Convert JPG to PNG

Converts a JPG into a PNG. Worth knowing before you start: this cannot undo the compression already baked into the JPG, and the PNG will almost certainly be larger.

Your file stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is stored.

How to convert JPG to PNG

  1. Choose your JPG file.
  2. Press Convert.
  3. Download the PNG.

Supported formats

JPG / JPEG in, PNG out.

Important limitations

Worth knowing before you start, so nothing here comes as a surprise at the point you are submitting a form:

  • The PNG is usually several times larger than the JPG. PNG stores every pixel exactly, while JPG discards detail to save space.
  • Detail already lost to JPG compression cannot be recovered. The PNG preserves the JPG exactly as it is now, artefacts included.
  • JPG has no transparency, so the resulting PNG is fully opaque.

How your files are handled

This tool does its work using your browser’s own image and document engine. Your file is read from your device into the page’s memory, processed there, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent to Fyleit, never written to a server, and never stored anywhere we can reach.

You can verify that for yourself: load this page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. That is also why there is no sign-up and no email field — we have nothing to attach an account to.

Common problems

The PNG is much bigger than my JPG.

That is expected, and it is not a fault. If you need a smaller file, PNG is the wrong format for a photograph — use JPG unless something specifically requires PNG.

I wanted a transparent background.

Converting to PNG does not remove a background; it only changes the container. Removing a background requires editing the image itself, which this tool does not do.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This tool uses your browser’s own image engine, so the photo is read, processed and saved entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is stored. You can confirm this by opening your browser’s network tab, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded — the tool keeps working.
When should I use PNG instead of JPG?
PNG suits screenshots, logos, line drawings and anything with sharp edges or flat colour, where it is both smaller and cleaner. JPG suits photographs. Where a form names a format, follow the form.
