JPG to PNG converter

JPG, PNG or WebP: which to use

• JPG: best for photos. Small files, but no transparency, and quality drops a little each time you save. Most forms and websites accept it.
• PNG: best for screenshots, logos, text and anything with sharp edges or a transparent background. No quality loss, but photos become much bigger files.
• WebP: a newer format that is usually smaller than both at similar quality, and supports transparency. Most modern browsers and websites support it, but some older apps and forms don't.

Will converting improve quality?

No. Converting a JPG to PNG keeps the photo exactly as it is, including any blur or compression marks; it just stores it differently, usually in a bigger file. Use PNG when you need transparency or will edit the image again, not to make a photo sharper.

Transparent backgrounds

JPG can't store transparency, so transparent parts become the background colour you choose (white by default). PNG and WebP keep transparency.

Need an exact size in KB for a form?

Use the photo resizer for forms, which hits exact pixel and KB limits for exam and job applications.
