Your JPG source
A JPG source arrives with its photographic compression already applied. The converter decodes that picture into pixels; any blocks or softness visible in the source are part of those decoded pixels.

JPG to PNG: what changes?
The PNG result
The PNG result stores the decoded picture with lossless compression. It can be useful as the next editing copy, but a plain JPG photo does not gain a transparent background simply by changing formats.
Explore the PNG converterExpect some photographs to become larger. This conversion retains the picture dimensions and does not sharpen, trace, or reconstruct missing detail.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?
The JPG source and PNG result use different compression methods. PNG may need more bytes to store the decoded photo without another lossy image encoding.
Does JPG to PNG create transparency?
No. A JPG starts as an opaque image. Saving its decoded pixels as PNG does not remove the background.
Will this PNG keep my photo dimensions?
The converter uses the decoded JPG width and height without resizing. Use the image resizer if you need different dimensions.
Can I convert a JPEG filename here?
Yes. Files ending in .jpg or .jpeg are treated as the same source format in this workspace.
