JPG/JPEG to PNG
Input guidance: This page is written for JPG/JPEG files, but the converter still accepts the other supported image, SVG, TIFF, HEIC/HEIF, and PDF inputs.
Output preset: PNG is selected first. You can change the dropdown before converting any file.
Convert locally
Convert JPEG photos to PNG when you need a PNG file for an editor, document, or upload field. PNG is selected by default on this conversion page.
Why export JPG as PNG?
PNG is useful when another app specifically requires it or when you want a lossless working copy before adding annotations, overlays, or other edits.
File size expectations
A JPG photo converted to PNG often gets larger. The conversion changes the container and encoding, but it cannot recover detail lost in the original JPEG compression.
Limitations to know
- PNG output can be larger than the source JPG.
- Converting to PNG does not undo JPG compression artifacts already in the image.

Frequently asked questions
Is JPG to PNG free?
Yes. JPG to PNG is free, runs in your browser, and does not require an account or add a watermark.
Will JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG is lossless, but it cannot remove JPG compression artifacts that are already baked into the source image. It preserves the image as-is in a lossless container.
Why is the PNG file bigger than the JPG?
PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression, so a converted photo is often larger than the original JPG. That is expected.
When should I convert JPG to PNG?
Convert when a tool or upload field requires PNG, or when you want a lossless working copy before adding annotations or other edits.
