JPG to PNG

Need a JPG photo as a PNG because someone asked for it or because you'll keep editing it? Convert JPG to PNG right in your browser. One thing up front: converting alone doesn't remove the background, but you'll find how to do that below.

Files never leave your device

Converting JPG to PNG usually comes up for one of two reasons. Either someone explicitly wants a PNG, or they want a photo with a transparent background, like a product for an online store or a logo for slides. The first you can do here in seconds. For the second, remove the background on your iPhone or in the Windows Photos app first, then save as PNG. Below you'll find how JPG and PNG compare and the exact steps.

How to convert JPG to PNG

  1. 1

    Add your JPG images

    Drag .jpg or .jpeg files onto the page or choose them with the button, on a phone straight from your photo library.

  2. 2

    Check the list

    Each file shows its size. Remove any image you don't want to convert by clicking its cross.

  3. 3

    Start the conversion

    PNG is lossless, so there's nothing to set. Click Convert JPG to PNG.

  4. 4

    Download the PNG files

    One image downloads directly, several in one ZIP. The PNG will be bigger than the original JPG.

Converting won't remove the background

PNG can have a transparent background, but converting doesn't create one. A photo with a white background still has a white background as a PNG. You can remove the background on an iPhone or in the Windows Photos app, as described below.

JPG or PNG: which one to choose

JPG is the format for photos. It keeps them in small files that every device opens, which is why it suits email, websites, listings and forms. Each new save throws away a little detail, though, so a photo slowly degrades with repeated edits.

PNG stores the image without loss and supports transparency. It suits screenshots, logos, diagrams, text and images you'll edit several times. For photos, though, it's much bigger.

Converting JPG to PNG makes sense when someone asks for it, when you'll keep editing the photo or when you plan to add transparent parts later. For everyday photo sharing, stay with JPG.

JPG to PNG with a transparent background

If you want a photo without its background, such as a product or a person, remove the background before converting. On an iPhone, touch and hold the subject in Photos until an outline appears around it, then tap Copy or Share. Apple calls this lifting a subject from the background.

On Windows, open the photo in the Photos app, click Edit image (Ctrl + E) and use the Background panel to remove, blur or replace the background. The controls may change with the new version of Photos that Microsoft introduced in October 2026.

Privacy

Images are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Some tools remember your settings on this device, and the files you download stay on it.

FAQ

Does converting JPG to PNG make the background transparent?
No. JPG has no transparency, so there are no transparent areas for the conversion to keep, and converting doesn't create any. The PNG has the same background as the photo. To remove it, use your iPhone or the Windows Photos app first, then save the PNG.

Does converting improve photo quality?
No. PNG saves the photo as the browser read it from the JPG, including any compression artifacts already in it, and photos over 16 MP are scaled down on loading. It won't get sharper. The only advantage of PNG is that later saves add no new artifacts.

Why is the PNG bigger than the JPG?
JPG saves space by leaving out tiny details when it saves. PNG stores every pixel without loss, so a photo full of colors needs far more space. A bigger file doesn't mean better quality, just a different way of storing the same image.

How do I remove the background from a photo on iPhone?
Open the photo in Photos, touch and hold the person or object until an outline appears around it, then tap Copy or Share. You can then paste the subject into a message, a document or another app without its background.

How do I convert JPG to PNG on my phone?
Open this page in your phone's browser, choose photos from your library and tap Convert JPG to PNG. The PNG downloads to your phone, and on an iPhone you'll find it in the Files app. Several images come in one ZIP.

Can I convert several JPG files at once?
Yes. Select all the JPG files at once and each one is saved as a separate PNG. You download them in one ZIP, which for photos will be much bigger than the original files.

Does JPG to PNG cost anything, and can anyone see my photos?
It costs nothing and nobody sees them. The conversion runs in your browser tab, photos aren't uploaded to a server and the result has no watermark. You don't need to sign up or install anything.
