How do I convert a JPG to PNG?

Drop the JPG on the box above. It is converted at once; click Download to save the PNG. Drop several files to convert them together.

Does converting JPG to PNG make the background transparent?

No. A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG keeps the same background. To remove it, use the free background remover in CutLift and save a transparent PNG.

Will the quality get better?

The PNG looks exactly like the JPG; it cannot bring back detail the JPG already lost. It does stop further quality loss when you edit and save again.

When to convert JPG to PNG

Convert JPG to PNG when a file must stay lossless, or when you plan to edit it again and again. JPG is a lossy format. Each time it is saved, some detail is thrown away. PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so repeated saves do not add new compression. Many people also choose PNG for screenshots, diagrams and images with sharp text, because the edges stay clean.

The conversion does not restore lost detail. A PNG made from a JPG looks exactly like the JPG it came from. It only stops further quality loss from this point on. For the best master copy, start from the original camera file or the highest quality export you have.

How to convert a JPG to PNG online

Drop your JPG or JPEG files on the converter at the top of this page, choose them with the file picker, or paste an image with Ctrl or ⌘ + V. Each file converts at once in your browser. You can drop up to 100 images together, then download each PNG or save them all as one ZIP.

The new file is drawn fresh, so camera details and GPS location in the original are not copied. The conversion happens on your own device, and nothing is uploaded. The tool is free, with no watermark and no limit on how many images you convert; downloading only needs a free account.

What a JPG to PNG conversion does not do

A JPG has no transparency. After you convert a JPG to PNG, the background stays the same colour. The file is still a rectangle. To remove a background, open the image in CutLift, use the background remover, and save a transparent PNG.

PNG files are often larger than JPG files for photographs, because PNG keeps all the detail. Expect the file to grow. If size matters more, convert it back to JPG and choose a lower quality, or use the compress image tool.
