When converting JPG to PNG makes sense
Converting does not restore detail that JPG compression already removed, and the PNG will usually be larger than the JPG. For a smaller file, keep JPG or use the image compressor.
- You will edit the image again: PNG does not lose quality each time you save.
- An app or website specifically requires PNG.
- You want to add transparency later in an editor.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works even offline once the page has loaded.
Can I convert many JPG files at once?
Yes. Drop or select as many files as you like; each one is converted in turn and gets its own download button, or download them all as a ZIP.
Why is the PNG larger than my JPG?
PNG stores every pixel exactly (lossless). Photos usually get bigger, while flat graphics and screenshots may get smaller.
