Why convert JPG to PNG?

PNG supports lossless quality and transparency, which JPG does not. Converting to PNG is ideal before editing, adding transparency, or when you need to prevent further quality loss from repeated saves.

Will converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?

No. The conversion preserves exactly what is in the JPG. Any compression artifacts from the original JPEG encoding will remain. However, the PNG will not lose any additional quality on subsequent saves.

Why is the PNG file larger than the original JPG?

PNG uses lossless compression, which produces larger files than JPG's lossy compression. This is the trade-off for preserving every pixel without any quality loss.

Can I add a transparent background after converting?

The conversion itself does not add transparency, but once your image is in PNG format, you can use our Remove Background tool to make the background transparent.

Is batch conversion supported?

Yes, you can convert up to 20 JPG files to PNG simultaneously. All files are processed locally in your browser.

About JPG to PNG

Converting JPG to PNG is essential when you need lossless image quality or transparency support that the JPEG format cannot provide. PicTools' JPG to PNG converter processes your images instantly in the browser with zero uploads, giving you a pixel-perfect PNG file from any JPEG source.

While JPG is the dominant format for photographs due to its efficient compression, there are many situations where PNG is the better choice. Designers frequently need to convert JPG images to PNG before editing them in tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Figma, because repeated saving in JPG format introduces cumulative compression artifacts — a phenomenon known as generation loss. By converting to PNG first, every subsequent edit and save preserves the full quality of the image.
