Convert JPG to PNG

Two honest reasons to convert JPG to PNG: a destination demands PNG specifically (some upload forms, app stores, and design tools do), or you are about to edit the image and want to stop JPG compression loss from compounding with every save. One thing PNG will not do: add transparency. If the JPG has a background you want removed, that is a background-removal job (FastEdit has a tool for it) not a conversion job. Converting runs locally in your browser with no upload.

Quick answer

What to expect

The PNG keeps the JPG's current pixels exactly, at 2–6× the file size. Quality cannot improve (JPG artifacts stay) but no further loss is added, and every future edit saves cleanly. Transparency is not created by converting.

How to finish the conversion

  1. 01

    Open the converter

    Use the drop zone here or app.fastedit.net in any modern browser. No install, no account.

  2. 02

    Drop your JPG files

    Drag in .jpg or .jpeg images. Batch-select to convert several at once.

  3. 03

    PNG is pre-selected

    The editor opens with PNG output ready. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality setting to tune.

  4. 04

    Edit if needed

    Cropping, resizing, or background removal can happen in the same session before export: one lossless pass at the end.

  5. 05

    Export

    Download the PNG. Everything ran on your device; nothing was uploaded.

Benefits

Switch formats in the browser, then download the version that actually fits.
