Drop a JPG here — get a lossless PNG ready for any editor

How to convert a JPG to PNG and keep every pixel of the original

This JPEG to PNG converter turns a JPG photo or graphic into a lossless PNG that you can edit, layer or send to print. Use it whenever an editor, print shop or upload form asks you to change JPEG to PNG. Upload the file, select Convert to PNG and download the result. The picture keeps its pixel size and comes out upright, and no new lossy compression is added. It works online in a phone or desktop browser, and a single conversion is free and needs no account.

How to turn a JPEG into a PNG, step by step

Turning a JPG into a PNG takes one conversion. To change JPG to PNG online, drop your file on the upload area or choose it from your device, and the original appears in the preview. PNG is already selected as the output, so the only decision left is whether you want one of the other formats in the Output format list instead. The result screen shows the finished PNG before you save it, and the saved file keeps your original name with a Pixoate_ prefix and a .png ending.

  1. Upload one JPG or JPEG file.
  2. Leave Output format on PNG.
  3. Select Convert to PNG and wait for the preview.
  4. Select See result, then Download.

What changes when you turn a JPEG into PNG

The pixels are copied across as they are, so the PNG looks the same as your JPG and keeps its width and height. Converting cannot bring back detail that JPEG compression already discarded, and it cannot add a see-through background. What you gain is stability: you can open, crop and save the PNG again and again without another round of lossy compression. The cost is size, because a PNG of a photo is noticeably larger than the JPG it came from.

Mass convert JPG to PNG with Batch

Choose Batch above the upload area to queue several JPG files and convert them with the same setting. Batch mode is a Premium feature, and a finished batch downloads as one ZIP of PNG files. Without Premium you convert one file at a time, and a single conversion needs no account. If the folder also holds HEIC, WebP or other pictures, use the all-format image converter so every file is handled in one pass; it can change a picture to PNG for HEIC, WebP or BMP files too.

Make a JPG transparent instead of just changing its format

A JPG has no transparent pixels, so the PNG you get here keeps the same solid background. To make the background see-through, cut the subject out as a transparent PNG, which removes the background and exports a PNG with transparent areas. Check the edges around hair and fine detail before you use it, because an automatic cutout can leave a rough fringe.

Pick another format when PNG is not the right fit

The Output format list also offers WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO, PDF and JPG. TIFF is a lossless choice that print shops and archives often ask for. If the real goal is a lighter file for a website, convert the JPG to WebP, and if a PNG came out too heavy to email, shrink it with the image compressor.

Before you convert

  • Keep the original JPG. The PNG is a larger copy, not a replacement.
  • Camera details and location data stored in the JPG are not copied into the PNG.
  • This page opens JPG and JPEG files only. For iPhone photos, which are usually HEIC, convert the HEIC photo to PNG instead.

The PNG keeps the photo's original background, since a JPG has no transparency to carry over; to cut the subject out on a see-through background, use the transparent PNG maker. If the original is an iPhone HEIC, convert it straight to lossless PNG to skip a round of JPG compression, and for the reverse trip or a lighter web file, turn a PNG back into JPG or make a WebP from the JPG.

Frequently Asked Questions

How JPG to PNG helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start.

For Developers

Layered Editing Without Recompression Loss

Convert a JPG source to PNG before opening it in Photoshop, GIMP or Affinity so every re-save during editing stays pixel-exact instead of re-introducing JPEG artifacts each time the file is saved.

Publishing

Print-Ready Artwork for Print Shops

Many print and direct-to-garment services reject compressed JPGs for logos and text-heavy artwork — converting to PNG keeps solid colors and thin lines free of JPEG banding before you upload to the print vendor.

For Business

Batch-Convert a Whole Shoot for Client Delivery

Switch to Batch mode to convert a full folder of delivered JPGs to lossless PNG in one pass and download a single ZIP, instead of converting photographer or agency deliverables one file at a time.

For Creators

Text & Caption Overlays That Stay Crisp

Convert a JPG to PNG before adding bold captions, watermarks or callout text in a meme generator, social template or slide deck, since PNG has no compression to blur or halo sharp text edges the way re-saving a JPG does on every edit.
