Why convert JPG to PNG?
- Lossless. Once a photo is JPG, some detail is gone; converting to PNG stops further loss on re-saves.
- Transparency. PNG supports an alpha channel, JPG doesn't.
- Crisper text and lines. Screenshots look better as PNG.
Note: converting a JPG to a PNG does not restore detail that JPG already discarded. It just prevents more loss.
How it works
- Go to the home page.
- Drop your JPG(s) in the box.
- Pick PNG from the dropdown, hit Convert.
Good for
- Screenshots and UI mockups going into a design tool.
- Images that need to be composited with transparent backgrounds.
- Archiving a JPG where you'll edit and re-save repeatedly.
