Convert JPG to PNG Online - Free & Instant
Converting JPG to PNG is useful when you need a lossless copy for further editing - each re-save of a JPG degrades quality, while PNG does not. PNG also supports transparency, making it the right choice for logos, icons, and UI graphics. For web delivery, prefer WebP over PNG. Browser-based processing with no upload.

Why convert JPG to PNG?
Lossless output for editing and transparency
Why Convert JPG to PNG?
JPEG uses lossy compression — it discards data to reduce file size. This makes JPEG unsuitable for images that require transparency, pixel-perfect accuracy, or repeated editing without quality loss.
Convert JPG to PNG when: • Transparency is required — JPEG does not support transparent backgrounds; PNG enables full alpha channel transparency for logos, UI elements, and overlays • The image will be edited further — every JPEG save re-compresses and degrades the image; PNG is lossless, so re-saving does not accumulate quality loss • Text, diagrams, or sharp edges need preservation — JPEG compression creates artefacts around sharp boundaries; PNG preserves these cleanly • The image is a screenshot or UI element — these are better stored as PNG where precision matters more than file size
File Size Note
Converting JPG to PNG will produce a larger file than the source JPEG. PNG is a lossless format and does not apply lossy compression. The size increase is expected and correct — use PNG when quality and editability matter more than file size.
Browser Support
PNG has universal browser support across all devices, operating systems, and image viewing software. It is the correct choice whenever maximum compatibility across all environments is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting JPG to PNG improve image quality?
No. JPEG compression is irreversible — converting to PNG creates a lossless copy of the already-compressed JPEG. The PNG will not look better than the source JPEG, but it will not get any worse. All future edits made to the PNG will be lossless.
Why is the PNG file larger than the JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, preserving every pixel exactly. This produces larger files than lossy JPEG compression. This is normal and expected. Use PNG when quality and editability are the priority.
Is my JPG file safe to convert here?
Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to any server, not stored, and not accessible to MeloTools or any third party.
Can I convert multiple JPGs to PNG at once?
Yes. Drop multiple JPG files into the converter simultaneously. The free plan processes up to 10 images per batch. Premium supports up to 50 images per batch.
What is the maximum file size?
Free plan: 5MB per image. Premium: 75MB per image.
