What is JPG?
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format on the web. It uses lossy compression that discards detail the human eye is unlikely to notice, producing small files that are perfect for photographs and complex images with smooth colour gradients.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format that preserves every pixel exactly and supports a full alpha-transparency channel. It is the standard choice for logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic with sharp edges, flat colour or transparent areas.
JPG vs PNG: how they compare
Before converting, it helps to know how JPG and PNG stack up. The table below breaks it down.
| JPG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Image | Image |
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Quality | Lossy | Lossless |

Why convert JPG to PNG?
The usual reason to turn JPG into PNG is compatibility: PNG is the right fit for logos and icons and screenshots.
What PNG gives you: lossless — no quality loss, full transparency support and crisp edges and text.
Where JPG falls short: lossy — quality degrades each time you re-save, no transparency and compression artefacts on sharp edges and text. Converting keeps your content while moving to a format that matches where the file is going.
Tips for the best results
- PNG is lossless, so your converted files keep every detail of the original JPG.
- You can convert several files in one go — add as many JPG files as you like and download them together.
- Everything runs locally in your browser, so even large files convert quickly and nothing is uploaded.
