How to convert JPEG to PNG
- Add your .JPEG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PNG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PNG file.
What to expect
- Converting does not restore detail that JPEG compression already discarded - the PNG is a lossless copy of whatever the JPEG contained.
- PNG files are typically 3-5x larger than equivalent JPEGs for photographs.
- Transparency is not added automatically; to get a transparent background you still need to remove it manually in an editor.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPEG to PNG improve quality?
No - the detail JPEG compression already discarded is gone. PNG prevents any further loss from this point.
Will the PNG look different from the JPEG?
Not visibly on screen. Pixel values are preserved exactly as they were in the JPEG.
Can I convert multiple JPEGs to PNG at once?
Yes - IrfanView's batch conversion and command-line tools like ImageMagick handle folders of files in one pass.
Is it safe to delete the original JPEG after converting?
Only once you have confirmed the PNG looks correct; keep in mind the PNG will be noticeably larger on disk.
