JPG vs PNG: what is the difference?

JPG (also written JPEG) is the format most cameras and phones use. It squeezes photos into small files by throwing away some detail you are unlikely to notice. That makes it great for photographs and web pages, but every time you save a JPG again, a little more quality is lost.

PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is, and it supports transparent backgrounds. That is why it is the usual choice for logos, icons, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges or text. The trade-off is file size: a PNG made from a photo is often much larger than the original JPG.

When converting to PNG makes sense

  • You plan to edit the image several times and do not want it to lose quality with each save.
  • A website, app, or design tool asks for a PNG file.
  • You want to place the image on a transparent background later in an editor.

What to expect

Converting a JPG to PNG will not bring back detail that the JPG already lost, and it will not remove the background for you. What it does is stop any further quality loss and give you a file in the format you need. If file size matters more than anything else, keep the JPG, or try our JPG to WebP converter for a smaller result.

Frequently asked questions

Is this JPG to PNG converter free?

Yes. There is no cost, no signup, and no limit on how many images you convert.

Will my images be stored on your server?

No. The conversion runs in your own browser, so your image is not uploaded to my server and I never see it.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Right now the tool converts one image at a time. Upload the next image after you have downloaded the first one.

Will the PNG have better quality than my JPG?

It will look the same, but not better. PNG does not add back detail that was already lost when the JPG was saved. It simply stops further loss and keeps the image exactly as it is.

Why is my PNG file bigger than the JPG?

PNG stores images without discarding detail, so photos usually end up larger than the same photo saved as a JPG. This is normal.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, tablets, and computers.
