JPG to PNG Converter
Fixpio’s jpg to png converter makes a PNG copy of a picture that is currently saved as a JPG — useful when your next step is editing, placing the image into a design, or handing it to a tool that asks for PNG. Drop the file in, convert it, and download the result. It works the same for JPEG files, and because the conversion runs inside your browser, the picture itself never travels to a server.

Works with JPG and JPEG files. PNG output is always lossless, so there is no quality setting to choose.
When a PNG copy is worth having
Three everyday jobs where switching format genuinely helps.
A safer file to edit
Crop it, annotate it, save it ten times — a PNG working copy looks the same after the tenth save as it did after the first, which a JPG copy cannot promise.
Screenshots that stay readable
Text captured from a screen often picks up fuzzy halos as a JPG. As a PNG, menus, code and captions keep the sharp outline you captured.
The format projects ask for
Icon sets, app assets, slide decks and upload forms frequently specify PNG by name. Converting once means the file is accepted without a second trip to an editor.
About this converter
Most people convert jpg to png at a turning point in a picture’s life: a screenshot is about to be marked up for a report, a product photo is heading into a design, or a graphic saved from the web needs to be edited without getting softer each time it is saved. This jpg to png converter handles that moment online, in the page in front of you, so there is no program to track down first.
Two expectations are worth setting before you start. The PNG will almost always weigh more than the JPG it came from, because it stores the picture without discarding anything — that extra size is the price of a file you can keep re-saving safely. And the copy will look like your JPG does today, no better: detail the original compression removed stays removed. What you gain is a jpg to png online result that goes no further downhill, in a format editors and design tools are happy to open on any phone, tablet or computer.
Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about quality, transparency and file size.
How do I convert a JPG to PNG on this page?
Drag your JPG into the upload box, or tap the button and choose the file, then press Convert to PNG. Your browser builds the PNG and offers it as a download. Changing a jpg to png this way takes three short steps, and your original JPG file is left exactly as it was.
Will converting to PNG improve the quality of my JPG?
No — and any tool implying otherwise is misleading you. The PNG faithfully stores the picture your JPG contains right now, so nothing more is lost from this point on. Blurriness or blocky patches that JPG compression created earlier were thrown away permanently and cannot be recreated by any converter.
Will my PNG come out with a transparent background?
Not from conversion alone. A JPG has no transparent pixels to carry across, so a white or coloured background in the original stays in the PNG. Converting is still the right first move, because once the image is a PNG you can remove that background in an editor and save the result with real transparency.
Are my images uploaded anywhere, and is it free?
Your images are not uploaded at all. The conversion happens in your own browser, on your own machine, so a private photo or an unreleased design never leaves your hands. Using the converter costs nothing, and there is no sign-up, account or watermark involved.
Why is the PNG file so much bigger than the JPG?
JPG achieves its small size by permanently discarding fine detail, especially in photographs with millions of subtly different colours. PNG discards nothing, so the same picture needs considerably more data. If the larger file is a problem for emailing or uploading, keep the JPG for sharing and treat the PNG as your editing copy.
Is there a difference between JPG and JPEG files here?
None that matters for this tool. JPG and JPEG are two names — and two file endings — for the same format, a leftover of older systems that only allowed three-letter extensions. Files ending in either .jpg or .jpeg convert in exactly the same way.
