Why people convert JPG to PNG

- A required format. Some tools, plugins and platforms ask for PNG.
- Preparing for transparency. PNG can carry a transparent background once you remove one in an editor. See JPG to PNG with a transparent background.
- Screenshots and graphics that were saved as JPG and you want to keep stable.
What to expect
| Aspect | Result |

| Further saves | No additional loss |
The detailed reasons are in does JPG to PNG improve quality.
If the PNG is too big
Shrink dimensions with Resize Image, or switch to a lighter format: PNG to WebP creates a lossless or lossy WebP that is smaller than the PNG. Or simply keep the JPG for sharing.
Converting a whole folder
Select all the JPG files and drop them in together. They are converted one after another and returned as a ZIP, with the same file names and a .png extension. Only JPEG files are accepted by this tool; other formats are ignored.
Checking the result
- Open the PNG and confirm that it looks the same as the JPG.
- Compare file sizes. Expect the PNG to be several times larger.
- Open it in your editor and confirm that it saves without further changes.
- Keep the JPG if you only need a copy for sharing.
When another format is a better fit
If you want the lossless benefits with a smaller file, convert the PNG to WebP afterwards. If the destination only needs a simple picture, the JPG you already have is usually the best choice. Use PNG when an editor, plugin or platform specifically asks for it.
