About JPG to PNG Converter
Our free JPG to PNG Converter transforms JPEG images into PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency and maintains perfect image quality without compression artifacts. It's ideal for graphics, logos, images with text, and photos that require editing.
Why Convert JPG to PNG? PNG format offers lossless compression, meaning no image quality is lost when saving. PNG also supports transparency (alpha channel), which JPG does not. This makes PNG perfect for logos, icons, graphics with transparent backgrounds, and images that will be edited multiple times. PNG is also preferred for images with sharp edges and text.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between JPG and PNG?
JPG uses lossy compression, which reduces file size but loses some image quality. PNG uses lossless compression, maintaining perfect quality but resulting in larger file sizes. PNG also supports transparency, while JPG does not. JPG is better for photographs, while PNG excels with graphics, logos, and images with text.
When should I use PNG instead of JPG?
Use PNG when you need transparency, plan to edit the image multiple times, working with logos or graphics with sharp edges, or need perfect image quality. PNG is also better for images containing text, line art, or simple graphics with limited colors. Use JPG for photographs and complex images with many colors.
Will converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
Converting from JPG to PNG won't restore quality already lost during JPG compression. However, PNG will preserve the current quality without further degradation. For best results, always work with PNG or other lossless formats during editing, and only convert to JPG as the final step for web use.
Why are PNG files larger than JPG files?
PNG uses lossless compression that preserves every pixel exactly as it appears, while JPG uses lossy compression that discards some image data to reduce file size. For the same image, PNG files are typically 3-10 times larger than JPG files. The tradeoff is perfect quality versus smaller file size.
Does PNG support transparency?
Yes, PNG supports full transparency including alpha channels for variable transparency levels. This is one of PNG's main advantages over JPG. When converting from JPG to PNG, the result will be opaque unless you manually add transparency using image editing software after conversion.
