JPG vs PNG — What Is the Difference?
JPG uses lossy compression — it permanently discards some image data to reduce file size. PNG uses lossless compression — every pixel is preserved perfectly. PNG also supports transparent backgrounds, which JPG cannot. Converting JPG to PNG gives you a lossless copy of your image with full alpha channel support.
When to Convert JPG to PNG?
Use PNG when you need: transparent backgrounds for logos and icons, pixel-perfect screenshots, images that will be edited multiple times (avoid generation loss), images for websites with CSS overlays requiring transparency, and print-quality graphics.
How to Convert JPG to PNG — Step by Step
Upload one or multiple JPG files (batch supported), optionally set a background color or transparency, click Convert, and download your PNG files individually or as a ZIP archive.
