Why convert JPEG to PNG?

Some apps, print services and upload forms only take PNG. Convert your JPEG and you get a PNG that works there. The PNG looks like the JPEG: detail the JPEG lost doesn't come back.

JPEG vs PNG

JPEG is the smaller format for photos and opens everywhere. PNG suits logos, screenshots and cut-outs, and supports transparency. Convert a JPEG to PNG when something asks for PNG; otherwise keep the JPEG.

JPEG to PNG: frequently asked questions

Does converting JPG to PNG make the background transparent?

No. A JPEG has no transparent areas, so the PNG keeps the same solid background. Remove the background in an editing tool first.

Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?

No. The PNG shows the same image, and detail the JPEG lost stays lost.

Why is my PNG bigger than the JPEG?

JPEG stores images more efficiently, so the same image needs more bytes as PNG. Measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, it usually comes out about 1.8 times the size.

Can I convert PNG back to JPEG?

Yes. Use the swap button, or go to PNG to JPG. Detail removed by compression doesn't come back.

Are JPG and JPEG the same?

Yes. They are the same format; only the file extension differs. Old Windows only allowed three letters for the file extension, so JPEG became .jpg. Renaming one to the other changes nothing about the file.

What does JPEG stand for?

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), the committee that created the format. JPG is the same name cut to three letters.

Is JPEG lossy?

Yes, always, even at the highest quality setting. Saving a JPEG again can lose a little more detail, so keep your original.

JPG or PNG: which should I use?

JPG for photos: much smaller, and it opens everywhere. PNG for logos, screenshots and cut-outs: it keeps every pixel and supports transparency. A photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than it needs to be, while flat graphics or art may be much smaller and higher quality with PNG. Photos saved as PNG usually shrink by about 90% when converted to JPG, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Screenshots and text can get fuzzy edges as JPG, so keep those as PNG.

What does PNG stand for?

Portable Network Graphics, officially pronounced "ping". It was created in 1995 as a free replacement for GIF, whose (LZW) compression was patented at the time, and became a W3C Recommendation on 1 October 1996. It is a lossless image format with full transparency and millions of colours, where GIF is limited to 256. That makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and graphics with text, and every browser, phone and computer opens it.

Is PNG lossless?

Yes. A PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is also why the files are large. Our compressor applies lossy compression by reducing the colours, so its result looks the same rather than being pixel-identical.

How do I convert JPEG to PNG?

Add your JPEGs above, choose PNG and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.

What is a JPG file?

A JPG file is a photo saved in the JPEG format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It keeps photos small by dropping detail the eye barely notices, which is why it is lossy, and it has no transparency. Cameras, phones, websites and email all use it, and every browser, app and email client opens it.

Is it free?

Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.

Are my images private?

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.

What happens to the metadata?

We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
