How do I convert a JPG to PNG?

Drop the JPG into PixKit on this page — PNG is pre-selected as the export format and a toast tells you it's ready. Click Export and the PNG downloads instantly. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so private photos stay on your machine instead of passing through someone's server.

A private image toolkit, not just a watermark remover

Clean the Gemini sparkle, then finish the job — crop, resize, convert and adjust without uploading a single pixel.

Lossless watermark removal

Reverse-alpha math restores the true pixels under the Gemini logo — no blur, no AI guesswork.

Crop & resize

Crop to any aspect ratio with draggable handles, then resize to exact pixels or quick scales.

Convert & compress

Export to PNG, JPG or WebP with a quality slider and a live file-size estimate.

100% private

Every tool runs locally with undo/redo. Nothing is uploaded — it even works offline.

JPG to PNG in 3 steps

PNG is pre-selected the moment your image loads — no settings hunt.

Drop your JPG

Drag, paste, or browse. Multiple JPGs load into a filmstrip so you can convert a whole shoot in one go.

PNG is pre-selected

A toast confirms "Ready — click Export to download as PNG." There's no quality slider to worry about here: PNG is lossless, so from this point on nothing new is thrown away. Edit first if you like — crop, redact, add transparency by removing the background.

Download the PNG

Click Export for a pixel-exact PNG copy. Expect a bigger file than the JPG — that's the price of lossless — and use ZIP export when you've loaded several images.

What people use it for

Uploaders that insist on .png

Some CMSes, print services, app stores and asset pipelines only accept PNG. Convert the JPG locally instead of feeding it to an ad-covered converter site.

Starting an edit you'll save repeatedly

Re-saving a JPG as JPG degrades it a little every time. Convert to PNG once, edit and save as often as you like, and nothing further is lost.

Preparing images for transparency work

Going to cut out the background? The cutout has to live in a format with an alpha channel. Convert to PNG, then use the background remover in the same editor.

Design and dev asset handoffs

Sprite sheets, textures and reference assets are usually expected as PNG. Batch-convert the JPGs you were given and hand over a clean ZIP.

Screenshots saved as JPG by a bad default

If a tool saved your text-heavy captures as JPG, converting to PNG stops any further smearing the next time they're edited or re-saved.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about turning JPGs into PNGs.

Does converting JPG to PNG undo compression artifacts?+
No — and be wary of tools that suggest otherwise. Artifacts already in the JPG are part of its pixels, and PNG preserves them exactly. What you gain is that no new damage is added from this point on, no matter how many times you edit and re-save.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than my JPG was?+
PNG stores the image losslessly, which takes more bytes — several times more for photographic content. That's expected. If size matters, PixKit's OxiPNG optimizer can shrink the PNG further without touching a single pixel.
Can I add transparency after converting to PNG?+
Yes — that's one of the main reasons to convert. JPG has no alpha channel, but once the image is PNG you can use PixKit's background remover (flood-fill or AI) in the same editor and export a genuinely transparent PNG.
Is the PNG output really lossless?+
Yes. PixKit decodes your JPG and writes the exact same pixels into a PNG container — a bit-faithful copy of what the JPG displayed. There is no quality slider because there is nothing to lose.
Does the conversion keep EXIF data like location and camera info?+
No — the re-encode goes through the browser canvas, which strips EXIF metadata (GPS position, camera model, timestamps). For photos you're about to share, that's usually a privacy win; PixKit also has a dedicated EXIF remover if stripping metadata is the whole point.
How do I convert dozens of JPGs to PNG in one go?+
Select or drop them together. Files accepted by PixKit’s per-image and session memory guards load into a filmstrip, and one Export encodes them to PNG in a ZIP.
Where does the JPG-to-PNG conversion actually run?+
Entirely on your device, inside the browser tab. PixKit has no conversion server — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored remotely, and the tool keeps working with Wi-Fi off.

Why (and when) to convert JPG to PNG

Converting JPG to PNG is about stopping the bleeding. Every time a JPG is edited and re-saved as JPG, its lossy compression takes another small bite — text gets fuzzier, gradients band, edges grow halos. PNG is lossless: once your image is PNG, you can open, edit and save it a hundred times and the hundredth copy is pixel-identical to the first. That's why editing pipelines, asset systems and many uploaders standardize on PNG, and why the .png requirement keeps appearing on forms. It's also the format of record for anything that has to be reproduced exactly — evidence screenshots, design specs, medical and technical imagery — where "almost the same pixels" isn't good enough.

The honest part: PNG can't heal a JPG

One thing no converter can do — though plenty imply it — is undo damage already baked in. If your JPG has blocky artifacts around text, they are part of the pixels now, and the PNG will faithfully preserve those artifacts too. What conversion buys you is protection going forward: no new loss from this point on. It also gives you an alpha channel to work with — JPGs can't hold transparency, but once converted you can erase the background in PixKit and export a true transparent PNG.

Local conversion, bigger files, zero surprises

PixKit decodes your JPG and re-encodes it as PNG entirely inside the browser tab — no upload, no queue, no account, and it works offline once the page has loaded. Expect the PNG to be noticeably larger than the JPG, often several times larger for photos: lossless storage simply costs more bytes, and that's normal, not a bug. If the destination also enforces a size cap, run the result through PixKit's optimizer, which shrinks PNGs losslessly with OxiPNG. The size readout in the export card shows exactly what you're about to save, so there are no surprises after the download.

Converting in bulk

Drop a whole folder of JPGs and they stack up in the filmstrip with a batch bar. Export once and every image is encoded to PNG and delivered as a single ZIP — no per-file clicking, no daily quota. Since the converter is a full editor, each image can be cropped, straightened, color-corrected or redacted before it's included, which turns "convert, then fix elsewhere" into one pass. If some files in the pile should stay JPG, untick them in the export dialog's include list — you control exactly what lands in the ZIP.
