Free JPG to PNG converter online
Need a PNG instead of a JPG? This free converter turns JPG files into PNG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small, but it cannot store transparency and every re-save loses a little quality. JPG files usually carry EXIF metadata such as the camera model, the date and often the GPS location where the photo was taken.
PNG is a lossless format: it never throws image data away, so text and sharp edges stay crisp and it supports full transparency. The trade-off is file size: a photo saved as PNG is often 5 to 10 times bigger than the same photo as JPG. PNG files can hold hidden text chunks with software names, authors and dates.
