JPG naar PNG
Convert JPG/JPEG images to PNG format entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless format that won't degrade when edited repeatedly, making it the right choice when you plan to add transparant backgrounds, perform further editing, or need lossless preservation for important images. While PNG files are larger than JPG, they support alpha transparantie and won't suffer generation loss from multiple save cycles.

Veelgestelde vragen
Will converting JPG naar PNG improve image quality?
No, it will not improve quality. PNG is a lossless format that preserves all pixel information currently in the JPG, but it cannot recover detail already lost to JPG compressie. The main benefit of converting to PNG is preventing additional quality loss during future edits and enabling transparantie support.
Will I get a transparant background after converting JPG naar PNG?
Direct conversion does not automatically create transparantie — JPG itself has no alfakanaal. To get a transparant background, convert to PNG first, then use an image editor or background removal tool to erase the background. PNG simply supports storing transparantie; the conversion alone doesn't create it.
Will the PNG file be larger than the original JPG?
Yes, typically 2-5x larger. JPG uses high-efficiency lossy compressie, while PNG uses lossless compressie. For the same photo, PNG files are significantly larger. If you don't need lossless quality or transparantie, stick with JPG.
Why convert JPG naar PNG instead of just using JPG?
JPG is ideal for direct viewing, sharing, and uploadening with broadest compatibility. But if you need to edit the image multiple times, add transparant backgrounds, or use it as design source material, PNG is the better choice because repeated saves won't degrade quality.
Are my images uploadened to a server? Is it private?
No uploadens. All processing happens locally in your browser via Web Workers. Your JPG files never leave your device. Processing personal photos and sensitive images is completely safe.
Is batch JPG naar PNG conversion supported?
Currently one JPG is processed at a time to ensure local processing stability. Process files one by one for multiple conversions. Batch functionality may be added in future versions.
Can JPG photos from phones be converted?
Absolutely. JPG/JPEG files from phones, cameras, screenshot tools, and any other source all convert normally with no device restrictions.
I actually want smaller files — what should I convert to?
If you want smaller files rather than larger ones, consider converting to WebP using the [JPG to WebP](/image/jpg-to-webp/) tool. At equivalent quality, WebP is 25-35% smaller than JPG and works great for web use.
