Convert JPG/JPEG images to PNG format. Lossless conversion for higher quality editing.
JPG's lossy compression recompresses the image slightly every time it's saved, which compounds visible artifacts around text and sharp edges across multiple edit rounds. Converting to PNG creates a lossless copy at the current quality level - no further quality is lost on subsequent saves.
This tool doesn't restore quality already lost in the original JPG; it simply stops any further loss from this point on. The conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Every time a JPG is opened and re-saved, its lossy compression adds a fresh round of artifacts - especially around text and sharp edges. Converting to PNG locks in a lossless copy so further edits, saves, and re-exports don't degrade the image any further.

photo.png - 512x512, same visual content, lossless, several times largerPNG's lossless compression produces a noticeably bigger file than the JPG it came from - for a detailed, photo-like image the increase can be dramatic. The size jump is much smaller for flat, simple graphics with fewer distinct colors.
Convert a JPG to PNG before a series of edits and re-saves, so later saves don't add another round of JPG compression artifacts.
Convert to PNG first, then use the Background Remover to actually strip the background - the format conversion alone doesn't do this.
Convert a JPG screenshot to PNG before adding it to documentation, so text and UI edges don't carry JPG artifacts into the final document.
Problem
Solution
A JPG has no transparency data at all, so there's nothing for the conversion to carry over - the PNG has the exact same solid background as the source. If you need transparency, convert to PNG first, then use the Background Remover.
Problem
Solution
PNG's lossless compression is inherently less space-efficient than JPG for photographic content. A larger output file is expected, not a bug - use the Image Compressor or PNG to JPG if the file needs to be smaller again.
Problem
Solution
This conversion is lossless from this point forward, but it can't undo compression artifacts already baked into the source JPG. Start from the highest-quality JPG available if artifact-free results matter.
Since this conversion can't remove artifacts already present in the JPG, start from the best available version of the image rather than a heavily compressed copy.
If the goal is a transparent-background asset, run the JPG through this converter first, then through the Background Remover - conversion and background removal are two separate steps.
PNG output is larger than the source JPG, especially for photos. If file size is a concern, run the result through the Image Compressor.
A JPG has no alpha channel, so there's no transparency to carry over. The output PNG has the same solid background as the source image.
The conversion is lossless going forward, but any blur or blockiness already present in the source JPG carries over unchanged into the PNG.
PNG's lossless compression is less space-efficient than JPG for photographic content - expect the output file to be noticeably bigger, sometimes several times the size.
Converting format and removing a background are two different operations - this tool only does the first one.
| JPG to PNG (this tool) | Background Remover | |
|---|---|---|
| What it changes | File format only - lossless copy, same visible background | Removes the background, replacing it with transparency |
| Output | PNG with the same solid background as the source | PNG with a transparent background |
| When to use | Preparing a lossless file for further editing | When you specifically need the background gone |
Which should you use?
For a transparent-background asset, use both tools in sequence: convert JPG to PNG here first, then remove the background with the Background Remover.
The most common misunderstanding with this conversion is thinking it makes the background transparent - it doesn't. The FAQ below explains what actually changes and what to do if transparency is what you need.
No. A JPG has no transparency data at all, so there is nothing for the conversion to carry over - the PNG keeps the exact same solid background as the source JPG. If you need a transparent background, convert to PNG here first, then run the result through the Background Remover.
PNG uses lossless compression, which is far less space-efficient than JPG's lossy compression for photographic content. A bigger file is expected, especially for detailed photos - use the Image Compressor or convert back with PNG to JPG if the file needs to be smaller.
No. It stops any further quality loss from this point forward, but it can't undo compression artifacts already present in the source JPG. Start from the best available copy of the image if quality matters.
