JPG to PNG Converter Guide

JPG and PNG are popular image formats used for photos, illustrations, screenshots, and web graphics. They can look similar at first, but they work in very different ways—which is why converting JPG to PNG can be useful.

Why JPG and PNG are different

JPG (or JPEG) uses lossy compression.

That means it shrinks the file by removing some image data. You can choose the quality level: higher quality creates a larger file. At the same time, stronger compression makes the file smaller but may add blur or “blocky” artifacts—especially around text and sharp edges.

PNG is lossless.

It keeps image details intact without throwing away data, so edges and text stay crisp. PNG is often the better choice for graphics, logos, UI images, and screenshots where clarity matters.

A big PNG advantage: transparency

PNG supports transparency, JPG does not.

Transparency lets parts of an image be truly see-through, which is perfect for overlays, icons, stickers, and placing a logo on different backgrounds without a white box around it.

Note about printing

PNG is excellent for digital use, but it typically doesn’t support CMYK color like some print workflows require. If your goal is professional printing, formats like TIFF or print-ready PDFs may be a better fit depending on your printer’s requirements.

Why Convert JPG to PNG?

The main reason to convert JPG to PNG is simple: PNG supports transparency. If your image has a solid background (often white) and you want to remove it in an editor, JPG makes that harder because every pixel must contain a color. There are no “empty” pixels—so background areas get filled with white, black, or other colors instead of true transparency.

Keep more details when saving and sharing.

PNG is also lossless, which means it keeps image details intact when saved. That’s helpful for logos, text-heavy images, icons, and screenshots where you want crisp edges. And if you upload a PNG to platforms that apply extra compression, a PNG often holds up better and stays closer to the original look.

A quick caution for printing

If you need to print the image professionally later, keep the original JPG too. PNG files typically don’t include CMYK color data, which many print workflows rely on. For printing, your printer may prefer formats like JPG (high quality), TIFF, or PDF, depending on the job.
