About JPG to PNG
JPG to PNG saves the pixels of your JPG in the PNG format. PNG is lossless, so saving again does not add more compression damage, but it cannot bring back detail an earlier JPEG save discarded.
iLikePDF's JPG to PNG tool lets you save a JPG as a lossless PNG file with one click – free and without any software. It is a good fit for some editors, design tools and upload forms ask for PNG specifically, you plan several rounds of editing and want to avoid another JPEG re-save each time and you need a lossless copy of a screenshot, chart or graphic that happened to be saved as JPG. You may also know it as jpg to png online, free jpg to png.
Everything happens in your browser: your files are not uploaded to our servers. It is private by design, quick to use and mobile-friendly.

When This Conversion Makes Sense
Good reasons to convert
- Some editors, design tools and upload forms ask for PNG specifically.
- You plan several rounds of editing and want to avoid another JPEG re-save each time.
- You need a lossless copy of a screenshot, chart or graphic that happened to be saved as JPG.
When to use something else
- Making a photo smaller: the PNG will usually be larger. Use Compress Image instead.
- Recovering quality or removing blur: conversion cannot repair a JPG.
- Getting a transparent background: a JPG has no alpha channel; you would need to cut the subject out in an editor first.
Check the Result
- Open the PNG and compare it with the JPG at 100% zoom.
- Check the file size against the upload limit.
- Confirm the dimensions are unchanged.
The tool converts one image per run, keeps the pixel dimensions, and does not carry over camera or location metadata. It uses your browser's own image encoder, so the exact bytes can differ between browsers.

Nahi. Yeh tool aapke browser me chalta hai; aapki file iLikePDF ke server par upload nahi hoti. (Kuch features ek helper library CDN se load karte hain, lekin aapki file unme nahi jaati.)
5. Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG stores the pixels exactly as they are now, which stops further JPEG loss, but it cannot restore detail that the JPG already discarded.
6. Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?
JPEG throws away detail to save space. PNG keeps every pixel, so photographs typically produce a larger file.
7. Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG is opaque. Removing a background needs an editing tool.
8. Is the conversion done on my device?
Yes. The image is drawn onto a canvas in your browser and encoded as PNG there; the tool code does not upload it.
9. Are EXIF details such as location kept?
No. Redrawing the image on a canvas does not carry over camera or location metadata.
10. Will the size in pixels change?
No. The PNG has the same width and height as the JPG.
11. Can I convert several JPGs at once?
This tool converts one image per run. Repeat the steps for each file.
12. Which tool makes a JPG smaller instead?
Use Compress Image for a lighter JPG or Image Size Converter to aim for a KB limit.
13. Why do colours look slightly different?
Colour profiles are handled by the browser. Compare both files in the same colour-managed viewer if accuracy matters.
14. What if I need PNG turned back into JPG?
Use the PNG to JPG converter. Transparent areas become white.
