About this tool
Some forms, design tools and apps insist on PNG files, and PNG is a good working format when you plan to edit an image several times, because saving a PNG again never adds new compression damage. This converter turns your JPG or JPEG into a PNG of the same size.
Two things are worth knowing. A PNG cannot recover detail the JPG compression already removed, so the picture looks the same rather than better, and a PNG of a photo is usually much larger than the JPG. Converting also does not make the background transparent: the PNG keeps the JPG's solid background. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
