Why convert JPG to PNG
PNG is lossless, meaning it keeps an exact copy with no further quality loss. People convert a JPG to PNG when they want to edit it without the quality dropping each time they save, or when a tool or website asks for a PNG. It is also handy when you plan to add transparency in an editor, since PNG can hold clear areas.
It will not undo JPG loss
A JPG has already lost some detail through its compression. Turning it into a PNG cannot bring that detail back. The PNG simply stores the JPG image exactly as it is now, blur and all. So converting protects the image from further loss, but it does not improve what is already there.
Expect a bigger file
Because PNG keeps every pixel exactly, a photo saved as PNG is much larger than the same photo as JPG. That is normal. If you need a small file for upload or email, JPG is the better choice. Use PNG when quality and editing matter more than size.
FAQ
Will converting to PNG make my JPG look better?
No. The JPG has already dropped some detail, and PNG cannot restore it. PNG just stops any more loss from happening.
Why is the PNG so much larger?
PNG stores every pixel exactly, with no lossy compression. For a photo that means a big file, often several times the JPG size.
Does the JPG gain transparency?
No, not by itself. The clear-area support is there in PNG, but the image has no transparency until you add it in an editor.
When should I use PNG over JPG?
Use PNG for editing, for graphics with sharp edges, and when you need transparency. Use JPG for small photo files.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is saved.
Why convert a JPG to PNG?
PNG is lossless, so edits and re-saves do not stack up more blur. Convert JPG to PNG before editing screenshots or graphics. JPEG to PNG will not restore detail the JPG already lost, but it stops further loss.
