# Convert JPG to PNG

Make PNG copies of your JPG images when an app or site demands PNG, or when you want to edit without losing more quality each time you save.

## How to use it

1. Choose your JPG images.
2. Press Convert to PNG.
3. Download the PNG files, or all of them as a ZIP.

## When a PNG is what you need

- **Editing in steps**: every time a JPG is saved it loses a little more detail. Convert to PNG once, edit and save as often as you like, and export a JPG at the end.
- **Sites and apps that only take PNG**, such as some icon, sticker and print-on-demand uploads.
- **Adding transparency later**: cut out a background in your editor and save the PNG with its transparent areas.

## What converting does not do

A PNG made from a JPG looks exactly like the JPG, including any blur or compression marks it already had; converting cannot bring back lost detail. It also does not make the background transparent by itself: white stays white until you remove it in an editor.

Expect the PNG to be larger than the JPG, often 3 to 10 times for photos. If the goal is a smaller file, you want [Compress JPEG](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/compress-jpeg) instead.

## Private conversion

The conversion runs in your browser; the images are never uploaded. Convert one picture or a hundred, with no account, ads or watermark.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. The PNG keeps the image exactly as it is now; it only stops further loss when you edit and save again.

### Will the background become transparent?

No. The image is copied as it is. Remove the background in an image editor, then save as PNG to keep the transparency.

### Why is the PNG bigger?

PNG is lossless and stores every pixel exactly, which takes more space for photos.

### Are my images uploaded?

No. They are converted on your device.
