Convert JPG to PNG

PNG is the format to reach for when you need transparency, crisp text or line art, or a lossless copy that won't degrade further on re-saves — things JPG can't do. Converting a JPG to PNG is common before adding it to a design tool, logo, or overlay.

Retouchr converts JPG to PNG locally in your browser, with no upload and no account needed.

FAQ

Will converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?

No — any quality loss already baked into the JPG stays. PNG just stops further loss from that point on; it can't restore detail the JPG compression removed.

Will the file get bigger?

Usually yes, especially for photos — PNG uses lossless compression, which is typically larger than JPG for photographic content.

Does converting to PNG add transparency?

No — a JPG has no transparency data to begin with, so the PNG output will still have a solid background unless you edit it afterward (e.g. with the Transparent Background tool).
