Add Transparency Support by Switching to PNG
JPEG doesn't support transparent backgrounds — if you need to overlay a product photo on a banner, layer a headshot onto a presentation, or use an image in a web design with no visible background, converting to PNG gives you the alpha channel you need.
Why Convert JPG to PNG?
Enable transparent backgrounds for product images, logos, or profile photos used on websites
Preserve sharp edges on screenshots, diagrams, and text-heavy images without JPEG compression blur
Prepare images for layered editing in Photoshop, Figma, or Canva where transparency is required
Avoid the progressive quality loss that happens each time a JPEG is re-saved after editing

How to Convert JPG to PNG
Upload your JPEG image
Select one or more .jpg files. Batch uploads of up to 50 images are supported for bulk conversions.
Automatic lossless conversion
Each pixel is transferred without any quality degradation. The resulting PNG uses lossless compression, so what you see is exactly what you get.
Download your PNG files
Grab individual PNGs or a ZIP archive for batch conversions. The images are ready for editing, layering, or uploading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting to PNG improve the image quality?
expand_more
Converting doesn't add detail lost during JPEG compression, but it prevents further degradation. Every future save will be lossless.
Why is the PNG file larger than the original JPEG?
expand_more
PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel but results in larger files. This is the trade-off for no quality loss and transparency support.
Can I make the background transparent after converting?
expand_more
The conversion itself keeps the existing background. Use our background removal tool afterward to replace solid backgrounds with transparency.
Is there a resolution limit?
expand_more
We handle images up to 100 megapixels (e.g., 10,000 x 10,000 pixels). Larger images may be downscaled to fit memory constraints.
Does the conversion preserve EXIF metadata?
expand_more
By default, EXIF data like camera model, GPS coordinates, and capture timestamps is stripped during conversion to JPG-to-PNG. You can enable metadata preservation in advanced settings if you need the information retained for photography portfolios or archival purposes.
Pro Tips for JPG to PNG Conversion
If you only need transparency, consider using our background remover first, then export as PNG — this combines both steps
For screenshots and UI mockups, PNG is almost always better than JPEG because it preserves text sharpness perfectly
If file size matters, run the PNG through our optimizer after conversion — it can reduce size by 40% without quality loss
Use PNG for images with sharp lines, text, or flat colors; stick with JPEG for photographs where file size is a priority
