Convert to

JPG is built for sharing photos, but it has two limits: every save loses a little more detail, and it can't store transparency. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless copy — pixel for pixel — which is what you want before editing an image, layering it, or working with a transparent background.

When to convert JPG to PNG

  • You'll edit and re-save the image repeatedly — PNG doesn't degrade each time.
  • It has crisp text, lines or a screenshot that JPG would smudge.
  • You want to add or keep transparency in an editor.
  • A tool or platform specifically asks for PNG.

A note on file size

PNG is lossless, so a photo saved as PNG is usually larger than the JPG. That's the trade for keeping every pixel — use PNG when quality and editability matter more than size.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No — it can't restore detail the JPG already discarded. What it does is stop any further loss, which is why it's useful right before you edit an image.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
Converting doesn't add transparency — the JPG has none to begin with. But PNG supports it, so afterwards you can erase the background in an editor without the format getting in the way.
Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless and keeps every pixel, so photos come out larger. That's expected — it's the cost of perfect quality.
