Convert JPG to PNG

JPG to PNG converter that runs entirely in your browser. 100% free, no signup, no upload — your files never leave your device. One-click batch conversion.

Converting JPG to PNG gives a lossless, transparency-ready file but will NOT undo quality already lost in the JPG. Use it when you need transparency, plan to re-edit, or target sharp-edged graphics; for photos you'll keep sharing, leave them as JPG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting JPG to PNG free?

Yes. This JPG → PNG converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert JPG to PNG?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my JPG files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire JPG → PNG conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple JPG files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many JPG files as you like and convert them to PNG in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will converting JPG to PNG lose quality?

No. PNG is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your JPG file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.

Does PNG support transparency from JPG?

Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so any transparent regions of your JPG file will be preserved as transparent in the converted file.

Will the converted PNG file be larger than the JPG?

Usually yes — converting from a lossy format to a lossless one means the PNG file preserves full detail and therefore grows compared to the JPG original. Expect a roughly 30–60% size increase for typical content.
