Questions

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. PNG keeps the image exactly as it is now, but it cannot restore detail that JPG compression already removed.

Why is the PNG bigger than the JPG?

PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly. For photos that makes the file larger. Set a maximum width to reduce it.

Will the background become transparent?

No. A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG keeps the same background. Removing a background needs an image editor.

When should I use PNG?

When you will edit the image again, when a form asks for PNG, or for graphics with sharp edges and text.

Is JPEG the same as JPG?

Yes. JPG and JPEG are two names for the same image format; older Windows versions only allowed three-letter file extensions. This converter accepts both.

When PNG is the better choice

You will edit the image again. Every time a JPG is saved it loses a little quality. Convert to PNG once, then edit and save as often as you like.
A form or tool asks for PNG. Some sign-up forms, design tools and app stores only accept PNG.
The image has text or sharp lines. Charts, diagrams and screenshots stay crisper in PNG once you start editing them.

For photos you just want to share, JPG is usually the better format, because the files are much smaller.

Common mistakes

Expecting better quality. PNG stops further quality loss, but it cannot bring back detail that was lost when the JPG was made. Start from the best original you have.
Expecting a transparent background. Converting does not remove the background. The white or coloured background in the JPG stays in the PNG.
Making a huge file by accident. A 12-megapixel photo as PNG can be over 15 MB. If you do not need full size, set a maximum width such as 1,600 pixels.

Examples

Editing a product photo: convert the JPG to PNG, crop and adjust it in your editor as many times as needed, then export the final version as JPG or WebP for the web.

App or website icons: a design tool asks for a PNG icon. Convert your JPG, then crop it to a square with Crop image.

Adding a picture to a PDF: PNG and JPG both work with Add image to PDF. Use PNG for logos and stamps with sharp edges.
