Need a PNG but only have a JPG? To convert JPG to PNG free, drop the files anywhere on this page and each one becomes a lossless PNG at full resolution. Your images stay completely private: no upload, no file cap, no signup.
When you actually need PNG
Three real reasons. One: you're about to edit the image repeatedly, and PNG is lossless, so nothing degrades no matter how many times you save. Two: a print pipeline or design tool insists on it. Three: an upload form or app simply rejects JPG. If none of those apply, your JPG was probably fine as it was.
PNG stores pixels exactly, and that costs bytes
JPG compresses photos by throwing away detail your eye barely notices. PNG keeps every pixel exactly as-is. That's why a PNG of a photo is usually several times bigger than the JPG it came from. You're trading file size for a guarantee: from this point on, nothing else gets lost.
FAQ
Will the PNG look better than my JPG?
No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. JPG compression already discarded some detail, and no format change can bring it back. The PNG looks exactly like the JPG. What it does is stop any further loss from future edits and saves.
Why is the PNG bigger than the JPG?
Because PNG is lossless storage. It records every pixel exactly, while JPG cheats cleverly. A photo that's 2 MB as a JPG can easily be 8 MB as a PNG. That's normal and expected.
Are my images private?
Completely. Each JPG converts on the spot and the PNG saves straight to your Downloads folder. Your images are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone. Skeptical? Here's how to check.
