About JPG to PNG
What this conversion does
JPG is the format every program, phone and printer already opens, which is why so many things ask for it. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so it is what screenshots, icons and graphics get saved as. This page moves a JPG to a PNG in your own browser: the file is read, re-encoded and handed back without being uploaded.
PNG is lossless, so nothing further is thrown away. Where the JPG was already lossy, that stops the damage rather than repairing it.
Why convert JPG to PNG
- You have a JPG and the app, site or device you are sending it to wants a PNG.
- You want the PNG file without installing a converter or handing your picture to a website.
What to expect
- The conversion runs on your own machine, so there is no upload size limit and no queue on someone else's server.
JPG to PNG questions
Is converting JPG to PNG free?
Yes, and there is nothing to unlock. The conversion runs in your browser, so there is
no account, nothing to pay and no licence key to enter. Every format and every
feature on the site is available to everyone.
Are my JPG files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your file is decoded and re-encoded inside this tab and never uploaded. The ads on this page are served by Google and do see that you are here, but they never see your file. You can check it yourself: open the network panel and search for a request carrying your picture.
Is the PNG really lossless?
The PNG is lossless, so this conversion adds no quality loss of its own. It cannot put back detail the JPG already discarded, because that information is not in the file any more.
Can I convert more than one JPG file at once?
Yes. Drop a batch onto the page and every file is converted in the
queue, then downloaded together. The queue also shows the size before and after, so you
can see what the conversion saved. There is no cap on how many files you convert at once;
the only real limit is what your device can hold in memory at the same time.
