Convert JPG to PNG losslessly

Re-encode any JPEG as a lossless PNG with an alpha channel. Everything runs in your browser — no uploads.

Quick Start

How it works

Pick an image, tune the options, then download the result. Everything runs in your browser.

  1. 01

    Pick a JPG

    Drop or select a JPEG file. It stays on your device.

    Files stay in memory as an HTMLImageElement — the original bytes are never uploaded, and EXIF metadata is preserved until you explicitly transform it.

    Auto re-encode

    The browser decodes JPEG and re-encodes pixel data as lossless PNG.

    Encoder quality is exposed where the format supports it — JPEG and WebP get a 0–1 quality slider; PNG is lossless. Options re-render the canvas immediately.

    Compare sizes

    PNG is usually larger than JPEG for photos — it preserves every pixel exactly.

    Pixel work runs on the Canvas 2D context — drawImage resamples with the browser’s bilinear filter and getImageData/putImageData back per-pixel passes.

    Download PNG

    Save the PNG. Useful when you need an alpha-capable container.

    Downloads ship via a hidden anchor with an object URL — no server round-trip, and the file on disk is untouched. The output filename inherits a sensible suffix.

Pro tips

Browser-only image work that scales

Convert with quality control

JPEG/WebP let you pick a 0–1 quality. Default 0.92 is a good compromise of size and visible quality.

PNG isn&rsquo;t free

Use PNG only for transparency or sharp edges. For photos, WebP is smaller at the same perceived quality.

Strip EXIF for privacy

Photo EXIF often contains GPS, camera model, and timestamps. Strip before sharing public uploads.

Watch the colour profile

Convert to sRGB before web export. Wide-gamut images render oversaturated in non-managed browsers.

AVIF when it&rsquo;s available

AVIF beats WebP on size at the same quality. Detect support via <picture> with fallbacks.

Lazy-load below the fold

Add loading="lazy" on <img>. The browser handles scheduling — no IntersectionObserver needed.

Use Cases

When to use this tool

Common workflows it speeds up.

Editing pipeline

PNG is the safe handoff format for further lossless edits. Decoded into a Canvas 2D context — original bytes never leave the tab, so you can process customer-uploaded photos, internal screenshots, or sensitive diagrams without privacy concerns.

px-perfect

Compatibility

Some tools refuse JPEGs but accept PNG. Encoders expose quality 0–1 where the format supports it (JPEG, WebP); PNG and AVIF stay perceptually lossless. Pick 0.85 for web, 0.95 for archival, 0.7 for thumbnails.

quality-tunable

Add transparency later

PNG carries an alpha channel JPEG can't. Pair with the EXIF Stripper before sharing user-uploaded photos publicly. Camera serial numbers, GPS coordinates, and timestamps often hide in image metadata and leak more than the picture itself.

format-aware

Avoid generational loss

Stop further JPEG re-encoding from degrading quality. Output preserves colour profile (sRGB) so it renders consistently across browsers, monitors, and print pipelines. Wide-gamut workflows can opt into Display P3 for modern Apple devices.

EXIF-safe

Archival snapshots

Keep one lossless copy alongside JPEG masters. Re-runs only on option changes, never on window resize, so the canvas stays responsive on large images. drawImage uses the browser's bilinear filter for fast resampling.

client-side

Documentation

PNG is the de facto format for screenshots and docs. Downloads as .png, .jpg, .webp, or .avif with the correct MIME so editors apply native handling on save. The filename inherits a sensible suffix derived from the input.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. JPEG loss is permanent — PNG just stops further degradation.
Rarely — PNG is lossless and typically several times larger than JPEG for photos.
JPEG has no transparency to preserve. The PNG output has a fully opaque alpha channel.
Yes, limited only by your browser's memory.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
