Convert JPG to PNG

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

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

JPG stores images more efficiently than PNG, so the same image takes more space. Measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, it usually comes out about 1.8 times the size. How much depends on the image: photos, flat graphics and screenshots each grow differently.

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

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, so converting to JPEG is the same as converting to JPG, and a .jpeg file converts and compresses like a .jpg.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A JPG file is a photo saved in the JPEG format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPG files are always lossy: they keep photos small by dropping detail the eye barely notices. They have no transparency. Cameras, phones, websites and email all use it, and every browser, app and email client opens it.

Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Once you log in, Web Pro converts 3 images per session, up to 75 MB each, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like, up to 150 MB each. On every plan, an image can have up to 256 megapixels.

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete them automatically after 24 hours.

Yes. To keep files small we remove all metadata: EXIF data such as camera details and GPS location, and XMP data such as copyright and editing history. Colour profiles are converted to sRGB, the standard for screens and the web. The developer API can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
