Why convert JPG to PNG?
JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression to make small files, which is why it is the default for photographs across the web. It does not support transparency. PNG is a lossless format that keeps every pixel intact and supports a full alpha (transparency) channel. Files are larger than JPG but quality never degrades.
- PNG supports transparency, so you can later cut out backgrounds — something JPG cannot store.
- Move to a lossless PNG file so no further quality is lost in editing — though detail already lost in the original JPG cannot be restored.
- Get a universally supported, lossless PNG that every browser, editor and operating system can open.

Frequently asked questions
Is the JPG to PNG converter free?
Yes. ConvertPix is completely free with no limits on the number of conversions, no watermarks, and no account required.
Are my JPG images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your web browser using your own device. Your images are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone.
Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
Converting to PNG stops any further quality loss, but it cannot recover detail already removed by the original JPG compression. The result matches your source as closely as possible.
Does PNG support transparency?
Yes, PNG supports a transparency (alpha) channel, so transparent areas are preserved.
What is the largest file I can convert?
You can convert JPG images up to 5 MB. Because processing is done on your device, very large images depend on your device's available memory.
