What happens when you convert JPEG to PNG
- JPEG is another name for JPG; files ending in .jpeg work here.
- PNG is lossless, so nothing more is lost in the conversion. Detail already removed by JPEG compression doesn't come back, and the file is usually larger.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many JPEG files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting JPEG to PNG reduce quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so the image is saved exactly as it is. Detail already lost in JPEG can't be restored.
Why is my PNG file bigger than the JPEG?
JPEG uses stronger compression than PNG. The picture stays the same, but PNG needs more bytes to store it.
