Why Convert JPG to PNG?

JPEG is the go-to format for photographs and web images thanks to its efficient lossy compression. However, every time you re-save a JPEG, it loses a tiny bit more detail. Converting to PNG freezes your image in a lossless format, meaning no further quality loss will occur regardless of how many times the file is opened and saved. PNG also supports alpha transparency, making it essential for logos, icons, overlays, and any graphic that needs to sit on varying backgrounds. If you plan to edit an image extensively, converting from JPG to PNG first ensures each save cycle does not introduce new compression artifacts.

JPG vs PNG Comparison

JPEG uses lossy compression that discards imperceptible visual data, producing small files ideal for photographs. PNG uses lossless compression that preserves every single pixel, resulting in larger files but perfect fidelity. JPEG does not support transparency while PNG supports full alpha channel transparency. For photography and web delivery where small size matters, JPEG wins. For graphics, screenshots, text-heavy images, and anything requiring transparency or future editing, PNG is the superior choice. A typical 5 MP photo might be 1 MB as JPEG but 8-12 MB as PNG, so be mindful of file size increases when converting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
Converting JPG to PNG does not restore quality lost during JPEG compression, but it prevents any further quality degradation. PNG is a lossless format, so once converted, the image will remain at its current quality level through any number of saves or edits.
Why is my PNG file larger than the original JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel exactly. JPEG uses lossy compression that discards some visual data to achieve smaller files. The trade-off for PNG's perfect quality is a larger file size, typically 3-5x bigger than an equivalent JPEG.
Will my JPG gain transparency when converted to PNG?
The converted PNG file will support transparency, but the original JPEG pixels will all remain opaque. To add transparency, you would need to edit the PNG after conversion using an image editor to remove backgrounds or make areas transparent.
Can I batch convert multiple JPG files to PNG at once?
Yes, this tool supports batch conversion. You can drag and drop multiple JPG files at once and convert them all to PNG simultaneously. Use the Download All button to get a ZIP archive of all converted files.
