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.
