About JPG to PNG
Some tools and websites ask specifically for PNG files, and designers often prefer PNG as a working copy because it won't lose more detail each time it's saved. This converter turns JPG or JPEG images into PNG directly. Photos are rotated the right way up using their orientation data before saving, so pictures taken sideways on a phone come out correctly. You can resize and rename in the same step, convert a batch at once, and download everything in a single ZIP.
How to Use It

Convert and download
Press Convert. Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.
Why convert JPG to PNG?
JPG uses lossy compression: each time a JPG is edited and saved again, a little more detail is thrown away, and after a few rounds edges get blocky and colours band. Converting to PNG stops that. PNG is lossless, so you can open, edit and save it as many times as you like and it will never get worse than it is now.
Other reasons are practical. Some design tools, game engines, print templates and upload forms ask specifically for PNG. And if you want to remove the background from a photo, logo or signature, you need a format that supports transparency, which JPG doesn't.
What PNG can and can't do
Converting doesn't restore detail the JPG already lost. If the JPG is blurry or full of compression artefacts, the PNG will look identical, just in a different container. The benefit is that it won't degrade further from here on.
The PNG will also be larger, often three to five times the size of the JPG, because it stores every pixel exactly. That's normal. If you only need the image to open somewhere and you don't plan to edit it, keeping the JPG is fine.
A useful rule: keep JPG for photos you only view and share, and switch to PNG for images you are actively editing, layering or turning into graphics. Once you're done editing, you can always export a final JPG copy to share.
Adding a transparent background
A converted PNG starts with the same solid background the JPG had; transparency isn't added automatically. Open the PNG in an editor and erase or select away the background, then save it as PNG and the transparent areas are kept. This is the usual workflow for turning a photo of a signature or logo into a transparent image for documents and designs.
Batch conversion and sizes
Add as many JPGs as you need and download them as a ZIP. You can keep the original dimensions or set a maximum width or height to make the PNGs smaller. Photos are rotated according to their camera orientation, so portrait shots stay upright, and camera metadata isn't copied over.

Using the PNG on your phone
On iPhone and Android, tap the box to pick photos from your gallery or Files, convert them and save the PNGs. They work in any editing app that prefers PNG, and in apps that need a lossless image for stickers, overlays or templates.
Questions
Does converting to PNG improve quality?
No. Detail lost when the JPG was first saved can't be restored. PNG just prevents any further loss from this point on.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. A JPG has no transparency information, so the PNG will be fully opaque. Removing a background requires a separate editing tool.
Why is the PNG larger than the JPG?
Lossless compression keeps every pixel, and photos contain a lot of fine variation that PNG can't compress as tightly as JPG. Larger files are normal.
Is EXIF data kept?
No. Camera details and GPS location are removed from the PNG. The photo's orientation is applied to the pixels first, so it still displays the right way up.
