How to convert JPG to PNG
Choose your photos
Drag your JPG or JPEG files into the box above or tap “Choose images”. Lots of files at once are no problem.
Pick a file size
“Original” keeps every pixel. “Smaller” brings the long side down to 2,400 pixels. That's enough for screens, slides and A4 prints, and makes the PNGs much lighter.
Convert
Tap “Convert to PNG”. Each photo takes a moment, large batches a little longer.
Save
A single image downloads straight as a PNG. With several, choose “ZIP” or “Separately”. The name stays: holiday.jpg becomes holiday.png.
When do you need this?
Editing without further loss
Every save as JPG costs a bit of quality. If you plan to crop, annotate or retouch a photo several times, work on a PNG copy instead.
A program or form wants PNG
Some upload forms, print templates, game mods and graphics programs only accept PNG. Convert the image and upload the PNG file.
Graphics for slides and design
PNG is standard in slide decks, Canva and Figma. If you want to cut out the background later, you need a format with transparency anyway.
Working on screenshots and scans
Received text or tables as a JPG and want to add highlights? As a PNG, your additions stay crisp.
JPG vs. PNG: when is converting worth it?
JPG is the standard format for photos. It saves space by dropping fine detail when saving. If a JPG is edited and saved several times, those losses add up.
PNG is lossless and supports transparency. A converted photo doesn’t look better, but from now on it loses nothing more. The file is much larger, though. If you’d rather make files smaller, go the other way with PNG to JPG.
| Feature | JPG | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| File size for photos | Small | Large, often several times bigger |
| Saving again | Gets a little worse each time | No further loss |
| Transparency | No | Yes, after cutting out |
| Typical use | Sharing photos, email, uploads | Editing, graphics, design |
Good to know
- No transparent background: Converting doesn’t remove a background. A JPG has no see-through areas, so the PNG has none either. You can cut it out afterwards in an image editor.
- Quality doesn't improve: PNG only prevents further loss. Blur or blocky artefacts already in the JPG remain visible in the PNG.
- PNG gets much bigger: A photo as PNG is usually several times the size of the JPG; 2 MB can easily become 8 to 12 MB. That’s normal. If you need smaller files, choose “Smaller”.
- Phone photos stay upright: Many phones save photos rotated and only note which way is up. The tool follows that note, so the PNG stands upright. Location and capture date are removed in the process.
Tip: iPhone photos in HEIC format? Convert them directly with HEIC to PNG. For several photos as one document, use JPG to PDF. Need a logo as a vector file? PNG to SVG traces it, and it accepts JPG too.
Good to know: With “Original” the resolution stays the same. Only on iPhone and iPad are photos above 16 megapixels brought down to 16 megapixels, because Safari can’t process larger images there.
Troubleshooting
The PNG is huge. Did I do something wrong?
No. PNG stores every pixel without dropping detail. For photos the result is therefore several times larger than the JPG. Choose “Smaller” if the file needs to be lighter.
I can still see blocks and blur in the PNG.
Those flaws are already in the JPG. Converting can’t bring back lost detail. If possible, use a better source, such as the original from your phone rather than a forwarded copy.
My photo is rotated differently in the PNG.
The tool turns photos upright according to the camera’s orientation note, just as they appear in your gallery. Some older programs ignore that note and showed the JPG sideways.
Why is my file rejected?
The tool accepts image files your browser can open, such as JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF. If a file is damaged, the tool reports it as unreadable and still converts the others.
Converting many photos takes a while.
Saving lossless PNGs takes computing power. The spinner keeps turning until everything is done. Keep the tab open, and on a phone split very large batches into several rounds.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, on your own device. The file itself is never sent to a server, never stored and never seen by us. Close the tab and it is gone from memory.
You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools (F12), switch to the “Network” tab and start the conversion. Your file does not show up as an upload. What you may see are page resources and, if you agreed to them, ads or statistics.
FAQ
Is converting JPG to PNG on Filemanta free?
Yes, completely. There's no daily limit, no cap on the number of files, no watermark and no subscription. You don't need an account either.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are converted in your browser on your own device and never sent to a server. That matters for private pictures and photographed documents.
Does PNG make my photo better?
No. PNG is lossless, but it can't restore what the JPG already lost. The benefit: from now on the image loses no quality when you edit and save it again.
Will my image get a transparent background?
No. Converting changes the format, not the content. Remove the background afterwards in an image editor; the PNG can then store it as transparent.
Can I convert several JPGs to PNG at once?
Yes. Select as many photos as you like. You get them together as a ZIP or each one separately as a PNG.
Does it work with JPEG files too?
Yes. JPEG and JPG are the same format, only the extension is spelled differently. The tool accepts both.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, on iPhone and Android in all current browsers. Pick photos from your gallery or Files, convert, save. No app needed.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the JPG?
JPG throws away detail you can barely see when saving, PNG keeps everything. As a result, a photo as PNG is usually several times larger, often four to six times. “Smaller” saves a lot of space.
