Convert JPG to PNG
What is JPG?
JPEG Image
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression format for digital images. It uses discrete cosine transform (DCT) to compress image data, achieving significant file size reduction while maintaining acceptable visual quality. The compression level is adjustable, allowing balance between file size and quality.
- Lossy compression (reduces file size)
- Adjustable quality levels
- No transparency support
- Best for photographs and complex images
- Universal browser and device support
What is PNG?
Portable Network Graphics
PNG is a lossless compression format designed as an improved replacement for GIF. It uses DEFLATE compression algorithm and supports transparency through alpha channels. PNG preserves image quality perfectly but results in larger file sizes compared to JPEG for photographs.
- Lossless compression (perfect quality)
- Supports transparency (alpha channel)
- Better for graphics and text
- Larger file sizes than JPEG
- No patent restrictions

Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. JPG uses lossy compression that permanently removes data. Converting to PNG creates a larger file but cannot restore the lost information. However, PNG prevents further quality loss if you edit the image multiple times.
When should I use PNG instead of JPG?
Use PNG for: logos, graphics, screenshots, images with text, images you'll edit multiple times, or images needing transparency. Use JPG for: photos, images for web/social media, or when file size matters.
Can I add transparency to a JPG by converting to PNG?
No. Conversion doesn't create transparency - it just changes the format. To add transparency, you need an image editor (like Photoshop, GIMP, or Photopea) to manually remove the background first.
