Convert a JPG Image to PNG
JPG compresses a photo by discarding some detail, which keeps the file small but rules out transparency. PNG keeps every pixel and supports a transparent background, so designers, editors, and anyone preparing a graphic for further work convert to it before they start editing.
What you get:
How to Convert JPG to PNG
- Upload the JPG file: from your computer, phone, or tablet, through the browser. No install.
- Convert it in the app: open the file and use the convert tool to turn it into PNG.
- Download the PNG: save it or hand it to your editing software. It keeps every pixel from the original.
If you need to go the other way on the same photo, ScreenApp also converts PNG to JPG. See pricing for what each plan includes.

Who Converts JPG to PNG
Graphic designers convert a JPG photo to PNG before removing the background, since PNG is the format that keeps a transparent layer.
Image editors convert to PNG before heavy editing, so repeated saves do not add new compression artifacts on top of what the JPG already has.
Web designers convert JPG graphics and icons to PNG so they sit cleanly over different background colors on a page.
Logo designers convert a JPG logo to PNG so it can display on light and dark backgrounds without a visible box around it.
Print professionals convert to PNG to preserve the detail already in a JPG through the rest of the production process.
