanding about it. JPEG permanently discards detail when it saves. PNG stores whatever it is given without losing anything more — but there is nothing left to recover. You get the same picture in a larger file. Anyone promising otherwise is selling something.

Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG was?

Because lossless compression has to keep every pixel, and a photograph has millions of slightly different ones. Worse, JPEG's own artefacts add noise that PNG then has to store faithfully. Three to five times the size is normal for a photo; for a flat graphic the gap is much smaller.

Does the PNG get a transparent background?

No. PNG supports transparency, but a JPG has none to carry over, so every pixel stays opaque. If you need a transparent background you have to remove it deliberately — converting the format cannot invent it.

Should I use WebP instead?

Often, yes. WebP is lossless too if you want it to be, supports transparency, and produces much smaller files than PNG. The only reason to prefer PNG is software that will not accept anything else — which, to be fair, is the usual reason people are on this page.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device, so your images are never sent to us or to anyone else. You can check by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded — the tool keeps working.

Can I convert several JPG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, or drop a whole folder in. Each file is handled on its own and gets its own PNG to download, so a file that cannot be read does not stop the others.

Does converting remove the photo's location data?

Usually, yes. Writing a new file drops the hidden metadata a camera or phone attaches, including GPS coordinates. That is often useful before sharing a photo publicly, but do not lean on it as a privacy tool — check the file yourself if it matters.

JPG to PNG Converter

Some software only takes PNG, and this converts your JPGs in the browser without uploading them. It is worth knowing up front that the file will get bigger and the picture will not get better — PNG stores pixels exactly, but it cannot recover detail a JPG already threw away.

How it works

Three steps to a PNG

1
Add your JPG files
Drag them in, paste from your clipboard, or tap to browse. A whole folder at once is fine.
2
Check the settings
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so there is nothing to trade off. Convert whenever you are ready.
3
Download
Save your PNG files. Nothing was sent anywhere, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

Why this one

Why convert JPG to PNG here

Why anyone actually needs this

Almost always because something downstream demands it: a print shop, a design tool that refuses JPGs, a game engine, or a system that expects an alpha channel even when the image has no transparency in it. Those are good reasons. Getting a sharper picture is not one, and no converter can offer it.

02
It will get bigger, and that is correct
PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly as it finds them — including the compression artefacts JPEG left behind. Expect the file to grow, often by three to five times. That is the format doing its job, not the tool failing at its own.
03
Nothing is uploaded
Your JPG files are read and written inside your own browser. Nothing is sent to us, which is why there is no size cap beyond what your device can hold and no queue to wait in.
04
A whole folder at once
Drop in as many JPG files as you like. Each one is converted separately and gets its own result, so one awkward file cannot spoil the rest of the batch.
05
It shows you the real numbers
Every file reports what it weighed before and after, and which way it moved. Where another format would have come out meaningfully smaller than PNG, that is offered next to the file instead of being quietly withheld.

Who it's for

When you'd use it

Someone sending artwork to a printer
Print shops and sign makers often specify PNG or TIFF in their upload rules and reject anything else, whatever the picture actually looks like.
Someone with a folder of them
A batch that all needs to be PNG before it goes anywhere — dropped in together rather than converted one at a time.
Someone on a work laptop
Software installs are blocked and the files are not theirs to upload to a stranger's server. A browser tab is the only tool available, and it is enough.
